Guest Ash76 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Had the spotlight taken off him by Westwood but why wait to be closed down before clearing your lines? The ball he tried to play down the pitch that hit their player put us under immediate pressure that we were unable to recover from before conceding the 2nd. Generally i thought he was a little better today than in recent weeks but has looked well short since being switched back to the right. Just before Odubajo's omission I thought he was starting to settle in. I'd be tempted to bring him back in to give Palmer a bit of a kick up the backside, especially as Palmer is going away with Scotland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Palmer is our most improved player this season but lacks fitness imo. He’s blowing out of his rear end after 20 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palmer has definitely improved a lot but today along with Westwood hes cost us that win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SallyCinnamon Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Did ok today until that moment. Odubajo was finding his groove before he got dropped. I’d like to see him in again personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Down South Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Everyone loves to see home-grown talent do well, but I don’t think he’s close to being good enough for any team with genuine Premier League ambitions. I’d like to see Odubajo given another run in the team, a full back with more attacking instincts might help increase our goal threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 As most of you probably now, I'm not Palmer's biggest fan He always puts a shift in, but it's not enough for a modern day full back His defending has improved over the last 2 years, but he still does silly things If I was our manager, his position would be the first to come under review, I'd want a modern day full back who can actually cross a ball He gets into some great positions, but his crossing is woeful Having said all that, I thought he did okay today 1 Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

Tank_owl Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Apparently didn't train yesterday because of a knock, might have affected his game today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 He’s been sub par for weeks. That clearance was amateurish but to try to pin some responsibility for the goal on him is harsh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash77 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Palmer lucky to get so many starts imo, can be shaky on ball and make errors at back, compounded by rarely offering a threat by getting a decent cross in. Decent bench player for rb/lb maybe. Moses was unlucky to get dropped and deserves another chance imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think Palmer's little indiscretion was bad then you've obviously not witnessed the 10 absolute bomb scare moments that Moses brings every match. Just not bothered...

Mr. Tom Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Works hard and improved a lot last year or so; one criticism I always find myself making at games though is that he doesn't track his man properly. Constantly drifts off his mark and needs cover far too often - we get caught on the overlap so, so often because it's so easy to peel away from him and make 5-10yds of space for a run. If only he could nail that part of his game he'd look so much more reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't argue that Moses was woeful in a fair few of the early games this season but as Sally says he had started to settle in and was improving game by game. Palmer was playing consistently better on the left than he has done since moving back to the right as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest timrud Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 He seldom offers anything going forwards, Fox's delivery is good into the box. Palmer could learn a lot from him. He had a decent run at the end of last season when his contract was due - I'd like to see this again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
