I have the feeling that all towns signings this season will be complete unknowns to towns fans. Besides why would a town manager thats been he 3/4 months go back and sign ex-players from years gone by.
Sorry Palmer but we move on

No he had his time. Best teeth bottle opening I have seen though, that's how I remember him. Lets leave it at that.

This club is flipping obsessed.

Let them go. You’d be digging up Pat Glover if you had the chance.



It's not the club that is obsessed with ex players but the fans!

Palmer do well for us in the Conference days. But he hasnt exactly shone since.

Would i have him back? If he was going to be the main striker then no. I think we need better. He would only add depth to the striking options imo. A squad player and i dont think that is what we need.

I have seen a few Lincoln games the last 2 seasons through work and Palmer has been on the sidelines due to the form of Rhead but regularly comes off the bench as Rhead can't last 90 minutes.

His stats are quite good when broken down to minutes per goal and he seems to be a decent all rounder which if you are going to have a Plan A, B and C, it is certainly useful. I've seen him score some good, important goals for Lincoln. I understand he is a former player but let's take that out of the equation:

He's scored goals this season and been a squad player in a team that was 90 disastrous minutes away from a second Wembley appearance this season. We, however took our survival to the penultimate game of the season and our top scoring striker managed 6 league goals all season courtesy of a final day hat-trick.

Unfortunately we are currently at a level where players from most local rivals would be an improvement on what we have.

Generally share the skepticism over ex players, but putting that aside, and under Jolley - could be a good striker to have in the squad due to his style and how he has a lot of the vital aspects to the forward role covered.

Good age and experience level too in what could be a younger squad overall next season , and should be hungry to actually win something he has played a proper part in. Wouldn't be against it at all if Jolley was actually interested - haven't  actually seen anything to suggest that.

Who cares wether he’s played for us or not? The lad can score goals, not 20+ a season but more than Jamile Matt or Scott Vernon could muster between them.
