It's a brilliant read and made me appreciate him as a Wednesday play even more.

 

One club guy who we should be supporting much more than we do.  

 

We take him for granted because he's part of the furniture, but when it's spelt out like that it is pretty amazing he's been at one club so long, very rare in the modern game.

I've not hidden the fact I'm not a fan of Palmer as a player. As a person though and that article shows it he comes across as a top top bloke. Can only be a good thing for us that he's in the club. 

 

Hope he proves me wrong this season and has a season equal to if not better than his personality. WAWAW

Personally, I would rather him be an exceptional footballer than an exceptionally nice man.

Never rated him, he's only been first choice last season by default, because odjob didn't provide any competition for his place. Jos,Bruce, Carlos, never picked him on a regular basis, Bruce felt it neccesary to bring in 2 potential replacements in odjob and Iorfa.

Top lad Palmer, my favourite player at the club, and massively underrated by many.


Hes not under rated at all. Don’t get me wrong I have a lot of respect for the guy because he’s been here so long. Very average, and I think people have their blue and white spectacles on just because he’s been here so long.

He's been playing for us since 2010, and is still here, despite all those managerial changes, he must be doing something right?

All those managers, yet none of them moved him on?

 

Were they all wrong?

Since going on loan in 2012/13 to Tranmere where he played 46 times, this is Palmer's record.

 

2013/14 - 44 games

2014/15 - 39 games

2015/16 - 19 games

2016/17 - 23 games

2017/18 - 29 games

2018/19 - 39 games

2019/20 - 33 games

 

There has a good few managers during that time, how does he make so many appearances if he is below average?

Managers don’t ‘move players on’... Lets face it, he’s a mediocre player in what has been largely a mediocre side for the past however many years. 
 

The two seasons under carlos, the best team for the past 20 yrs, he didn’t have a sniff.

He played 19 times and 23 times, so an average of 21 games - that is hardly a sniff.
