Zak Brunt Signs

[CamPie]

Believe Palmer may have had bit of a attitude problem in the past, if I remember reading correctly before we signed him, but ones loss is our gain, by all accounts seems very settled here, playing well & regular

I met some Burton fans in the News House on Sat prior to the game. They’d made the trip to watch the game and specifically interested in seeing Palmer (and Wootton!) and hearing opinions on him from Notts fans. They suggested he’d fallen out with managers at Burton so maybe there’s truth in what you heard. No sign of it at Notts and maybe it’s because we are playing his style of football and he’s become one of the most important cogs in the machine.

Myself and Colin featured Brunt in one of our Analysts Bar podcasts in the Summer. He's definitely got the attributes the club are looking for. Maybe looking to purchase and develop? I think he's a player that's been on Notts' radar for a little while now.

Agree that he might be one Notts are looking to purchase for a fee rather than loan.

Owners have shown that if it si the right player, they don't mind spending the £

I think we would be foolish to discard Sam. As Delroy22 says, he has had no game time this season to be judged, and it must be very difficult for him to be at the same level of match fitness or sharpness as the rest of the team. In IB we appear to have an outstanding manager and one who speaks well, and is very balanced in his comments. During his time at Meadow Lane so far, we can clearly see how our team play and the player’s individual skills have improved. I hope and believe that we will over time see Sam become a first team regular.

He did show a few glimpses of what he can do against Wrexham, but I would be amazed if he ever became a first team regular.

I hope you will be amazed Elite!

I don’t particularly rate Sam, but do think we’ve underused him this season. He’s got a definite chaos value that could well have been useful for 20/30 minutes towards the end of some of the games we’ve been chasing.

From what I’ve seen so far I don’t rate Sam either. The occasional flash of brilliance does not cover for the long spells where he does very little or gets caught out trying to do too much. However credit where due, on Saturday he caused a lot of problems for a tiring Wrexham and used the ball very well at times. The two misses were terrible but maybe understandable as he’s not had a lot of match time and his confidence is probably low right now. Playing regularly with confidence and he buries both of those without thinking about it, it’s the uncertainty in his head that caused him to miss them both imo.

He did have a good impact when he came on, considering he’s only had 14 mins b4 and Wrexham are no mugs it was quite impressive tbf.
