SiJ Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Anyway... My take is both he and Westwood were culpable for that. Liam has a brainfart moment and Westwood, once again, comes out of his goal like a mad man. Poor all round and these defensive lapses are slowly but surely blowing our chances of a top 6 finish. Oh, and the fact we constantly miss quality chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrysgame Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 (edited) Agree. There will always be mistakes. What kills us is 1 goal per game, no way can be get in the top 2 or play offs scoring so few. One striker just does not work for us. Should have kept Hooper, when he played he was clinical in front of goal Edited November 24, 2019 by Harrysgame Update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastor Kidneys Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 The real reason Palmer was sent off was because he'd lost his head/concentration due to his naive defending leading to the penalty. It was a shocking tackle because he was probably embarrassed by his mistake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really deal in extremes dont you? Know shades of grey with @casbahowl. This is a big chance for Moses, RB has been our stand out priority since the days of the white Cafu..... the position is his for the taking!

Yes...but he needs to perform much better than he has done so. There is a reason Palmer and Fox have been chosen ahead of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldishowl Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Might be an opportunity to bring Lees back and move Iorfa. For all of Iorfa’s obvious athletic ability he still has a tendency to ball watch and lose his man. Some of his fantastic last ditch tackles are because he is in the wrong place to start with. He also gets done too often on back post headers from crosses , lost one in the first minute yesterday which they should have scored from. Realise it’s not straightforward. Iorfa is still learning and could become a great centre half but he is erratic and despite looking fantastic at times he always seems part of the problem when we do concede Will be interesting to see what Monk does.

From what we were told this week he’s been very close to starting recently and now with the woeful Palmers ban the position is his to lose.

Bouncing Owl Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Palmer needs taking out of the team for a bit. I actually think since he has played right back, his form has dipped. He was brilliant at left back earlier in the season. Very disappointed about his tackle. Thoroughly deserved red card. I would also fine him at least a weeks wages for it as well.

Beholder Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 (edited) I thought this thread would have gained momentum. Palmer has never been sent off before (I don't think) and it's rare for him to make mistakes. But mistakes happen to players and he made one yesterday, along with Westwood I won't be using it as a reason to start campaign against him because it fits agenda I already have though..

trev Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Our full backs have been awful since Hunt went and Pudils legs went. Even when they were here I still felt that full back was our weakest position. Positions that have been neglected for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shetland Owl Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 would even consider trying Lee at RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest timrud Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 He regularly can't beat the first man with a cross. Every game I've been to this season he's just passed the ball out of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll go and get those toys you just threw out your pram. Let you calm down. To be fair he's still in ambling mode which leads to all sorts of problems for the others, after he's done a surging run and crossed the ball aimlessly or missed by miles, he still believing he has the ability to shoot. Apart from that he's fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a reason Palmer and Fox have been chosen ahead of him. I thought Odubajo was starting to grow into his role and look more confident. Played well against Everton in the cup. And then he was dropped. This is his chance now. Palmer has improved and is steady, but I still don’t think he’s the answer at right back going forward. We need better. Before his injury Odubajo was top draw. Hope he can find that form again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Farrell Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Palmer has improved but still a long way a promotion winning fullback. Lees back in the side and Big Dom to fullback please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
