Popular Post Fordy62 Posted September 26, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 Must say I’m a little disappointed more of it hasn’t been made on here. I, like I imagine many others on here, had absolutely no idea he had slotted it away. Such a difficult skill from that angle. He is much slated on these pages, but he was brought on to do a job yesterday and he did it perfectly. 28 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 Yes great execution and right place right time. Did you see Weimann run past him when both were trying to get back to defend late in the game, that’s what he needs to add to his game, maybe not Weimannesque as that lad is a machine, but Palmer can and must work harder to nail down a place. If Nige can get that out of him he has a future…we shall see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyderInACan Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 I’d also go as far as to say what a great attitude he has shown too - reported in the week that he specifically asked NP if he could play in the U23s game (presumably he wasn’t scheduled too) v. Posh where he played a full 90. Maybe without that he wouldn’t have even made the bench yesterday and/or been considered as an option to come on. Either way. Fair play to him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swanker Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 Just watched the goal on YouTube as I was sat at the other end of the ground. Must say it was a really good finish from a very tight angle. Good turn and shot from Martin as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
054123 Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 I like the way Nige praised him on Radio Bristol but also said there are other aspects they will talk about as well. What I like is the way that Nigel is managing the team to get a positive response. Wells and Palmer appear to be responding in a good way. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrongagain Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 One moment of brilliance, great but he needs to wake up! Had his chance with the u23’s and was a passenger, watching him pre match in the warm ups, he a messer and if anything disruptive. Have to agree there is a player in there somewhere but he still has a long way to go to earn a starting place. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn’t at full throttle, I’ll admit that, but he wasn’t a passenger either…he just wasn’t as good as he ought to have been. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTFABM Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 Just now, Super said: Was he not offside? He was. Exactly the reason i don’t want VAR in the championship. Went mental when i realised it went in and would of had the biggest comedown after 5 minutes of not knowing whats going on only for the ref to point for offside.

GrahamC Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 19 minutes ago, Super said: Was he not offside? Yes, he was. But they got away with a blatant red card, so should have played half the game with 10 men. As Nige rightly pointed out afterwards if Silva wants to winge about one, he can’t ignore the other. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NcnsBcfc Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 I think the linesman was probably admiring the save from Martin by Fulham's excellent keeper. As others have said he seemed to forget all about the 3 City players offside. Great finish from KP though. He's lethal from 2 yards out. Just like his debut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 Typical Kasey. Moments of absolute brilliance mixed with strolling about like he's playing football with his mates on a Caribbean beach. If Pearson can make him into a 90 minute player he will truly be a miracle worker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 I commented on Twitter yesterday that after watching several times I cannot work out :- 1. How he got so much power from basically an outstretched leg poke 2. How it got passed the keeper who was basically touching Kasey There was literally no angle for that ball to end up in the roof of the net - bizarre !!

There was someone sat behind me yesterday (an idiot, they said at one stage we should bring HNM on) repeatedly slagging him off. I genuinely don’t know what they expect, again yesterday he won loads of headers, directing them (like the sitter that Wells missed) into the path of team mates. We know he lacks pace but he battles away up top & his fitness has been a revelation for someone who is 33 soon & missed the second half of last season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massengo was anonymous all game wasn't he?! My criticism of Martin wasn't running or heading it was with his feet. Every touch with his feet seemed misdirected and careless. Can't ignore that, surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfcredandwhite Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 (edited) Not arguing - plenty of people have said he was offside including the pundits on Quest last night, but didn’t their keeper play him back on from the original save? I thought that if the ball came off an opposition player then you were no longer offside? Van Nistelrooy made a rather successful career from that type of goal poaching. Have the rules changed or do I simply not understand them? Edited September 26, 2021 by bcfcredandwhite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
