James Garner

Hope he gets a run out... 35 man squad!

Would be a good utility player in a world cup squad, gives the manager options elsewhere.

Fella spoke to him at the start like he was talking to his 6 year old son

[Audrey Horne]

Well done Garner!

[Sir Stealth]

Well done Garner!

Imagine he scores for England and rocks the ‘who me?!’ Celebration from the HD scoreboard!

I do like this and I get the the impression he's a pretty understated guy so maybe that's just how he is, but often it feels like the media training they all get squeezes the life out of so many players when they have to talk in front of a camera.

Forget carefully choosing your words and go nuts dude, you just got an England call up

LITTLE JIM!

Easily our player of the season, well well deserved.

[MPLS Toffee]

Can't see him going to the WC but he deserves the call-up. He's been better than Alex Scott from Bournemouth this season. Anderson and Wharton are better but the former has struggled this season under 15 different managers.

I think he is better than Wharton. Wharton is a bit overrated in my book.

Garner has improved greatly, but I think Wharton is way better, with a high ceiling to improve even further.

“Don’t stop…..believing……” <cheesy guitars>

Well in Jimmy.

I think he is better than Wharton. Wharton is a bit overrated in my book.

I think a large part of it is consistency. It's hard to compare players at times as you see the difference a stable-ish team with a decent manager can make as I'd say on average Garner has been more consistent than either Wharton or Anderson over this last season, but you'd have to say a big part of that is the fact that Palace and Forest have been dumpster fires of late and more mistakes have crept into both of their games.

I would say to Garner's credit though is that aside from consistency he is also showing he has more strings to his bow than perhaps he often gets credit for. He's scored some great goals and things like his assist to Barry made for one of the better goals we'll likely score this season.

"He's fallen in the water!"

[Gary1878]

This guy was utterly superb today. He’s got a swagger to his game and has seemed to find more time on the ball. I suppose that’s the confidence of an England call up for you.

Every time he received the ball today he tried to position himself to look forward. It’s a big improvement in his game when he is in possession and that’s how the assist was created. He has a wonderful eye for a pass and I am really looking forward to seeing him score and assist for us in the coming years.

Turning into the main man in the centre of the park isn't he. Has had a great season, improved massively.

Seems to have developed an Odegaard-esque obsession with his hair flick but it's fine as he's going the business.
