Tell me do you think Allen offers more?This will be an unpopular opinion going by the ratings thread tonight but….I don’t see what he’s offering this team.
Having an AM who’s apparently prepared to come off the bench and throw himself around into diving tackles is fun, but I’m yet to see him take control of a game or even open things up much for us.

It seems pretty clear to me what Palmer offers. He impacts on the play, with tackles, vision and gets into dangerous positions and I can see him scoring goals. Obviously fitness seems to be the downside.
Allen always shows great energy and fitness but very little else in my view.
I didn’t say he’s any better or worse than Allen - I don’t think either have had much impact on our fortunes so far this season tbh.
My point is that he was bought in as a very expensive like-for-like replacement for O’Hare but he doesn’t seem to do much of what O’Hare does at all. It’s a small sample size, but he doesn’t complete many passes and his finishing has been poor so far. Having a guy you can bring on midway through the second half to run around like a madman and throw themselves into sliding tackles is fun to watch, but it’s not what we’re paying him to do.
You have one part right. He already has 2 assists so is far more productive in an attacking sense.I didn’t say he’s any better or worse than Allen - I don’t think either have had much impact on our fortunes so far this season tbh.

Opinions.
some sublime passes but some very poor simple ones including their first goal

yeah, we should of brought down their bloke before he got to our halfYeah it was a poor pass. It was on the edge of their box though rather on the edge of ours.

they would of done the same to us
Can't see any headache for Robins there. Sheaf, Hamer, O'Hare and Palmer looks really strong. The other two would be squad players.A few misplaced and poor passes that led to a goal/dangerous situations but equally some fantastic touches and passes that led to a goal and penalty and some of our best moments. Good on the ball and puts himself about when not in possession. Certainly doesn’t shy away from a tackle.
Still think there is more to come and gives Robins a bit of a headache with a midfield comprising of 3 or 4 of Palmer, Hamer, O’Hare, Sheaf, Allen and Eccles.

Lazy I think is the term usedSuch a talented player and makes things happen. If we can get and keep him fit our midfield could be really strong. Love his commitment too. These comments about lack of effort and impact are just ridiculous and on a level of idiocacy with the criticisms of Sheaf and Bidwell.

Some of his passes are so good - they're almost too good in that no one else can read them!
But obviously that will improve with time playing together and I really can't wait to see him and O'Hare fully fit playing behind Gyokeres.
The people who said he was poor only ever look for negatives, doom and gloom merchants basically. Grendel needs someone new to pick on and I still have no idea what BSB was watching
That clip just shows the difference in quality between Palmer and Allen, and it wasn't the only great bit of play from Palmer. Must say though that Allen did work so hard again last night.
Unbelievable!Lazy I think is the term used
