I would give Wilson 6 made two very good saves.
The rest is spot on in my opinion.

Found your new boo boy thenSakatomo for the older viewers gives me Roger Van Gool vibes
Says the man who quotes my name even when I don’t post for months.
Anyway perhaps enjoy the sunshine - better use of your time and certainly ours than adding to your circa. 100,00 posts showcasing your ‘footballing expertise and balanced views’.

There's a few. Palmer, Dasilva and Sakamoto for starters.Found your new boo boy then

With Norton-Cuffy gone we need someone to blame for goals they have no responsibility for.
Whilst I agree with your main points 100 percent I don't think he's got an issue with saka.There's a few. Palmer, Dasilva and Sakamoto for starters.

Well it's only because I hate the way you unfairly pick on individual players.Another poster literally obsessed with my opinion yet it’s an opinion shared by many other people

You compared him to Van Gool lol.No I’ve no issue with him whatsoever
Third goal wasn't Wilson's fault at all, it's a lazy backpass from Thomas. What else was Ben supposed to do?Wilson - Distribution shocking, and that third goal, I mean I ask you.
Back 3 - very uncoordinated. Two goals from the pocket behind the wing back and one almighty cock up.
Wing backs - Van Ewik is a real find. Da Silva I am not sure why we wanted him so desperately; totally at fault for their first
Midfield - outnumbered mainly. Not sure why Eccles is getting such a bad crit, as I thought he fought hard for the ball and if anything it was Sheaf's lack of creativity that was the problem as it threw everything onto Palmer. Palmer seemed to feel he had to produce a trick in order to break free, but they rarely came off. It would help him if he could find a way of shooting anywhere other than straight at the goalkeeper.
Godden. Is a problem. He has such an eye for an opportunity, particularly by just hanging back. But his support play for an outnumbered midfield is minimal. He is a line leader being forced to play in a new role late in his career. Answers on a postcard to M Robins, c/o The CBS Arena
Wright. A real handful, if a little slow. With someone like him available the quick clearance is always likely to lead to something. The third goal was all down to him.
The main mitigation is that only Wilson, MacFadz, and Sheaf were automatic choices last season. 2/10 outfield players
You compared him to Van Gool lol.
Considering his taste in music, I feel quite insulted.
They clearly have to be both but Robins prefers offensive wing backs hence why Dasilva plays over Bidwell.
A short back pass aside; the biggest factor for conceding was bad decision making and poor execution of passes leading to turnovers higher up the pitch. They have fast and skillful players like Asprilla and Martins that will cause a lot of damage this season. It happened repeatedly, a slack pass further up the pitch lead to them carrying the ball at us in full flow, while we are backpedaling.
I still think Palmer needs to drop back slightly too, he’s too advanced. He needs to be the link between midfield and up front, not a third striker.
Is it possible to agree with this and yet still say that even though some of his passes are great, I can't blame our forwards and midfield for not entirely being on his wavelength.Palmer should have had 3 assists.
Some of his passes were very good
I understand your perspective Grendel and see how you get there. But it’s not 100% personal - even though I honestly see you as someone who has frequently gone over the line with singling out players for very one sided criticism.the strange thing is Danny if this argument had some credence consider this
I’ve not made any personal abuse whatsoever to Sakatomo but raised an observation from my perspective of the game
You in typical style disparage my negativity and that we all need to support the lads
Several posters have verbally abused Simms on here in a very vitriolic way - far more than I have in this instance - yet you say nothing
Very odd wouldn’t you say from my perspective?
Let’s just enjoy him
Fuck me
Great postOdd game. Don't think people are giving Watford enough credit. Great press, then rapid counters from our errors created overloads behind our WB's (as did Swansea) and centre midfield, which Eccles & Thomas struggled to contain. Unsurprisingly given inexperience.
It also highlighted where we are unbalanced. Most issues highlighted already but not sure Godden and Palmer can be in same team without Hamer connecting front and covering back; right footer at LCB will be targeted in a press. Training ground can sort out getting the back three/DM's to better pivot. Fascinated to see how Robins develops this exciting squad in next couple of months.
Been on the margaritas this afternoon shmmeee?Dasilva
one word
like Tequila
Excuse my ignorance

Da Silva haterIts not you. It’s been building all day on Twitter. You were just the straw that broke the camels back so to speak.
That's all true, but he also needs to know when to do the flashy stuff and when not to.If Palmer sorts his shooting out, he keeps that spot. If he doesn't, or O'Hare recovers, he won't, but I love watching him play.
He's so close to being a special player at this level and I thought he did plenty out of possession today vs. other games I've seen.
Not sold on this take. I remember one flash thing he tried vs. Watford that didn't come off - late 2nd half, flick over the top in to the area.That's all true, but he also needs to know when to do the flashy stuff and when not to.
Interestingly I agree with both of you even though you express different opinions. I do think there are occasions when Palmer could play the ball more simply. However I also think he is often very close to being really effective but lacks that final bit to score or create for others. Maybe that is due to his lack of stamina in the end or, more positively, that it will come with more games. I guess only time will tell. I just hope he remains fit. At the moment he is frustratingly close to being a great player at this level, but we need him to take that last step.Not sold on this take.

I think his decision making is fine he just doesn't execute things well enough once he's in position. Shots were poor, final pass not 100%.
Was in at least two positions vs. Watford where even a half decent shot would get a him a goal. Power and placement weren't right.
Feel like he's a really small improvement away from getting goals and assists. If he doesn't make that improvement, he'll get dropped eventually.

No one has said this or anything close. You sure you don't just massively fancy him and you can't process those feelings? Overcompensating?
Any particular reason you quoted it twice?I guess this is an intelligent comment.

Do people not watch Palmer come back and tackle? Just pretend it never happened cos doesn't fit their narrative?
