latemodelchild Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Worked hard today and put in a solid performance. Didn't nesh tackles and didn't mess about with it when he could have. OK his crossing needs to be better but I'd rather he concentrate on stopping goals before creating them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddogbob Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Apart from the crossing (again) thought he was solid enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quist Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 He had a good defensively sound game. he also got into correct areas going forward. his crossing improved as game went on, think forwards could have gambled more with some of later crosses. Decent all round performance. I think side is benefiting from a settled back four, chopping and changing is no good for anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rest of his game good except the odd weak clearance right into the wrong spot. A great cross in the first half and an even better one at the Kop end that fizzed across the 6 yard box. Both full backs benefiting from Westwoods constant instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) Excellent is pushing it a bit, I’d expect a fullback to at least deliver some crosses close to the mark. Also, a poor touch conceded possession and ultimately led to their goal - although harsh to pin it on him entirely. Worked the hardest I’ve seen him work. That needs to be the benchmark for effort. For me, that was a 7/10 performance from him. Edited January 1, 2019 by McRightSide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sternlad Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Think he’s always had the potential to be a good full back but often wasn’t sharp enough to get back either into his own position or to fill in behind other defenders. If only he was more two footed he would have the option to cut back onto his left foot and deliver a different in swinging cross. Get the feeling he thinks he’s the finished article which he isn’t. This applies to a lot of players who don’t see the need to keep learning. IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S72 Owl Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Solid today. Both him and Fox are decent full backs in this league. They’ll never be quality going forward but have proved these past fe matches they can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His final ball more often than not is hit and hope it finds one of ours. However is overall play has improved recently and he deserves credit for that.

s6 owl Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Attitude and commitment was absolutely spot on today but he still lacked that bit of quality when it mattered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roundhayowl Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 His end product isn’t good enough and never will be. He did the best he could do but we must improve in this area...same with left back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo10179 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I think I must have watched a different game today. Wasn’t impressed with Palmer, again. Crossing, bar one on 75mins, was woeful, in general he’s weak in a challenge and doesn’t score, but gets into some great positions. I seem to notice that, again for their goal, he’s slow at tracking back and gives up too easily. Might be me being over critical, but he’s been at the club a long time and never grabbed that left back position for himself whether due to lack of competition, long term injury (can’t think of any off top of my head) or just managers 2nd choice. Fletcher man of match today by a country mile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
