Think this is a view with the benefit of hindsight. A lot of our fans on here didn’t even want to offer him a new contract 6 months ago because they thought he was a risk.
Isn't it a bit odd that we didn't look at a replacement last summer? Considering they likely knew there was a good chance he'd be off, and that would have given a replacement longer to slot in and get up to speed.
It only makes sense if he is CoH's replacement. Wright is very expensive and good on the left. Saka is clearly top man on the right. Rotating three of these makes little sense to me. He must be in the first team, but so must Wright and Saka.
There has been so much evidence so far that Wright is half the player as a central striker than if he is on the left. Anyway surely Simms for Striker?Or Wright plays as a ST like he has most of his career. I do think people need to get out of the idea of a first and second team, the minutes played this season suggest anything but. This is our most played team (with some liberties taken on positions):
Wilson
MvE Thomas Latibeaudiere Dasilva
Eccles Sheaf
Simms Sakamoto Wright
Godden
Half that team you’d call second string.

I’d guess we’d line up first game of next season

No there hasn't. Wright's been fine in the centre but we have no real attacking options in the left.There has been so much evidence so far that Wright is half the player as a central striker than if he is on the left. Anyway surely Simms for Striker?

Which one,the one where he gave the ball but then appeared to to take a return intended for for someone else?Palmer on the left?
Wright is a strange one. Plays his best games on the left then cutting in. Plays some great crosses in from the left. When he plays through the middle there seems to be something missing. Lack of composure in the middle? Needs to bulk up a little to play in the middle?
Look at our last game. Player to the left of him unmarked. He went for the shot that went well over. Maybe we will have to wait until next season to see the best of him. But there is certainly a very good player in him.
Expendable ?Palmer on the left?

Not convinced Palmer will be here.I’d guess we’d line up first game of next season

Palmer was given a three year deal when we signed him, Robins likes him I see no reason why he wouldn't be hereNot convinced Palmer will be here.
He’s recently changed agent, so expecting him to be off. Especially as I’d like to think he’d only be a squad player after next summer’s recruitment.Palmer was given a three year deal when we signed him, Robins likes him I see no reason why he wouldn't be here

What do you mean by expendable? Not taking a guess here.Expendable ?
He's under contract so would expect a fee for him if he leaves.He’s recently changed agent, so expecting him to be off. Especially as I’d like to think he’d only be a squad player after next summer’s recruitment.
The only problem I have with Saka, albeit a tiny one, is he gets knocked off the ball easy at times, after a year with us I would guess they would be feeding him steak or something to strengthen him a little more. If and when O'Hare goes he will be a big miss because of his energy and link up play although he does look more angry when he's playing so hopefully he is just wound up to play and not angry at the fans....be gutted to lose him on a free thoughIt only makes sense if he is CoH's replacement.

I suspect not many would change their mind if the were offered 3 times their salary elsewhere. Which is quite likely.A lot can happen between now and the beginning of next season - think about it - could change Callum’s mind
Does he like him or is all we have? I caught the highlights of Millwall last year and twice he rampaged up the centre to lay off to Vik. Where has that player gone? He is more disciplined now, but less dynamic.Palmer was given a three year deal when we signed him, Robins likes him I see no reason why he wouldn't be here

The problem we seem to have is both Wright and Palmer have had their best games on the left running at the defenders. Great when one is out or when fresh legs are needed but not best when you want both on at the same time.Saka EMC Wright
Simms
But as has been said, it's a squad game. Wright and Sakamoto are undoubtedly our first choice on the left/right now yet they've only started there together something like twice since the new year. Palmer has played loads of minutes despite not being first choice in any position.
He’s probably worth keeping until the end of his contract but I wouldn’t renew it and I’m sure he’ll have asked his agent to try and get him a move next summer.Does he like him or is all we have?

If you are thinking Automatics then Palmer is OK as a squad player - and finding squad players to bring in is quite difficult, so having one already is not bad
EMC isn't a 10, was signed to play on the wing, if Callum goes, which he most likely will we will be in the market for a 10, Palmer will be in the same boat as Godden is this season, the squad will improve around him and will phase out, he will still be here though I reckon
