Palmer is a decent enough squad player for the Championship. Can't really include Bates played one game which we won. The real question has to be why did we even bring him here?. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZicoSterland2 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Murphy was poor until January but found some form from then. Did look quality at times but could vanish in games. Newcastle reportedly want a fee for him so we will be looking elsewhere not sure if thats good or bad for us in the long term as I was never totally convinced by him.

And a Wednesday fan. We need a bit of that. He’s one of our own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plonk Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 If only we had a decent keeper and a good defensive midfielder, I think we would concede a lot less. Then you don’t have to worry about needing to score three or four goals every game. If only we had had those two players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buxtongent Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Why do we always have to pick out Palmer? he may not be the perfect full-back we long for, but don't forget that for at least half of last season he was playing out of position (Left Back instead of Right) and doing a fair job of it. He will never be International class, and if a better replacement came up at the right price, I would be the first to say yes. Until then, there are others who need replacing.

Going forward and pressing we were pretty good ( particularly after the break) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Night-Owl Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) Murphy for me at times was one of a few stand outs for us last season. Along with Iorfa; Bannan, Fox and Fletcher. It would be disappointing to have only a couple of those stand out players next season. I hope we can somehow get Murphy back on loan if possible but on the other hand, I'd like to see more of Luongo and to see more athleticism; pace, solidity, ball players and battlers in the team. The likes of Murphy, Luongo and Iorfa, showed what we lacked in the team ever since Wembley, and we need a bit more of those types of athletic dynamic players. Murphy suited us as did at times Harris and Windass. If we can get some more athletic dynamic young players in like Dele-Bashiru and mix it up a bit with some solid battlers and versatile dynamic attackers, replace Fletcher and finally get a midfield beast. We'd potentially be a more balanced side. It would be disappointing to not get Murphy back but if we can't we could still get someone similar or younger in on loan or out of contract. I think the most important thing going forward is getting players in to fit how we want to play and having a good blend of youth; experience, solidity, pace and goals in the squad. It will take time but hopefully we'll be more forward thinking and more effective as a team, and build something sensibly and progressively, on and off the pitch.

Shetland Owl Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Still think Murphy will come back to us, it took him time to settle then was very good the second half of the season. He seems to get on well with Monk which is a big plus. Cannot see the -12 points to be a problem, If he is only here for a year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I really liked Murphy, but if we are playing three at the back, there isn’t a role for him He isn’t a wingback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His positioning is terrible defensively, although to be fair to him, he does track back. Most of his good work was done further forward, or when he was introduced from the bench He is excellent when at one on one, so play to his strengths, use him as a winger who can track back Edited August 13, 2020 by gurujuan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
