@owlstalk Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Homegrown talent Liam Palmer has now played 250 games for Sheffield Wednesday. Quite an achievement and when you consider some of the criticism he came under for his earlier performances as he was finding his feet it's all the more impressive. But how much do you rate Liam Palmer? Has he improved enough and is he now a player you rate? When was the first time you saw Liam play for Sheffield Wednesday? Do you have a slightly different impression of Liam Palmer because he's come through the ranks? Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogers Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 He gets in good positions on many occasions and always fizzes it up. He’s not a bad squad player and has steady games more often than not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Down South Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 He’s adequate for where we are now - can probably extend that to cover our other home grown talent Dawson (given they are both pictured). That’s about all I can offer on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Stronger and more dependable than he used to be. Has cut out some of his lapses in concentration defensively, but still the odd wobble. Must improve his offensive game, but turning 29 this year I'm not sure how much improvement we're likely to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torres Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I can’t question his attitude on and off the pitch He seems from the outside that he wants to succeed here and looks as though he tries his best Like so many of the squad not really improved over the last 4 or 5 years and can be deemed as a useful squad player if we want to progress as a club Lacks that extra bit of quality at important times in key areas Still currently our best full back - on either side of the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Improved a lot under Bruce. Solid and dependable. Still if we are serious about promotion ambitions then we need better. But can’t fault him and some achievement. Been a great servant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room0035 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 He is a good 6-7 out of 10 performer a good championship standard performer, more suited to a defensive right back rather than an attacking winger, but very useful for the squad as can play well on both flanks and has the physical presents unlike some of the midgets we have in the squad. I also used to work with one of his family and by their account is a very down to earth local lad, who though he is a footballer has never forgotten his fairly local routes (Worksop).

Stoop Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I like Palmer. He’s got a good engine on him, never goes into hiding and he’s definitely improved as a defender during the last 12 months Only downside is his crossing at times and he could do with chipping in with a few goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoop Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 He’s got some decent guns on him too these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sMacLean Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Probably had 5 years here more than he should have based on quality. Solid pro though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Solid enough squad player for a mid-table team at this level. Looked impressive under Bruce at left-back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I've said it before, he's a very good athlete Works tirelessly up and down the pitch His defending has improved immensely, but it needed to I'm not mention his ability to cross the ball The fact he's played so many games for Wednesday, is a reflection on how bad we have been as a club, and not how good he is as a player Love his attitude, love his workrate, but we'll never be more than a run of the mill Championship club until we get better players Neg away guys, but Liam is a cheap option, that's why he's stayed here so long, he just doesn't possess the quality that will help sustain a promotion challenge How many assists has he got in those 250 games, 4, 5? 1 Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

Guest Bulgaria Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Personally I think he does as little as he possiblity can. The amount of times, especially this last 2 seasons I've seen him just jogging back when the other team is attacking. He is a defender right? Can anyone remember seeing him make a crunching tackle or a defensive header? Nothing personal, I just don't think he is championship material.

Nine. That's an assist every 28 games, so he might get you one or two a season. For context, Fox averages an assist every 17 games for us; Pudil averaged one every 13; and Hunt one every 12.

Probably sums it up for me, though I’d add that he is a lot more comfortable on the ball these days, whichever flank he is on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Duran Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 A player I wish would improved a lot more.. like the guy / Wednesday thru and thru / does generally try very hard but has limitations which are well documented and would say he is league 1 standard - albeit would be very good there.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After doing this, I suddenly thought maybe I was doing Palmer a disservice, as he's obviously been at the club for a long time and since a very young age, so I decided to check how his assists looked if judged over the last five seasons alone. He's got 4 in 137 games, averaging an assist every 34 matches. Sorry Liam, I was trying to help you out! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultan_Pepper Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 He's quicker and stronger than most other full backs in this division and his defensive positioning to cover for his centre backs is excellent. Easily good enough for a top 6 championship side, just the usual boo boys think he should be cafu 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
