Now made 6 successive starts It's not rocket science is it? 'Deano' left him out (and others) in preference to 2 totally unfit players in Lansbury and Williams v Cardiff. Barking mad when you think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That there is still room for improvement surely gives us grounds for sensible optimism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly, Palmer seemed to come back from the Swansea loan spell with a much more positive approach and even before Pearson joined he was showing a lot more, and in a team that at that time was devoid of confidence and with players apparently unable to perform even the basics successfully. Playing in a position that gets the best out of him, with players around him now starting to perform properly and , it seems, a manager prepared to back him, , will hopefully produce more consistency in his, and the teams’, performance. That there is still room for improvement surely gives us grounds for sensible optimism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His far better movement and work rate actually made him behind Fam work. Not something I expect to see next season, as Fam will likely leave. In this system i would like to see Bakinson as an option to come on for Palmer or start instead of him if unavailable in that advanced role. If Walsh can prove himself and sign a new deal, then him and Williams possibly in the 2. Massengo could also come in deep or as the attacking midfielder at times. Vyner would a very good option too who of course could play right back or at times cenre back. People say we need to bring in a lot of players. Well like I said a week or so back, once players are fit we have a bloody good squad. Defence is my main concern and will need strengthening in the summer. I am very interested to see how these returning players do under Pearson. I thought Watkins looked very sharp coming on yesterday. These players have a chance to earn themselves a new deal. They have the opportunity to make it hard for Nigel not to want them to be with us next season. I agree, we don't need too many coming in - maybe 3 or 4 in key areas (full backs being vital) and we need to let a few go. A couple of quality additions with a fully fit squad would see us have good strength in depth and able to make a realistic push for the top 6.
