Of course. I'm not saying that he's not a good player. He's developed into a competent Championship right-back. I'm just pointing out that those who refer to him as naive or 'needing to learn' seem to overlook the fact that he's one of our experienced players now rather than an up-and-coming youngster, and the weaknesses in his game probably aren't going to suddenly disappear at this stage of his career.

casbahowl Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 One goal and single figure assists in over 300 games ....... so very lucky to have been offered another contract and his referral to type since he signed it is no coincidence. Squad player at the absolute tops! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 not the first time we've seen that, is it?

Sultan_Pepper Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I thought he was the best player on the pitch yesterday. Funny thing opinions 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owl 44 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Tell you what I did notice yesterday, that when Palmer went forward, Murphy dropped back into his position until he got back. Happened a few times. Never seen that before and I think normally Hutch would do that job. Monk has obviously drilled them well with things like that. Just needs to drill them in how to defend a lead for more than 2 minutes now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You lot being instantly negative as soon as we drop points is just depressing. Cheer up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopparberg Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 He’s not the first Wednesday player to make the wrong decision and won’t be the last. Ties in with the game management thread. I like Palmer btw. Deserves as much credit as the rest of the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
33 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Not sure I've seen a Palmer Scapegoat thread for a while. Suppose as Fox playing well now and Dawson on the bench we need to go back full circle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With good wingbacks you really don't need wingers supplying the ammo for the forwards, this allows you to play a proper 433 with the 3 midfield players playing narrow and stopping midfield becoming overrun which is a poblem we have when we go 442 with 2 wide men supporting Fletcher.

Both full backs offer very little going forward and whilst both have shown some improvement, Palmer and Fox are still the weakest part of the team - and have been for years now.

WalthamOwl Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Palmer is an average player, nothing more nothing less. Would like us to sign better but at the minute I feel we need to improve up top more than defence. Be bloody nice to improve both in January though.

Jeez how many excuses can we come up with, 3 out and out wingers, midfielders with the creativity of Bannan and Luongo, and we’re blaming the full backs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a football forum for people to have opinions Are you saying you don't want people to air their views If so, why even bother having a forum?
