I must admit I’ve fully lost track by now of whether O’Hare is playing out of his skin for a new contract, or is playing at half speed because he’s already out the door. Seems to change every week.

Robins kicking off at the defence, we conceded 12 shots, 9 shots on target in the box. Frustrated with the defending and ‘a lot of work to do’ as reported by @Saddlebrains a week or two ago.
Talking about building a squad of more quality and numbers to compete in every competition.

So what we are saying is that the team are just playing shit and it's not all about fatigue like everybody Is latching onto
Righto

Shame his actions don't match it then.
In which case I don’t see much point in playing him over Palmer in these dead rubber games. Let Palmer play his way out of contention as far as I’m concerned.

The farewell he deserves is being dropped at Corley Services with a cardboard sign saying Premier League.

Watching Ipswich you wouldn’t believe they are a top two team. A decent side, but not in the same category as your Leeds or Southampton.
I thought we might get thumped tonight, so I was pleasantly surprised how well we did in spells, played some really nice stuff.
Eccles again, especially first half , was superb. Sheaf had an off night but I have a feeling he is nowhere near 100% fit so gets a pass. Palmer, oh dear, if he just tries to do the simple stuff, even half of the time when he gets the ball, he’d be brilliant! He’s more frustrating to watch now than Haji, who I thought had another decent game.
The squad is on its arse now, will go up on Saturday and just enjoy the day for what it is. Hopefully Daucsh gets some more game time.

Ultimately that’s just being petty at this stage. He has overall served the club well, just like Godden, Allen and Kelly.
Nobody’s lining up to sign Palmer despite his agent’s efforts, and tonight was exactly why.
We were never going to make the playoffs with this squad it’s been clear as day. On our day we can beat anyone but we haven’t the depth of quality.

Godden is the closest, Allen and Kelly have tried their best until the end like Vik and Gus did. And Godden Allen and Kelly were all surpassed by the quality of the club. They didn’t just decide to milk 18 months of wages out of us cos they couldn’t be arsed any more.

I still think we’ll be good next year but want some ambition shown to deepen the squad
True but this is actually the strongest squad we have had in many years. We have lost players at critical times to injury and suspension. The strikers took a dozen games to look good enough as well.

What does oggy see in palmer? Chuckling all the way home in the car with his praise for him. PL teams coming in for him? 
One moment of brilliance shouldn’t mask 89 minutes of mediocrity

Allen was quite productive last season and has been treated pretty poorly this year, mostly played out of position and asked to do thankless tasks.
MR has got things wrong a fair bit this season.
Totally agree for every half decent pass he makes he gives the ball away 3 times and then doesn’t track back….he’s a bit of a show pony.What does oggy see in palmer? Chuckling all the way home in the car with his praise for him. PL teams coming in for him?

What did he say re the squad
It might be the strongest squad we own but it isn’t enough to get out of this league yet. Next season we have a chance.

He scored 1 (Norwich) and got 2 assists (winning goals against Millwall and Stoke) in the 4 games he played in Feb which is after the transfer window.

You said ‘on strike’. He isn’t. And if form is justification for being dropped then Palmer should be out of the side.
Agree with everything apart from Haji having a decent game.

Palmer has conned a career. Can't last 90 mins and doesn't impact the game anything like enough. Would honestly take any offer we can get for him.What does oggy see in palmer? Chuckling all the way home in the car with his praise for him. PL teams coming in for him?

There is no doubt players have been flagging/fatigued, both physically (look at number of recent injuries) and mentally (look like at the regularity of mistakes, sloppy play etc).
I do agree though that Robins hasn’t helped himself with some of his picks, subs etc and he was also talking about tiredness a few weeks ago when players were in better shape than currently
