When Danny Röhl joined Sheffield Wednesday, Liam Palmer faced challenges. Despite being the reigning Player of the Season, he hadn’t seen any Championship action under the new manager. Röhl saw Palmer solely as a right back, limiting his playing time. However, as the season progressed and Sheffield Wednesday narrowly avoided relegation, Palmer regained his place in the starting lineup and showcased versatility by playing in various positions.

Röhl emphasized the importance of a strong core for the team’s future, acknowledging the need for a balance between experienced and new players, though he noted that building this core would be a task for the upcoming summer. He expressed gratitude towards Palmer, praising his dedication and hard work despite initial disappointment. Palmer’s commitment and improvement were evident, earning him praise as an outstanding player.

Röhl commended the overall progress of the team since his arrival, noting improvements both on and off the field. Palmer’s milestone appearance in the win against Sunderland, where he scored, marked his 435th game for the club, placing him eighth on the all-time appearance list. Palmer aims to climb further up the list in the next season.
