He will have blisters on his ass from sitting on the benchMust still have blisters......
Just can’t get any rhythm going (and at his other clubs), which he partly has to take responsibility for.Yet another big wage signing not playing.
I thought he was the best city player on the pitch against Norwich. The Robins takes him off at half time. Didn't look injured so strange decision and has not played since.Just can’t get any rhythm going (and at his other clubs), which he partly has to take responsibility for.

Jesus wept. It’s not been a walk in the park but people seem to be looking for reasons to be fucking miserable.
Yes Palmer has previous but Robins has already said he isn’t ready for two games in a week and with all the postponements it’s obviously been hard to get him closer to consistent match fitness. MR probably initially preferred to keep him fresh for Saturday but based on the second half performance, he may now want to keep things unchanged. We’ll see. Fat wages or not, Palmer’s regular introduction will be when MR sees fit.
Agreed, although I'd hardly describe him as a luxury player.It’s pretty stupid to make your one signing - who turned Cardiff down as he wanted to keep his high salary at Bristol - someone who isn’t capable of playing two games a week. You can’t whine about small squads and then blow your available budget on a luxury player

He could have come on for Godden at the start and at least done something !Agreed, although I'd hardly describe him as a luxury player.
I think he was brought in to provide cover for O'hare, but no one expected O'hare to get injured pre season.
But there's no excuse for him not being fit enough by now.
He could of come on for the last 20 minutes last night for Godden and helped the midfield out.
He's clearly got heaps of ability.
Just don't think he suits playing the AM role on his own, I think he was brought in to play in the box alongside O'Hare where I think he'd be very effective.
Genuinely interested to know what you base that on? I must admit I knew little about him and why he didn't play much for previous clubs. Your suggesting there is a stamina issue or is it a susceptibility to injury?He has no energy levels over a sustained period
We needed cover for O’Hare and with zero investment, we couldn’t look for a player commanding a fee. And being cover for O’Hare, was he ever going to be number one choice every game? O’Hare’s injury has meant we have to get Palmer match fit during a time when we’ve not been playing consistently.
Wages? Rightly or wrongly Waghorn isn’t playing much but when he does, he has made a decent contribution. The heat people piled on him has mostly disappeared.
Palmer has shown enough in the minutes he’s played that if the coaching staff can get him match sharp, he’ll contribute.
Again on a tight budget Waghorn was a gamble that failed - If palamer was a deputy for O hare signing him on a high wage when we need gaps to cover is really stupid - we were trying to sell O Hare so clearly yes he was supposed to be first choice
Him and O'Hare together behind Vic might work out to be an unintended stroke of genius.
I'd like to think so but possibly cover as many on here have alluded toSurely that was always the plan?

No we were trying to sell O Hare
Or a replacement for Shipley?!Id hoped he was a replacement for Allen, but sadly it seems he can’t get in ahead of him.

I thought Waghorn looked good in the number 10 role when he started a few weeks ago, surprised he got droppedAgain on a tight budget Waghorn was a gamble that failed - If palamer was a deputy for O hare signing him on a high wage when we need gaps to cover is really stupid - we were trying to sell O Hare so clearly yes he was supposed to be first choice
Not until we couldn’t sell HamerNo we were trying to sell O Hare
I'm hoping all along that the plan was to play Palmer and O'hare behind one striker, it's what we were screaming out for last season. Perhaps he isn't 100% suited to being that lone AMC.
I always assumed that's why we got palmer , to play with cal
Which would mean it was also to play on striker
