Yep would love to see him score the winner!

Surprised by the positive sentiment towards Palmer, especially given how harsh we can be on some of our other ex-players.

For me, he's a player who lacked discipline and focus during his time here (and cost us a hell of a lot of money in doing it, though in fairness that's MA's fault).

I'm hoping that Coventry weren't expecting to get promoted and were happy to stick in a massive promo bonus into the sale.

Went on a free didn't he?

And was generally considered to be a bad egg in the dressing room. 

I'm surprised too. The guy costs us millions and genuinely didn't do bugger all for it.

Yes indeed, heard the same from someone ‘in the know’.

How did he lack discipline ?

I thought his performances lacked a real consistency, but never though a lack of effort tbh. 

When we saw genuine good movement ahead of him in Afobe for that small period he flourished. 

As you say, was an Ashton/Johnson signing that didn’t quite work out, but was plenty of them.

Palmer off.

Got any examples?

Think he was victim of being signed by a club that didn’t need him, didn’t know how to play him and gave him a 4 year deal to boot. Now doing very well with a club who actually wanted him, and knew exactly how to use him whose style suits him far better too. 
 

And I’ll say it again, boring I know, but did so much for us when helping out with food bank deliveries over lockdown. But I guess that won’t matter to a decent chunk of fans because he was on loads of money and it wasn’t plastered all over social media

Think you are wrong in saying that .

I heard that his millionaire showboating caused quite a lot of problems.

He was signed as the wrong solution to the wrong problem. He never really had a place in our squad, and wasn't ever really the tool required to fix the problem some at the club thought needed fixing.

It was a glamour signing that wasn't necessary.

“Asked by CoventryLive if he’s pleased to see Palmer playing with a smile on his face again, Pearson said after the 1-1 New Year’s Day draw: “Very much so and look, he’s a decent lad. I saw his wife and children here today and yes, it’s good for him”

 

also states in that article that he isn’t a bad egg.

As we’ve seen with Bakinson, who was still our player at the time, if the player was a bad egg Pearson would tell it as it is.

[cidercity1987]

A very typical Palmer performance, a few nice touches, expectations raised, a few wild shots. All fart. Taken off.

Palmer has always been a glamour signing for whichever club he has played for.

Pearson said after we played Coventry up there that he'd never been a problem & was a pleasure to work with,  just didn't fit in to the style we played & he was really pleased he'd found a team that played to his strengths.

It’s been done to death about him lacking effort . It’s bollocks . He was never the right player for us but he doesn’t lack effort . I think he lacks football intelligence . He should be reading games better in & out of position but he doesn’t . I said about him when he was here . He constantly looks like he’s still playing academy football .

Not sure that he was injured judging by the way it was being explained to him why he was taken off.

It was stated plenty of times he’s a decent lad . Some want to paint him as a bad egg with the . “ I heard it from someone itk “ laughable .
