Palmer got branded as a show pony early but his work rate has been good recently. Because of his languid style on the ball it’s reslly noticeable when he gives the ball away but I like that he’s always looking to make things happen.

The romantic in me wants to see him back but realistically his chances of making it are getting slimmer

Chapman turned 21 today... Last night he played for Boro under 23s, set up a goal and then pulled up holding his hamstring and was subbed off. Its going to get to the point where the poor lad is scared to sprint

Very very little to do One occasion early on he dropped a simple cross but gathered it again and no drama after that, kicking was decent.

I saw Davenport outside the ground at the fanzone today, he literally looks about 13!

Good Cameo and some great game management, much more promise seen there

Great win, really poor performance for the most part but we will take that Didnt happen for any of our attacking players until Big Ben won us the penalty

Yes Big Ben and Dack

Dack off for Big Ben for me (incoming Dack goal now)

Game crying out for a spark, get Palmer on for Smallwood and get Reed central

Palmer drops to the bench - super harsh after a good game last week

. The thing is though it’s said the criticism is a sign of a modern fan but I remember Ferguson, Grabbi and Davies being questioned whilst being supported in the stadium. Even Rhodes who delivered the goods. It may not be down to him but the fact is we’ve paid a good chunk of money for him and rightly there is an expectation to deliver based on that. At least the lad has time on his side and when I asked a Forest supporting mate at work he said he was brilliant and they didn’t want to lose him so there must be something there, feel tomorrow could be the day for him

Not sure on the score but sure that midfielder we were tracking will score if he plays!

Course you can people do it all the time such as delaying it whilst defending a corner for example. I doubt he would have got it ahead of Dack anyway but I would have had him on it.

What’s more odd about the Palmer sub is it was just as we got a free kick in the same position he scored a beauty in the cup. He should have been taking that for me.

Rothwell looks really dynamic and I like his drive when he gets the ball, problem is it hasn’t quite come off for him yet, does he have any goals or assists in league or cup?

Just seen a clip of the challenge on Rays, thought Travis was poor there he gets nutmegged then doesn’t react to it at all

Brill A point would have been good with 11 so it’s superb with 10 and a midfielder in goal

Mahoney with a cracker today after he’s had a run of games, finally making an impact

Sneaky feeling we’ll win this

Sounds like Palmer was one of our biggest threats seems a really odd decision As I say that REEEEEEEEDY

We have a £7m striker on the bench - get him on, or have we made a big boo boo signing him?

If we lose that’s a shocking decision, win and it’s inspired. Either way it’s brave!

I’ve missed the last two games, just back from holiday, great great win against Leeds followed by what looks like a poor result. Really surprised not to see Palmer involved in either game after being influential against Bolton, something a bit odd there wonder if it’s an attitude thing

His right hamstring - he could be done, feel for the lad.
