Find the faux outrage and criticism of both Rogers & Palmer baffling to be quite honest.

We’ve got much much bigger and deeper problems than either of those two being in the XI.

We have got bigger problems and Palmer & Rogers are still two of the first names on the teamsheet.

But we do need more from them. All very well being best mates and having a laugh when things are going well but we cannot afford for them to BOTH go missing which they have done a few times this season. Every top side has KEY players who they need to perform more often than not and we definitely need a bit more consistency from both of them.

And if they're playing well and doing their stuff, it relieves the pressure on our very iffy defence.

I’m by no means excusing them but I’d say from CP’s POV, his best games always seem to be when he has a striker to play off, yes it was Jackson for that Poch season. Speaking to some Villa mates, Rogers was the same with Watkins to play off. I think we saw that early season when JP was fit these two excelled.

The recent ‘downturn’ in form has been when we’ve played this false 9 rubbish or to a lesser extent sacrificed more attacking and intelligent options (Estevao) to shoehorn ‘work rate’ into the side (Neto) who doesn’t gel as well with these two.

I don’t know, outside of Caicedo, Josh & Penders, for me both Palmer & Rogers are the next in line to abstain from criticising.

I agree with this. I can find no rational argument for playing players out of position when we have players fit and available specifically for these roles. If our number one striker is out, we go to number two, and then number three, then into the academy or shadow squad if necessary. Even if they are deemed not good enough to be first choice, if they are here and they are available they should be playing their positions. If not they need to be replaced.
