Sheff Wed: Owls fans criticise Liam Palmer performance
A number of Sheffield Wednesday supporters have criticised Liam Palmer’s performance in the Owls’ 1-0 defeat to Morecambe on Saturday.
Will Sheffield Wednesday earn promotion?
Yes, of course!
No, not good enough!
Darren Moore’s side had made a superb start to the season going into the weekend action, picking up ten points from four games and topping League One.
Wednesday also hadn’t even conceded a goal, with the early signs suggesting a promotion push is on the cards.
The Owls were the overriding favourites to win away to newly-promoted Morecambe on Saturday, but things didn’t pan out that way.
Dennis Adeniran’s own goal proved to be the difference between the two sides, with the visitors unable to break down their opponents, despite their dominance.
Palmer may have been an excellent servant for Wednesday, but he didn’t have a great day at the office in a central defensive role, managing no tackles, no blocks and just one interception.
