YepI'm not sure why people are making out he's useless , the better word would be ill disciplined.. can be great and can be shite , does the wrong thing plenty of times in matches but does some brilliant things .
He's hot and cold but unfortunately we need more
It’s what my daughter would be getting tomorrow so this is timely newsI was in the shop last Friday and someone was having Palmer on the back of the new away shirt. Whoops theres £15 you wish you'd never spent
Yeah, it was a ridiculous decision by Robins, he managed about 15 minutes and in those 15 minutes looked miles off the pace.
I will probably be in the minority here but this actually really annoyed me. Particularly when I read that Palmer did exactly the same when he was at Huddersfield (had been injured and then made a miraculous recovery just for the play off final). Contributes very little and then wants to try and turn up for a half an hour cameo in the hope of stealing the limelight.
Apart from Bristol away of courseIndeed. Palmer is more the sort of player that shines when the team are in control and he takes the piss out of the opposition, But he's not the type of player that will get a team having a bad game out of the doldrums.
I don't think Palmer is/was fit enough. I honestly think he could do with losing 7lb. Hence always playing in fits & starts & no sustained effort. The time is right to sell.
Same.I had him in the 1st team against Norwich in place of Torp (assuming no Sheaf).
Oh well
From our POV, £750k is a good value for player who’s in the final year of his contract and a high earner.£750k seems cheap as chips but if he wants 25k p/w then I guess there is a very small market.
It’s all well and good being a top player ‘on your day’, the problem being is when those days are few in number. Those goal contribution stats do not lie and as other have said, last season was his first playing 2,000 minutes (22 games equivalent) in a season.
That's why we have a subs bench.Indeed. Palmer is more the sort of player that shines when the team are in control and he takes the piss out of the opposition, But he's not the type of player that will get a team having a bad game out of the doldrums.
That's fair, but he has the most goal contributions so far this season and so if he does go it's essential we replace him otherwise it's a backwards step.
This isn’t a jab at Palmer, just because he’s started the season well, doesn’t mean that’ll continue. Look at last season when Godden scored 6 goals in August-September, it looked like peak Godden was back… Only to score 3 goals from then. 1 league goal and 2 in the FA Cup against Oxford when the game was at 4-2.That's fair, but he has the most goal contributions so far this season and so if he does go it's essential we replace him otherwise it's a backwards step.
He's barely done it
Slightly misleading due to the fact that in previous seasons he's had players like Hamer and O'hare in the midfield ahead of him, who were more attacking midfielders.£750k is a good value for player who’s in the final year of his contract and a high earner.
I’ll frame it this way, would people be happy if we paid 750k for a Championship AM with the following stats:

Turns 28 in Nov and is on a wage that is higher than you’d expect for a player who is not first choice.

It’s nothing personal, there are just plenty of players out there who are better than Kasey Palmer.

How many of those appearances were starts for example?
This season he's been the main creative midfielder and already has good returns, all be it from a small number of games.
So second top scorer then, and above Simms and BTA in the scoring table.He’s had 1 goal contribution in recognised tournaments where stats are measured
So second top scorer then, and above Simms and BTA in the scoring table.
We’re 3 games in to the season ffs. We’ve had 2 full seasons to judge him on prior to this and he’s come up short.So second top scorer then, and above Simms and BTA in the scoring table.
Not sure but they definitely did warn usDint Bristol fans worn us about palmers inconstancy
