Absolute useless donkey 

 

Complete calamity in defence - that’s the third penalty he’s given away this year. 
 

Palmer back in now

 

He was VERY unlucky to concede the penalty last night, after watching it again i think it's harsh. He had a decent game up until then, head loss after with the red card.

 

Either way, that's the 3rd penalty he's conceded this season and not the first time he's been directly at fault for a goal.

 

The debate between him/Palmer is the similar to the Hunt/Palmer from seasons ago. Odubajo is considerably better going forward but I think its apparent he's a liability defending(very reliant on his pace to get him out of trouble), whereas Palmer doesn't offer as much going forward but he's a more stable defender. Given how poor Murphy has been I think that's why Monk favours a more attacking RB down that side - but it's getting harder to ignore how poor Odubajo can be defensively. (I also think Hunt was a much better attacker and defender than Odubajo is). 

 

Palmer will get a run of games now and aslong as he's solid the place is his too lose.

Odubajo actually conceded us a goal last week by not marking tight enough on his defender - he’s cost us another yesterday and almost a point by getting sent off, another ten mins in that game and we would’ve been done

 

And the week before at Charlton when he committed himself far too high up the pitch which cost us.

 

Bloke must be responsible for at least half a dozen goals. Awful.

Iorfa is literally head and shoulders above any other RB at the club.

To suggest otherwise would indicate more than McRightside has substance abuse issues!

Yeah, let's move our best CB. 

 

Good idea.

Oh the absolute irony …… calling fans clueless and stupid whilst advocating the return of the woeful Palmer ahead of a back 4 of Iorfa, Borner, Lees & Fox 


You have negged every post mate in here that says bring Palmber back in whilst 99% of everyone in this thread thinks Odubajo isn’t good enough 

 

And how many more times - Iorfa is NOT an option at right back when he’s having season of his life at CB. Why would you shuffle the pack - even Monk has said he isn’t moving him. Is there anything upstairs with you?! 
 

by the way woeful Palmer has been part of a defence that is still In the top 5 defences in the league - must be terrible eh?

Give it a rest

 

Arms all over him in box And leaning in - it’s not first time he’s done it and he’s got away with it in past 

 

He looks prone to doing it every single time - nightmare at the back, no confidence 

A fine example there of why there will always be a debate in football no matter how much VAR there is. 2 people, looking at the same incident, 2 different opinions. Got to love it. lol

For me wasn't a pen, but if it was at the other end i would have been shouting for one. Just the way it is. As for Moses, was unlucky and clumsy at the same time, feel sorry for him as not as blatant as Preston pens, but still means he wracks up giving away another pen.

You have a bloke excelling at CB in Iorfa.  

 

Honestly, a bloke looking like a Premier League player in the future. 

 

You then have a competent enough RB in Palmer who can "do a job" and an absolutely liabiity in Moses. 

 

So, despite this, some of the resident brainstrust, have decided that the best thing to do is shove the best CB at the club right now to RB. 

 

What's the point?

Whenever someone says 'worst we ever had' I feel tempted to bring up Abdi or Urbi...

 

 

In fairness, while I quickly reach max pulse every time the ball comes near Odubajo, he did an ok job of defending yesterday right up to a few situations before the penalty. Monk should have subbed him, that's on Odubajo for not being subbed, he tried the best he could but his defensive qualities are lacking.

He’s not the best CH at the club. At the moment we have 2 average full backs & 2 good CH. Move Iorfa to RB then the only average player is LB. The other 3 are good.

75% quality  of back 4 instead of 50% is an improvement surely?

That’s not how it works though 

 

Iorfa pace at CB is getting us out of jail time and time again 

 

We have Borner and Lees there and we lose that completely and will be more open 

 

It’s not a case of shoving 3 good CB into a back four which is what everyone thinks

There's a reason the rest of the squad call him 'oh no Mo'

 

Initially impressed with the signing, since seeing him play he is the weakest link in defence, even Fox has upped his game. He offers very little going forward either....

 

Palmer back just in a nick of time. Onwards and upwards.

Disagree. You’re advocating an average RB in Palmer or Moses when you could have Iorfa there. His pace can still cover Lees.
