eastonboy Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 Are you serious?? Apart from elliason, was the only creative outlet and looked constantly to play the ball forwards instead of 5 yards sideways or backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tit... Palmer was probably our best outfield player today (low bar I admit), not his fault all those in front of him showing no movement. Add in to that balls into Fammy were just bouncing 6 feet off him all the time and I, for one, felt sorry Palmer who was trying to make something happen.

SuperRed Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 When the players in front of him stand in a straight line horizontally across the pitch and do no move what do you expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC Grim Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 The only player along with Elliasson to try and get the ball forward. The rest scared shitless so pass side and back or a hopeless punt forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 He was our best player. Considering; he started on the left, no one wanted to past forward to him and when he got the ball no ****** is making a move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prinny Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 Thought he was ok today. Couple of good turns and balls forward. Couple of times where he lost it in bad positions. Couple of times where he didn't make runs forward and just stood there seeking the ball. And lots of turning with the ball, and seeing absolutely nothing happening in front of him 6/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigTone Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 Palmer on his day can open up any defence, however unless you have players on a similar wavelength and with some kind of movement then it will never happen. Hence the reason he worked well with Benik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you took 2 seconds to look at what options he actually had ahead of him you might understand why sometimes he held the ball or gave it simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 Must be a wind up thought he was our second best player today. Probably give him 7/10 with Eliasson same but shades it with the assist. Only one to get on the ball turn and go forward centrally today. Tried to link with Fam but Fam was off today. Keeper made 1(2?) great save to deny his volley(did KP win the header from the corner that was saved?). Was nice to see him play and had a good performance considering he hasn’t even been involved for about 3 weeks minimum. Keep KP get rid of LJ bring in a striker with movement and that starting XI is maybe our best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His work rate was not so great, but that seems to apply to the whole team at the moment though. And I know LJ expects him to track back more, but that is not really his game.

Been saying this all season, except when Benik was playing... still believe the reason he isn’t playing is because the coaching staff know our current forward line will offer him nothing ...

Does he come across as lazy ..... sometimes yes if I'm honest. Can he change a game in a minute ..... absolutely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of his pie crust Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 Still our single biggest issue... movement off the ball and the second pass...it’s a case of making a pass to feet and no one moves around them in anticipation of a quick pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunc Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 He gets caught on the ball and knocked off it too easily at times, but he’s a massive talent if in the right team and system. It’s been done to death but with a striker making intelligent runs like Benik his vision and passing ability are a massive asset. Fam’s been a great servant to this club but he’s so static when we’re in possession. Get in a striker who plays off the shoulder and watch KP feed them consistently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and Eliasson the only two showing any sort of creativity. Palmer probably shit scared of trying to do too much wrong through getting called out publicly again.
