mark77 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 No, not the awful defending for the Sunderland goal when he was beat by someone who started 20 yards behind him... What about the open goal he had in the last minute?, if you pause the video he's got an open net and heads it away! Best bit of defending he's done all season. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TodwickOwl Posted May 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2022 That second goal shouldn't have even made it into the box. Lost possession up the pitch, committed players, Storey backing off and not going through him (we were in 93rd minute here) and then running in custard trying to catch up with him was all the things that went wrong. Palmer isn't the problem, he was unlucky to lose his shirt yesterday - as soon as he came on we drove up the field more. 18 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mark77 Posted May 10, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2022 The fact that Jack Hunt played 69 minutes out of 180 (over 200 mins really) is criminal... Palmer was directly responsible for the goal, he should not have been beaten to the cross, Storey had played nearly 100 minutes, was tired and was let down by NML (who himself had only been on 5 mins). 6 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post room0035 Posted May 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2022 If you want to blame someone blame the bloke NML who just came on and could not be arsed to track back, instead he left it to the defence. Palmer has been mr consistent all season, a central midfielder converted to a right back, then made to play left back then this season centre back he is more consistent in 3 positions than some of the team are in 1. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post @owlstalk Posted May 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 10, 2022 I'd much rather have Palmer at this football club than the fans that think it's great to slate Palmer and other players We'd be way more successful as a club 8 3 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark77 Posted May 10, 2022 Author Share Posted May 10, 2022 How does Dunkley feel? A centre back is injured, and he doesn't use the centre back on the bench? He brings on a makeshift defender who constantly gets beat at the far post (a key skill for a supposed full back!). 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever the pessimist Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Cross shouldn’t have come in for the goal, but I was concerned Palmer hadn’t seen their player, then he had a look so I thought he was in a decent position to be first to the ball. We all know what happened next… 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fpowl Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I like Palmer, so nothing against him but I can only assume he was brought on instead of dunkley to be mobile on the floor as they had loads of ratters uptop who were horrible to defend against but i thought we was going to be picking up or defending more set pieces as the game went along and to replace hutch dunkley was our best option on the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he gets found out when it really matters (against decent opposition). Pretty sure he was a disaster in the 5-0 game back in December. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Just now, SiJ said: Quite. NML didn't bother tracking. Yep, Mendez-Laing just let Clarke have a free run off the back of him, which was outrageous. Storey did what he could but should never have had to go out to the flank in the first place. Palmer switched off and let Roberts beat him to a ball he had no right reaching, given the headstart Palmer had on him. A terrible goal to concede at any time, but to concede it at that point in a game of such magnitude was simply ridiculous. Couple that with the abomination of a goal Hutchinson gave away in the first leg, and it's not hard to see where we need to improve for next season. If I were Moore, I'd be asking for a specialist defensive coach a.s.a.p. It could be the most important signing he makes for this club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 A few Liam Palmer facts Liam Palmer is our longest serving player Palmer began his career with Sheffield Wednesday when he was just seven years old. Aside from a loan spell at Tranmere Rovers, he has spent his whole career with the Owls, being used in various defensive or midfield roles and making over 250 appearances for the club. Palmer represents Scotland at international level. He played for the under-19s and under-21s and made his senior debut in March 2019. Having progressed through the academy, Palmer appeared three times as an unused substitute throughout the 2009–10 season. Following this, he signed his first-year professional contract He was also awarded the club's Academy Player of the Year Palmer made his debut for Wednesday on 10 August 2010 in the League Cup first round match with Bury, which ended in a 1–0 win at Hillsborough He has scored goals for the club, made assists for other players, scored penalties in penalty shoot outs and has done so much for our community off the pitch too. He went out on loan to Tranmere Rovers to get some experience under his belt and established himself there in the starting lineup and on his return said: "Reserve team football can be very useful but going out on loan means you can get first team games under your belt. Obviously from my experience, that's the best thing to do and I would advise any young player to do the same because it stands you in good stead. At first I was a bit sceptical of going out on loan and it can be daunting but you've just got to roll with the punches. That's what I did and it has paid off so far" Liam has played in any position that has been asked of him whether that be right back, left back, wing back, centre half or central midfield. Liam Palmer grew up supporting Sheffield Wednesday, the team where he eventually started his career Palmer also set up his own football academy called Palmer School of Excellence, based in Worksop. The aim is to boys and girls of all ages and abilities the opportunity to play football and develop their social skills. Liam has also played in most of the wins this season 6 3 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
