scilly owl Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Ok friends, just a quick call to arms !! Should Palmer not be fit for tomorrow and Bully goes for Fox... PLEASE, give him a right royal welcome and an extra cheer when his name is read out. If we do that then I’m convinced that we will have an effective full back on our hands. Go on, try it, you’ll notice the difference ! 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beholder Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Happy with either. Palmer much better all round footballer but Fox the better defender. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guesswhosback Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Even if Palmer isn't fit Fox wouldn't start for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyowl Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Palmer, but Fox is a more than capable back up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myHero Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 (edited) Fox will play an important part this season, at times. Accept his limitations. Recognize he's dangerous from set pieces, good at crossing and if there's a challenge which needs to be made he'll go rattling in without hesitation. He's never taken the p1ss out of the club, so we shouldn't be taking it out of him. Edited August 23, 2019 by Ozymandias Owl 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myHero Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I would start Palmer ahead of Fox if Palmer is fit though. I think they will both score for Wednesday this season, but Palmer is more of an attacking threat. Fox will score from a set piece at some point.

outlaw pete Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Neither for me,both are poor players. Neither would get into big Ron’s promotion team nor Wilkos team. We need better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouncing Owl Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Palmer without a doubt. Vastly improved. Should be first choice fullback named on the team sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myHero Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Just now, outlaw pete said: Neither for me,both are poor players. Neither would get into big Ron’s promotion team nor Wilkos team. We need better. Yes, Nigel Worthington was better, but even he used to get stick in his day. This season we only have Fox or Palmer to choose from and strikers who are going to sit on the bench or not even make the 18 who are getting paid more than them. That's been the Wednesday way. Recent signings suggest that's changing. Palmer does look like a different player though since Bruce started him at LB. He will play a big part this season hopefully.

torres Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Since his move to left back I don’t think Palmer has done a lot wrong. If fact since his return to first team action he’s been one of the most consistent players in the squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrs Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Don’t get the slating of Palmer, he’s a very sound defender at this level. Fox too isn’t as bad as people make out. Yes he’s not especially comfortable on the ball but he’s a decent defender and provides perfectly adequate cover IMO. Palmer the first choice for me though, should come back in so long as he’s 100% fit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Palmer at right back, Fox at left back, especially if we play both our flying wingers We can’t afford to have Odubajo or Iorfa going walkabout behind them, because Preston will exploit that 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimjamowl Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Phil King used to get slaughtered too but 25 years later he is a cult hero. I can understand a few collective groans when a player messes up but booing one of our own before a match just isn't going to help anybody. Fox is OK. Not the best, but let's get behind what we've got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owl999 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Palmer for me although I don’t fully understand the dogs abuse that Fox gets, we’ve had a lot worse players that were hero worshiped by the fans Reda Johnson for one . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowl Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I'm happy with Palmer at left back, he's turned into a good player at this level, not great but certainly good. If Fox plays like he did the other night is more than adequate. People who give them stick need to re-evaluate the situation, Palmer is a much better player than he was and Fox looks like he's stepped up a level or two.

Guest ka58 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Palmer should play he’s been excellent at LB since moving there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzybmzoo Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Not into sticking the boot into our players but Fox is a waste of a shirt. Offers absolutely nothing. Refuses to pass forward and if you notice, our players only pass to him as a last resort. People say he's a good defender; he gets skinned repeatedly, caught out of position and struggles to even force players out wide/onto the wrong foot. Again, not a fan of slating our players but I wouldn't have him anywhere near the team, not if we're serious about challenging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamAP22D Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I'm comfortable with either, if Palmer is anything less than 100% then id go with Fox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casbahowl Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 We have a much better shape/balance with a natural LB actually playing LB. Having said that it’s still a position of concern no matter whom of the present squad plays there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
