Lanterne Rouge Posted April 27, 2021 Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 1-0 Brentford after 36. I was hoping Rotherham would win to heap more pressure on WRDC but I fear it`s not to be. Mind you, it would be even funnier if they went down to Wednesday on the last day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warwickshire Red Posted April 27, 2021 Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 Sunderland losing to Blackpool. Down to 4th too currently though should still make playoffs. Form not so good though. Natives won’t be happy if stays like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would of been nice if he was given a chance. Signed Palmer straight after as well . Personally think he’s a decent player & who knows may have flourished playing in the 4231 Nige seems to prefer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wednesday on 39 points, are the bigger threat to Wayne's World, as long as they beat Forest in their penultimate game at home. Derby have 43 and face a difficult trip to Swansea before El Crapico on May 8. Both teams have a -21 goal difference. Tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory he looked more than useful in pre-season, then LJ made some comment about how he hadn't really wanted to sign him yet and he wasn't ready, then Palmer arrived and he barely got a look-in.

He was shunted to one side it seemed like and when he did play occasionally the game just seemed to pass him by. It`s a strange one for sure.

Curr Avon Posted April 27, 2021 Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 If Brentford win tonight and against Watford this Saturday they'll guarantee third place. That will probably see Frank rest several first-teamers for our clash on the final day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted April 27, 2021 Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 I’ve watched a few of Rotherham’s recent games and they are very unlucky to have not picked up any points. They’re giving it full effort every match but the schedule is just absolutely brutal for them. Damn shame, just needed a little bit more and they’d have put Derby down. Let’s still hope.

He’s very quick, many of his goals come from running onto through passes like Vardy, was the same when he was at Colchester. I think he and Palmer could have been a great combination. Be he scores against us next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never had enough opportunities to get upto speed and was deemed not good enough by LJ. He was one that got away imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richyy66 Posted April 27, 2021 Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 He was great against Bristol Manor Farm in the pre seson friendly just after he signed - Apart from that cant remember him doing much in league games - Still bound to score against us next season :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a prime example of our scattergun approach to transfers. Who would have chosen Szmodics, from Colchester , over a young Chelsea prospect that was Palmer ? He still hasn’t had a season in the Championship so maybe the club got it right? Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
