what McKenna decides to do when Palmer is fit again
I know it’s not just about the change in GKs but ignoring the Charlton game we have won 2.5ppg with Walton in goal compared to 1.44ppg with Palmer which makes me think I would stick with Walton even when Palmer is fit.
What do you think? |  |

Down to the outfield players rather than the keeper. I expect Walton will stay in the side until he makes a mistake. |  | | |

Walton Is a lot lot calmer witb the ball. I think this is a massive difference between the two keepers and with our style of play its been a big contributor to our improved performances |  |

Walt's is in until injury/suspension rules him out. |  | | |

I think we saw the answer to this two years ago when Walton was injured and Hladky stepped in - I expect Walton will keep the place until he loses it
Longer term we’ll see a new keeper arrive in the Summer, especially if we get where we’re hoping to go |  |

I wouldn't agree I think Palmer is the better keeper. Walton has just benefitted from a number of players in front of him improving. Having a settled spine of Nunez, Taylor and Matusiwa gives a keeper less to do. | | | |

Yeah this. I don't think there's a lot to choose between Walton and Palmer, both good Championship keepers. Walton is doing well, bit shaky in his first couple of games but he's been good since then and he's better with his feet than Palmer. He'll keep his place unless his form drops off. Definitely need an upgrade in that position in the summer though. |  |

Walton will get another couple of matches, at least, to stake his claim before Palmer gets back from injury. His performances in those games will be key to answering your question. |  | | |

Interesting. I think they are pretty much a similar standard but I think Walton is marginally better. They’re both ok for this level.
I think leave the defence alone including the keeper, until injury or form forces a change. |  | | |

Walton's had the healthy slice of luck that you sometimes need as a keeper, can't remember which game it was when he struggled with consecutive set-pieces but went unpunished thankfully. QPR? I think he lets in one or two more than Palmer would over a string of games but he's also a little more in tune with our demands when in possession. We have two respectable keepers for the level really.
I would put the PPG difference down to how the ten + subs in front of the keeper have performed. We protect our keepers much better than the oppo do for any given game, just sometimes we're far less clinical. I don't remember West Brom having a shot in our 1-0 win and we've scored big in the other two.
Lastly, small point aha, but I wouldn't be removing the Charlton result from Walton's stats myself. Was 0-0 at HT after all and he came on early in the first half. | | | |

I'd like to see Palmer straight back. Not a big fan of Walton, but that's just my opinion.
Really, I'd like to see Hladky back, but that's a different story. |  | | |

Outfield players in my opinion are easier to swap and change. If a goalie is in good form he stays in until he makes mistakes in two or three games on the trot. | | | |

Not sure about that. Boro game aside, I don't think Palmer has been worked very hard this season. With both keepers we've conceded probably more than we should on chances created and the stats suggest the same. We've been generally getting more clinical at the other end though which is why our PPG is improving. | |
