Guest timrud Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Agreed, Palmer is a solid 6/10, but really needs to improve on his attacking play. Hes an OK defender and always puts 100% in. If we want to improve he needs to play less. If he plays all season we won't make the play offs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it’s just the other 5 positions to sort out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BD2OWL Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Be fair to Palmer he’s had next to naff all cover in front of him if he was to get forward. Boyd and Matias for example where not fit enough to track back - ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an aspect of his game which pleasantly surprised me once he got fully fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boyd and Matias for example where not fit enough to track back - ever. Iorfa managed it fine, chipping in with both goals and an assist. Palmer totalled zero last season, only 2 assists in 17/18 and zero goals or assists in 16/17. To put it into context, Morgan Fox got 3 assists playing in the same position as Palmer as well. Palmer is better than Fox, but when arguably our worst full-back is getting 3 more assists than him, you have to worry about his attacking threat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeadonowl Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Bruce came in and immediately brought in two new full backs Palmer only played because Lazaar was never fit Hes ok defensively but we need much better going forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casbahowl Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 11 hours ago, Beholder said: The collective (and repetitive) wisdom of the owlstalk usual suspects is that Palmer is garbage. Yet Bruce comes in, immediately trusts him and plays him consistently to till the end of the season and offers him a two year deal. Now a new signing (potentially) comes in and they are back telling us how everyone is better than him and he will hardly play. Let's just wait and see. Depends on the system and the opposition. It's been done to death on here (because said posters are so relentless) but Palmer has plenty of qualities that other players done have. Oh the absolute irony!

The problem was he didn’t have much pace in the first place and now is a proper plodder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
