Hull City ace opens up on his struggles under Tim Walter and why it's different now
Kasey Palmer admits life at Hull City has been challenging since his move from Coventry City on deadline day back in August, but hopes the future will be brighter.
Palmer admits he's struggled to settle at the club under former manager Tim Walter, citing the heavy training schedule and the lack of minutes as one of the key reasons, meaning he struggled to see his three young children who are not based in East Yorkshire.
Walter has since departed having lost his job last Wednesday in the aftermath of the 2-0 home defeat to Sheffield Wednesday, their second MKM Stadium loss to the Owls this season, and Palmer hopes things will improve going forward under caretaker boss Andy Dawson, and then whoever the new manager turns out to be.

"I'd say for me, it's been a difficult two or three months since I signed, coming in, not knowing what to expect with the gaffer not working in England before, so it was quite difficult. The style of play was different; I wasn't playing in that position, and I've been used to playing over the years," Palmer told Hull Live.
"We didn't have a lot of days off which was quite hard with having three kids, not being able to see my kids for a couple of weeks at a time. It was a difficult change, but that's football and that was his way of doing things. That's how he operated. It was quite difficult, and I think a lot of players will have different opinions on that, and that's just, that's life isn't it?
"You might have a boss that works in a certain way and you've got to deal with it for the time you've got to deal with it, you can't turn away from it because that's just how it's going to work.
"You have to knuckle down and get through every day how it comes, but it was a difficult time. Now, with Daws (Andy Dawson), I'd expect it to be a bit more of what I'm used to playing in the number 10 position, and so I look forward to that."
