Can you show us the one where Hutchinson cost us the playoffs too 

 

Before the rope comes out for palmer

All at sea. 

Pushing to get a goal. Lost all composure and shape.

Palmer has done well for us this season, but he is so prone to switching off and it’s just not good enough. I’m sorry he should be busting a gut to track Roberts and making sure he gets to that ball, in my opinion. 

[Sambo89]

Like the full team switched off and were waiting for extra time.

So much wrong with it from Storey and Palmer (and to a lesser extent Luongo) but I can forgive mistakes.m and lapses in concentration 

 

NML was fresh and is lightning quick. Showed no desire to get back and inside Storey - that’s more difficult to live with.

Actually, I think if rope should go anywhere, Harlee Dean has to be high up this list. Yeah, Palmer shouldn't let Roberts have the run on him, but there is a huge gap between him and Storey with Dean five yards too high up the pitch. He's come out wide to cover the short pass when the winger first receives the ball, but then not filled into the hole once that threat has gone. Which is why centre-midfielder Loungo ends up closer to the goal than him once the cross gets delivered.

 

It just looks like a very tired back line.

Poor defending by Palmer but I’ve praised Gregory quite a few times for getting across the defender for a goal.

Its what they do.

watch the video 

 

One thing you can’t tell from photos is the absolute full speed blistering pace of the striker 

[BIG D]

I can’t watch it

 

[Kopparberg]

I think that Roberts was decent over the two games. 

[Devonstrix]

Christ, Neville and Carragher would have a field day with that on MNF. There’d be squiggly lines all over the screen

[BIG D]

Pace out wide is what we are really missing.

Dean went with Stewart and actually did a good job of blocking him off. Palmer just didn't react to Roberts run.
