Floro

Gotta agree, Palmer isn't up to it at this level, too lightweight so if he wants to make it with us then he'll need to start pumping some iron and fast, plus his defensive game isn't great either!

Regarding Floro, it's a tough one, I understand that in pre season he looked a good prospect and was tidy in possession and had good games, but I think that had he made his competitive debut in a less physical league like La Liga or the Portuguese top flight he would have coped better as that's the kind of player he is, it seems he is best suited to a more patient passing game but he was thrusted into the deep end in a very fast and far more physically demanding league so no wonder he fell to pieces, esp with the little first team experience that he had previous!

I think DJ too should be sacked, he's took us as far as he can, thanks for getting us out of L1 but I don't think he can cut it at this level anymore, his best years are behind him now I think, he'd do far better at a L1 or even L2 side given his long ball tactics and bewildering selections!!

Palmer, Floro, Spence are still very young players with time on thier side to grow & improve so i think we need to be abit patient. We keep banging on about developing young players then when they don't perform straight away we slag them to height heaven.............maybe thats why Jones keeps going out geting rubbish old boy loans in as a knee jerk reaction to the fans disapointment.

Also what happened to Llera this season i liked him as a strong CB with ability to score goals from set pieces ok he gave away a few too many free kicks away but thier strikers knew they were in a game afterwards.

One thing I've never done is slag off one of our younger players, whether or not they are ready they at least give it their all...unlike folk like Coke who bemusingly plays week in week out .

But players like McCabe whom I think is our biggest prospect should get a run in the team as if he doesn't it will affect his long term development plus we need more creativity in MF, I know McPhail does provide that but imagine if wee had both him and McCabe playing with Semedo to protect the back four!!

Totally agree and this post shouldnt be taken as a slagging of liam palmer. Hes a young kid with bags of potential but I just couldnt understand why Floro was getting such a hiding when Palmer was equally as bad last week.

In fairness, with the manager we have Id be surprised if the 2 kids were even played in the correct position!

Palmers a left back....isnt he? erm....
