ScottishRed Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 The signs are good, power, pace, skill, gets stuck in and has a high level of football intelligence. I think Paterson will be picking the splinters out of his bottom from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking about impressive I thought Webster (again) and O’Dowda (again) were both immense today, I hope they sort his contract out sharpish. O’Dowda still doesn’t do enough for me. Admittedly did some better stuff when he drifted inside during first half, and good travel with ball in second half, but then needs to pick the pass. He had a decent game, but can run back into the pack (not Marlon) when he’s got the option to open it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EstoniaTallinnRed Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Had a great debut, was powerful, intelligent and wasn't afraid to get stuck in, not to mention skilful. Hopefully he will improve our attacking options and get lot's of game time. Like this player a lot, good business by MA and LJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 He`s much bigger and stronger than I thought he was and very difficult to knock off the ball without fouling him - about six times they hacked him down I think. Bloody funny when he thought he hadn`t scored and then realised he actually had too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon79 Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Was a really good debut. Exactly what we needed at that moment in the game. He was keen, energetic, confident in his own ability. So much so I actually thought he could of released the ball a little earlier on a couple of occasions, but also won a lot of free kicks. Just on a slight side note, the timing of the 3 subs was probably just what the Bolton players could of done without. Because they hadn’t had a lot of the ball at that point, so therefore would of been working hard without the ball ( a lot easier if you have it! ), & the 3 subs brought bundles of energy plus more. So yes he did well, but let’s not use it as a stick to beat Patterson with! COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Eliasson. They cross when they could be shooting or winning pens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s either him though or pato going to make way for Palmer and Callum stays for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Liked what I saw from him today. As well as the goal obviously, good movement, seemed happy to take people on, as in running at them. Very good start, let's hope he builds on it as his understanding with the team grows.

Alex_BCFC Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 The only hope small hope of signing Tammy is if we go up this season - even then I doubt we could afford wages others would pay...

Agreed Bolton awful. Be interesting on his impact vs higher capability teams. Long way to go in the season but the following options open or not as the case maybe a) brilliant first half of the season followed by appalling post Xmas blues (not on the cards) B) slow start but organised yet low scoring games give fans faint hopes of play off (unlikely) C) set of mixed results lead to top 10 finish (likely) COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBobSuperBob Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Chewing over yesterday two big pluses from that afternoon Matty Taylor scoring which can only hike his confidence but probably most of all - Palmers debut Always think That first game or couple of games normally has, and perhaps understandably, a significant impact on a loanees spell Palmers certainly couldn’t have been scripted better , a warm welcome , a goal , saw lots of ball in space - you could see his confidence rise and ooze - possibly the best I’ve seen of Palmer , albeit in a very short cameo Hope he can get near to maintaining those levels, , and that start , the immediate bond with the fans gives him a real opportunity for a successful and enjoyable loan spell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the way the loan system is moving, and teams no longer being able to hold onto so many players, I can see Chelsea and others having to offload a fair amount. Would love to see Kalas and Da Silva stay...and Palmer if he did well. Just wages I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHAZ MICHAELS Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 I didn't really know too much about Kasey Palmer before yesterday but his debut was refreshing and encouraging - receive, turn and look forward. Hopefully he can continue that way. I can't see him getting a look in at Chelsea (they've just spent £50 million on an attacking midfielder) and unless they (and he) are happy for him to be continually out on loan (not dissimilar to the Kalas situation) then presumably it's only a matter of time before they look to offload him. Whether we are are in position/able to sign him if we want him remains to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gert Mare Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Getting off the mark at a new club takes pressure off of a player. It was great that Palmer scored on his debut. That will give him a lot of confidence and that in turn rubs off on the other players. Good to go 10 unbeaten too. Some big tests coming up in the next few weeks but if we can play with the shackles off then we could make up some ground on the leading pack. It’s a good time to hit a vein of form. Looking good for at least a top half finish this year. Just a few more points required to make certainty of safety and still everything to play for.
