Tough on Wickham, tough on the causes of Wickham.
It's good to keep an opened mind, but not so open that your brains fall out. |

I'm a fan of Wickham, but he is not there yet, and maybe watching ben-tekkers in training every day will improve him to a point, where he can genuinely challenge for a place on the pitch. That is of course if he can stay injury free long enough

Edit.
Well I think Simon's head is large; always involved in espionage. (Name that tune) |

He's got the potential, but he needs to pay attention to the wider range of craft and movement that Benteke has and improve his game.

I really like Wickham, but it's really great to see a striker playing for us capable of scoring Premier League goals out of nothing. Benteke is simply a class above. He's not even had a pre season!

Wickham needs to get more of that strikers instinct about him. Benteke makes runs and generally does his work in the top third of hte pitch. When you see the average position of players, Benteke is always the furthest forward, as he should be, Wickham can be 3rd or 4th furthest forward at times. I like Wickhma, think he offers a lot but needs to be in the box more rather than out wide and putting in crosses.

Look at the crackers he's scored in front of goal.
