In November Ched Evans had 50% more votes than Gyokeres

Clearly an indication of ability

If Palmer is up for Player of the Month then extrapolating that should mean that Jamie Allen is up for the Ballon D'Or this year.

He scored three goals in four games from midfield, but some people still don't think he brings anything to the team.

There’s a meme here to be made by someone with far better Photoshop skills than me.

Well, that's what they've told him.

And that the ceremony is at The Hague...

Not seen anything since but Robins said in his post match interview that Palmer ''came off feeling his hamstring. Hopefully he's ok but we'll have to wait and see''. That made it sound as if it wasn't too serious.

I think the sky interview was a bit more pessimistic - something along the lines of "we are now without Kasey"

Loan Sheaf to the Boro, get Jimmy G to name him on the bench. Enter the field of play without refs permission. Get a yellow card. Terminate loan. Serve suspension and injury concurrently.

Out for the season

Finishes the year having made 19 league starts, 10 appearances as sub, and scoring three goals.

That's a big blow, he was starting to look really good.

Having all three of your AMs out injured at the same time is rotten luck to be fair.

Missing O'Hare for practically the whole season is just gutting.

About the most we could have expected really. Was a strange signing but I guess we expected O’hare to be available

You couldn't make it up could you?!

You've got to say for this season at least, he's been a poor signing. Didn't play last season, injured through pre season, took 25 games to get fit, get a handful of good performances out of him, then misses the rest of the season with injury. We need more out of limited resources than that, especially from one of our highest earners.

Considering his career so far, it was unlikely he was going to be anything better than what we got. Hopefully he’ll just be an impact player off the bench next year

Think he’s been excellent TBH. Offered something out attack misses with his passing and dribbling, decent set piece, chases down. Fitness has been the big problem and seems to be wherever he goes, but when he’s fit I think he’s top drawer.

Yeah, I'd really like to see him alongside O'hare next season.

I struggle to see where he fits in next season if we're playing the same system and O'Hare is fit. He had an opportunity to be The Guy this season, but Allen has leapfrogged him - it's been a wasted season for him, and by extension for us.

If he and O'Hare are fully fit then they are the two at the top of the box.

O'Hare's injury has meant we've had to adjust the way we play. Allen has done well and it's great to see him add goals to his game.

But if all three are fully fit then Allen is third choice (but still gets plenty of game time with rotation etc).

You're mad if you think Robins is dropping Allen.

He has before and he will again.

You're mad if you think he signed Palmer to sit him on the bench.

You keep going on about how expensive Palmer was - why would we spend that much money on him to put him on the bench behind Allen? It makes zero sense.

He’s just creating a situation to suit his argument
