I just never have any confidence he’ll do anything when the ball comes to him. He’s great in every aspect that doesn’t involve touching a football.

Ha ha, sounds so harsh like that but absolutely true.

Actually think Allen has been pretty effective in the 10 for a change, keeps dropping off & finding space & Birmingham really don't know who should pick him up which creates space for others. If only he had a little more creativity.

Yeah, he plays a bit safe a lot of the time when he should be looking to slip a striker in. Perhaps a game where Palmer might be more effective given the space

Story of our life - getting so fucking boring to be honest. I know I’m negative as fuck tonight I’m just fed up of the same old song

Cheer up and order a

I'd like to see Palmer and Walker for Allen and Godden around 60 mins if still 0-0

 

[Finham]

I don't disagree that he's a 10-15 goal a season striker.

It will of course be nearer to 10 playing this role. I bet he's spent more time on hold up play in training than usual and less on shooting! Not a role he's suited for but nobody else is so if we get a result it's OK.

Dabo needs to get a bit more width in his game here and we will beat these.

 

[Frankly_Mr_Shankly]

Game is crying out for O'Hare or Tavares.

Yeh, get them on

Mines been fine today

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Good to see players willing to take the shot on anyway but need better interplay between the attacking players.

Yeah he's playing well but no overlap. It's not like he's forgot how to play wing back tho so may be an instruction from robins

I just feel if we’re on top then Palmers ability on the ball outweighs Allen’s off ball ability.

Palmer scores five times as many in the same amount of Championship minutes, is a threat at set pieces, and can unlock a defence. I get he’s a luxury when we’re chasing the ball, but when we look like we can consistently have the ball in their third Id play Palmer every time.

Ref gave a corner (incorrectly) then fucking shit himself and reversed it

I'd say Robins doesn't "trust" Palmer yet whereas he very much does Allen. Will Palmer ever be a Robins "favourite"? It seems unlikely tbh.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Gyo penalised for what exactly?

 

[procdoc]

How’s that a free kick?

Odd choice to give him a million pounds this year then

 

[Tommo1993]

Ref bottled it

Well considering what Finham is saying is pure speculation I wouldn’t say it was an odd choice. Robins wouldn’t have signed him otherwise

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Oggy can’t remember Gunnar’s throw against Newcastle

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Bollox is that a corner

 

[Philosorapter]

We're definitely on top, but do we have enough to win this?

 

[covcity4life]

Great save by Wilson that will annoy some posters lol

Wafer thin defending again

Burge made great saves… doesn’t mean he’s a great goalkeeper. Don’t be a martyr - Wilson making saves won’t annoy anyone

 

[mark82]

Did well Ben Wilson with that.

 

[steve101]

Wilson's handling was excellent then. Any spill and it would be a tap in

Why do you think he always picks Allen ahead of him?

 

[Frostie]

How is Deeney not off for that? Guess ref didn't even see it??
