Macaulay Langstaff  deservedly got plenty of praise last season,but it's pleasing to me to see Matty Palmer also being recognised for all his efforts.

Without doubt a key man that contributed to our promotion. Matty Palmer is an absolute baller. Class act.

Shameless replug on a brilliantly written feature regarding Matt Palmer.

This is why I have always spoken highly of Matt Palmer. He's just a quality midfielder that does all the stuff most fans take for granted. Tracking back to defend or to pick up the ball, his passing becomes a motor to move forward and into space. Palmer's partnership with John Bostock is unstoppable. While Bostock operates similarly, Palmer's strategic movements and quick decision-making skills allow him to effortlessly navigate the field, leaving other players in awe.

He's by far the best all round midfielder that Notts has had for years.

I'm hoping we can start getting a bit more out of him in terms of his finishing, but I do acknowledge that not everyone will get goals. I just think it's the only area he doesn't have confidence in or excel at, and it's natural.

Palmer will have worked harder on what he's good at and that's why he's so good; I just think seeing him score a bit more would be nice for him.

Best since the days of Don Masson.

Yes, I’ve said exactly the same thing @magpiejue

Matty Palmer's intelligent movements and passing ability make him a vital cog in the team's midfield.

[CliftonMagpie]

He’s a fantastic midfielder; very rarely does he lose the ball, and I would agree that he’s the best midfielder the club has had for years. He’s like Neal Bishop but with a lot more about himself. Bishop was a good worker, but his abilities were limited; Palmer is more all-round as a player.

Glad to see Matty Palmer getting the recognition he deserves. He's a class act and a real asset to the team.

Matty Palmer's impact on the team goes beyond statistics. He brings leadership and stability to the midfield, since arriving at the club he's been brilliant.

This speaks volumes about Matt Palmer; he doesn’t put a foot wrong most of the time, and it sometimes looks as if he glides around the pitch even when he doesn’t have the ball. While he’s got average pace, his passing and skill make it hard for other clubs to get a foothold in the game. He works tirelessly; I do agree.

[allardyces tash]

Matt Palmer is a credit to the club; he could still easily be playing in League One. I have no doubt about it. The map in the original post, I don’t doubt. He’s all over the place and rarely puts a foot wrong.

[Nocturnal-Magpie]

I think Matt Palmer is like a Duracell bunny. He just keeps going and has a great engine. You don’t play the number of games he did last season without being in peak fitness or being such an incredible performer.

Very interesting graphic. Matt Palmer seems to be one of those players who covers a lot of ground while performing at a very high standard. The way he covers so many blades of grass shows part of the quality he possesses.

It would be interesting to compare this to the end of our League Two campaign. Will it be similar or increase?

[BromPie]

No doubt Matty Palmer is one of the best midfielders Notts County has had in years. A true linchpin.

[liampie]

matt palmer is brilliant, he works every part of the pitch and puts so much more effort into his performances. the graphic shows just how important he is to our squad, he's someone we cant drop.

[Blake]

Palmer's ability to control the tempo of the game and dictate play is a key reason for Notts County's success.

[The Heff]

Matty Palmer's partnership with John Bostock is a force to be reckoned with. Their chemistry on the field is unstoppable.

[Sirrels County]

Matty Palmer's contribution to Notts County's promotion cannot be understated. His hard work and skill on the field make him a key player. He's a great player!

[thommo]

He’s the personification of excellence and consistency. If I thought of the perfect midfielder, I would take most of Matt Palmer’s characteristics and abilities, and they would form at least 70% of that player. He truly is fantastic; he’s a great player.

[SpellbindingCaskey]

It's refreshing to see Matty Palmer getting the recognition he deserves. He's been a consistent performer for Notts since first joining us.

[JackMagpie95]

Palmer's work rate and ability to track back on defence is impressive. He's a complete midfielder.

[TheSkipper]

Matty Palmer would be the first name on my team sheet. It’s hard to see Notts performing as well without him. He does all the useful bits that often go unnoticed, but he also excels in areas that people do see. His pass rate is high and he has a great work rate.

[Randall]

Agreed, Matty Palmer is a phenomenal midfielder. His contribution to the team is invaluable.
