Was he injured today? How bad must he be in training to not even be on bench? A lot of fans calling for him to start so to not even be on bench is bit baffling. Surely he's worth a run out? Such a lightweight, underwhelming midfield
Gomes was OK today Palmer - a player I thought was going to be a good 'un, is not good enough . We've seen a few like him over the years - talent strong but application light. He'll have the odd good game (which to be honest applies to a fair few squad members) but won't be consistent enough. Can't work out whether it's concentration or physical inability. He has the talent. He'll slip down the leagues.
You can put fault on the midfield for the first goal, but the second was the whole team refusing to take responsibility for trying to clear a ball that was rolling across the box. I don’t think we were particularly dominated in midfield as we have been most of the season, but our passing is woeful from 1-11. Ismael will probably see footage off Collins playing a short goal kick to Kitching and climax at the thought of what West Brom will do against us next week
Hondermarck must be literally not turning up for training and taking the piss or something if he can’t get into that midfield before Palmer.
I think that might be half the problem. Devaney slated him the other week - and, let’s face it, he’s never settled at a club as he. There’s a reason why he hasn’t…. The lad’s got talent, and I like him, but there has to be other issues with him as to why he’s missing out. That’s 3 managers now who haven’t fancied him fully. Nothing new in football though…..
Palmers fitness and awareness is terrible' lost count this season how many times he's had his pocket picked by just not realizing there was a player aproaching' his fitness just doesn't seem to be improving at all' his back tracking with johnson for the 1st goal was pitiful and it was 10 mins after the break..
Yet they keep picking a player that even though he hardly covers every blade of grass when he does start can't complete a full 90 minutes and starts to flag after 60
Well I have watched all his minutes on the pitch so far and I dont see what others appear to. I just see one big clumsy ******.
