Well he wasn't fit for the first half of the season and still got 3 goals in the end. He's clearly the most talented player at the club ability-wise

Fuckoff is he

He’s the most technically gifted I’d think but doesn’t mean it will translate to success on the pitch.

I really don’t get what people see in Palmer. Had a couple of decent games but was decidedly average for the most part and couldn’t stay fit.

I don't think he is at all. He does a few flicks and stepovers in games but that doesn't make him the most technically gifted in the slightest

That's Hamer

Id even have Sheaf up there too, quick on the turn, his range of passing is exquisite as well when needed, first touch and close control for Sheaf has come on leaps and bounds too

I’d agree they are both up there.

I reckon a fully fit squad means Palmer and O’hare start. One up top.
If we regularly play with 2 strikers we’ll need to sign 2 more.
Click to expand...

If you are playing one striker, you really need your midfield to be in on the goals too. With those two, I can't see that they would contribute enough goals. Palmer maybe, but there are massive question marks over fitness long term.

I much prefer us with two strikers in general to be honest.

Are Kelly and Palmer the only two full internationals at the club after Vik leaves?

I totally get the arguments about his fitness and lack of game time but am amazed that you can't see he is well above most of our players in technique. Only Hamer ahead of him in terms of ability in my view.

I don't think it is any coincidence that we were our best at the end of the season with Hamer playing in that attacking midfield role. He is absolutely lethal and got end product like no else. As far as I'm concerned, that position should be his should he stay.

If we were playing with Palmer & O’hare we’d definitely need to sign another AM.

Edit: just seen your other post ie Hamer could play there.

I think our best performances were just before the World Cup, during the short spell when O'Hare was playing. That win over QPR at home was probably the best we have played this season.

It's funny how you get so angry about someone saying that one of our players is great and that there is still more to come. Very different player to Gus but he can hit just as good a dead ball

Hamer can play there but he's better in the deeper role.

I think describing Kelly as being a full international is a little generous; he played once for Scotland in 2012.

Well if they did want to play him there, we have Sheaf and Eccles to sit deep.

In that case, we can add Simon Moore to the list.

No they only play in the island games whatever that is. It's a County of England I think, or has the same standing.

29 appearances in his first season here, for a guy who hadn't had a decent run of games prior to coming here and was playing catch up regarding his fitness levels isn't bad at all.

He picked up an injury when he was becoming an important player for us, that's just unfortunate, and may have something to do with the rock hard pitches he had to train on. but with a full pre season under his belt, I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do.

Underrated striker, he's got a very respectable record for us, especially as he was asked to play second fiddle to the swede, for the last 18 months. He's missed a few games, but some of those were for appendicitis which won't happen again.
I'm glad he's still here.

I would be interested to see how he got on partnering a striker whose role was to lay on in chances for him.

The main issue is keeping him fit!

Fair. Yet to be convinced he's any more than emperor's new clothes, but hopefully next season he does.

For the run of games he had before getting injured, after getting some match fitness, he looked decent. Creative but could put a tackle in too. Still needed to be a bit more energetic and mobile though

Thing is, it took him forever to get there, still wasn't a 90 minute performance... and then he got injured straight after a couple of games where it looked like he had finally arrived!

Needs more, more often. If it was just technical ability, may as well ask Jose Perdomo back.
