Tend to agree with you. That said, I'm glad they're playing Delap ahead of Estupinan (who I think may have left to move abroad?) That Philogene from Villa looked decent last season. Hoping Hull have loads away on international duty.They’ve started strongly and have home advantage whereas we are trying to bed in a lot of new players.

OK then replace ‘almost certain’ for ‘quite probable’But you’re talking as if it’s a foregone conclusion - bit daft
Watched the defender play the pass and assuming the keeper was gonna intercept it I looked at my phone. Causing me to only see the ball roll over the line.
rIt was like a Sunday morning football match at Foleshill Park when I played in the 90s
Yup, 10s to get from here -Credit to Godden for his goal, he laid the ball off for Ayari's pass down the line just our side of the centre circle so had run 60 yards to get on the end of the pass

We were wide open aganst Sunderland (mainly in the 2nd half), and they had loads of space when they broke on us. Not something you see often in a Robins team. I guess it will take time to have everyone on board, after all, our team is 60% players bought in the last 6-7 weeks.After watching the highlights this morning, with more of a clear head than I had at the game yesterday I have to say I am disappointed about the goals that Watford scored. The first goal Tom Ince had so much time to run into the box and pick his pass despite us having about 7 defender back no-one took any responsibility. Latibeaudiere could have got tighter to the number 9 also, I thought this was a bit weak at the game also. Then their second the blonde 37 who to be fair looked a quality player was able to pick the ball up and ran half the length of the pitch and put it in the corner of the net despite having about 5 defenders around him and not one tried to make a tackle it almost reminded me of that Adrian goal in the West Ham testimonial and then the third goal we just pass it to them in the 18 yard box.

Ben Sheaf was as far forward as Palmer and he started further back than GoddenYup, 10s to get from here -

That's in the 87th min from a 32yo who's played every league minute this season. That's why Robins can't leave him out atm.
Oh and this also shows one of the limitations of Palmer. Godden's run 20y further than him to get his goal...

Robins is happy to talk about Simms and ayari workrate but too scared to say Palmer doesn't work hard?
Don't make sense does it. Maybe robins doesn't believe he is lazy?
Crazy I know.
You unsuccessfully tried to claim Palmer was slow last season. It's simply not true. Watch the number of times he outruns opponents with the ball. He seems to lack stamina but he is not slow.No one said that did they? It’s his abject lack of pace in that situation that’s just a fact surely?
It's clear from all the times he runs to make really tough tackles he is not lazy.Robins is happy to talk about Simms and ayari workrate but too scared to say Palmer doesn't work hard?

Palmer is fairly quick over a distance, there are just limits to how often he can do it.Nor was Mick Quinn over a few yards. I don’t think godden is quick over distance so I guess we will just have to have our views on it
It's not that he doesn't work hard it's that he doesn't have sufficient aerobic capacityRobins is happy to talk about Simms and ayari workrate but too scared to say Palmer doesn't work hard?

Everyone bangs on about his lack of stamina, but he lasted 88 minutes on Saturday! And he didn't look fucked when he went off.You unsuccessfully tried to claim Palmer was slow last season.

No it just seems to be that you can't. There's plenty of intelligent comments on Palmer from other posters.When he’s up against 32 year old Matty Godden and loses by a considerable distance that’s pretty telling isn’t it?
The truth is no one can even have a debate on him it’s like he’s a protected species even though many have the same view as me
You are either a closet racist or you have a suppressed sexual desire for him which manifests itself in hatred.
There is a frightening amount of bed wetters on here who won't entertain even the slightest amount of criticism about a players performance without labeling the poster a hater, or accusing a poster of writing someone off without giving them a chance.When he’s up against 32 year old Matty Godden and loses by a considerable distance that’s pretty telling isn’t it?

Amazing storyI thought the entire team looked dead after 70 mins, fitness seems to be quite an issue …
I just had 6 churros with Nutella.
I think you mean David Batty, Nora was a sweeper and would never have been in that positionI saw the run through live - palmers “sprint” would have been beaten by Nora Batty - I think Bidwell was the only other to make it in the box

Yup fabulous defending/determination.It’s the determination. Same with Fadz. Not sure if this has been posted already but amazing recovery
All the younger lads should be looking at these two examples to show them what it takes to make things happen
You think he was in a foot race with Godden?When he’s up against 32 year old Matty Godden and loses by a considerable distance that’s pretty telling isn’t it.
What would you expect an AM to be doing in that situation? The other striker is causing the ball down the wing...You think he was in a foot race with Godden?
Do you think every time we attack the role of every outfield player is to run as fast as they can to the same position in the penalty area?What would you expect an AM to be doing in that situation? The other striker is causing the ball down the wing...
