he is joint top with Wright for assists, not bad for our 2nd choice number 10 ?I think it’s pretty poor for a 10 to be honest.
Palmer doesn’t offer too much defensively so his attacking contribution is really his main reason for being in the team.
2 goals 4 assists is nowhere near enough in the league for a number 10.I just down understand the dislike

If they are against Maidstone I think there is a valid argument for them not really being considered.I don’t really buy the cup goals / assists don’t count argument. Here are the stats for the season, compared to everyone else’s, that’s a fair barometer.
Good player, good season (I think) and definitely his best for us.
It’s the clamour to get rid of him for free I don’t understand, if we were to do that we may as well wait until we have a better replacement lined up or hold until next year.
Squad player or moved on for a better replacement, it wouldn’t bother me in the slightest, some seem to think he is a poor player though
Baffles me a bit but it’s all opinions I suppose
Certainly progressed as a keeper hadn't he?Regarding a new GK. What are peoples thoughts on Ryan Allsop of Hull City? Its seems he could be looking to go elsewhere as Plymouth may be interested in taking him
Hull fans hate him and think hes absolutely shite.Certainly progressed as a keeper hadn't he?
Hull fans hate him and think hes absolutely shite.
No change there then, just like us now and then?Hull fans hate him and think hes absolutely shite.
I semi-disagree with this. It's perfectly OK to give the ball away, trying something in attack.We need to keep the ball better next year, he loses the ball a lot trying a flick or a through ball.
That being said, when it does work, it’s quality. Deffo need a player like that but not as a starter.
Contract is up at the end of the year and doubt he will be renewing so if someone comes in with an offer, he is gone.
He’s statistically the joint worst keeper in the league for shot stopping, level with Bazunu. No thanks.Regarding a new GK. What are peoples thoughts on Ryan Allsop of Hull City? Its seems he could be looking to go elsewhere as Plymouth may be interested in taking him
I don’t really understand the Palmer dislike or willingness to just rid of him.
7 assists and 4 goals this season is not a bad return.
I agree we need to strengthen in midfield and I would like to think when all fit he isn’t in the starting 11, footballs a squad game and Palmer had his best season for us, he’s a good squad player who’s had a good season, he offers something different from an average number 10, creates for others, strong and a threat from free kicks.
I suspect Palmer playing above O’Hare was Robins proving a point.

Godden because he isn’t good enough …If he has a year left on a contract that he will not renew or be offered an extension he will be allowed to leave. Him Godden, and Bidwell all will be in the same boat. And all will be gone for purely financial reasons not stats or sentiment.
I also think certain players were already told to start looking for other clubs.
I agree it’s very unfashionable but it might suit the players we currently have ….
When he joined us, I read that he had been out of the Bristol City team for some time due to a falling out with the manager and that he was on the brink of walking away from football. I would love to know what else he can do that earns that sort of money
Maybe he values job satisfaction above money?When he joined us, I read that he had been out of the Bristol City team for some time due to a falling out with the manager and that he was on the brink of walking away from football. I would love to know what else he can do that earns that sort of money
I can see why Rooney wants him at Plymouth then. He must be after another sacking payoffHe’s statistically the joint worst keeper in the league for shot stopping, level with Bazunu. No thanks.
4-4-2 won't work. We need to provide greater protection for our backline not less.
A 442 would provide the same level of protection for the backline as the 4231. Either way you're defending with two banks of 4.
Not true. The 10 engages defensive midfielders. Strikers engage the back line.
We'd end up leaving Sheaf & Eccles outnumbered and get overrun.
Out of possession it's the same, either way you have two attacking central players (AM and ST in 4231 or ST and ST in 442, you just have one of the 2 in the 442 drop a little deeper and it's the same as a 4231 out of possession then.

Torp got dragged at half time against Brum after being as effective as a blind one legged pensioner.Played 33 games before his injury, missed out on 12 due to aforementioned injury.
Torp is rubbish, according to you? Yet he changed the game when he came on against Man Utd, must be such a poor player.
Clearly doing a great job as a wum
So Simms’ Hattrick didn’t really count then either ?If they are against Maidstone I think there is a valid argument for them not really being considered.
in my mind no. difference is he backed it up by scoring a hattrick in the league the following weekSo Simms’ Hattrick didn’t really count then either ?
Simms backed it up with goals in the league and against Wolves/Man Utd. Palmer…So Simms’ Hattrick didn’t really count then either ?
Fuck sake man, you cant seriously judge anyone on the shitshow that was Brum away can you?! madness.Torp got dragged at half time against Brum after being as effective as a blind one legged pensioner.
I'd say the jury I'd very much out as far as Torp goes. Hopefully a full pre-season will see him make a big impact .
Torp looks great on the ball, but not up to speed out of it. Given he joined from an overseas league in January and hasn't had the benefit of a preseason, I am incredibly excited by his potential and improvement this coming season.Fuck sake man, you cant seriously judge anyone on the shitshow that was Brum away can you?! madness.
the players were 100% in self preservation mode at that point, dropping levels and not fully commiting to challenges because they would miss the Semi through injury or suspension
Said it a million times its not an excuse but it is the reason. Mentality needs working on but people need to stop judging players on these one off fuck ups and disregard the good parts.
Torp had an excellent cameo in the Semi and was a toenail away from going down as a Coventry legend
