He did. He came on and immediately things began to open up.

Frustrating player at times, but he certainly made a difference today.

Lots of voices recently saying he needs getting rid of. Well hopefully his displays off the bench have shown his worth to the squad.

We do the same thing all the time. Any player that's not an automatic starter and people start saying get rid.

Then the same people moan we've got nobody to bring off the bench or to come in if there's a couple of injuries.

I wouldn't move him on - he's done enough for me to show he has a role to play this season.

Playing for a contract. Joking aside, he was the spark we needed. Starting to miss O'Hare.

I'm not his biggest fan but a made a difference today and think he should start against Norwich.

He can frustrate but I's always rather have him than not. He really is hugely talented and reads the game so well. When he gets those passes right he can split a defence better than any of our other players. I think his work off the ball is underestimated too, he tracks and tackles and sometimes looks possessed when he wants to win the ball back (especially against Bristol City).

He adds something different that we don't have, keep until his contract runs out. I'd rather be bringing him on with his unpredictability than anybody else we have.

Palmer does this though, has one real decent game and then continues to produce a load of wayward shots and undercooked passes. Needs to be way more consistent for him to be offered a contract imo.

Yeah not sure how one goal in a 35 min cameo makes him our only hope.

Everyone else being crap doesn't suddenly make him better.

Well thats two games now where he has come off the bench and created a goal and scored one. On this season so far KP deserves a start over Torp who yet again has made 0 impact in midfield and hides.

all those that went to Stoke and today can see that we just havnt got a good enough midfield to press and create chances with Torp and Eccles. Torp needs dropping for kp for the Norwich game

Because Rudoni went back into the holding role. It's not a straight swap, not sure if Rudoni will fare better than Torp.

I think that, until Sheaf returns, we should play Rudoni in the holding role in place of Torp and start Palmer in the more forward/creative role.

Things were certainly better today when we tried that.

He isn’t hugely talented or at 28 he wouldn’t be on the bench for a championship club with far younger players being picked ahead of him.

Have a feeling that’s what hat Robins wants. Sheaf & Rudoni at CM.

I find it strange that he's apparently on the verge of leaving yet is one of the first names called on off the bench.

If he does go we need a replacement, but I think he's shown enough that he needs to stay

I think he offers a vision and a creativity that we don’t have elsewhere in the squad currently. If he’s happy to be a difference maker from the bench/occasional starter for the season then I’m happy. As others have said, having proper depth is important

That said, I’d be very surprised if he’s here come next season if we don’t go up

At the risk of getting jumped on, Palmer is making a habit of coming on and either making or scoring goals, and he needs to stay. I don’t see the creativity he has coming from anywhere else in the midfield. He fucks up sometimes but he’s also liable to do something brilliant.

Clueless as always. How can you watch so many of our games and have zero knowledge as what is happening on the pitch?

I loved watching him walk back slowly after his goal. Just as Sinclair Armstrong had done for theirs.

A good rendition of his song when they were calling him a wanker.

I also noted he stopped his celebration and got right stuck in, when he saw them tussling.
Tbf they all did. Good to see.

I like Kasey, he's got bags of technical ability....think he's suffering a little in terms of selection to start a game so far this season because he was a Viveash recommended signing initially....no doubting that he won us an undeserved point today (well yesterday as I post this).

I dunno what his non selection is down to but agree he’s got loads of skills…strong too. I’m a fan.

See, I reckon we were just about good for the point today, which is maybe why I feel quite positive about things. In my mind we got a deserved point away from home against a good side.
The ref was fucking shit though mind.

I imagine it’s more to do with his role in the squad and his wage demands.

Not quite true. He does press alright. It’s just when his line of the press is beaten he’s got no appetite to get back and reset.

I don’t understand the desperation to “get rid” of someone- you think he’s done worse than, say, Eccles, Torp etc this season?

lots of poison in some of these posts, talking like he’s a total liability, when the facts are that he’s done ok. Anyone with a rudimentary understanding of the game can see it- but no, SBT groupthink has decided that he’s a waster, so let’s all demand he’s sacked immediately. Zero perspective, all knee jerk hyperbole.

When he came on he starting trying to thread the ball through, not lump it up field or into the channels for Simms to have a pointless chase for! Sometimes his passes don’t come off, but I’d rather we try defence splitting passes than hopefull long balls!
