Here we go!

A guy who hasn't even been in the 25, let alone played a competitive match, comes on and does exactly what was required of him by his manager and the team to help us win a crucial match and then gets slagged off by so called supporters who have to have a fall guy!

For much of the season it has been Puncheon, but he was designated 'hero' yesterday.

But Wilbraham who stepped in for Murray in the playoffs and helped secure Premiership football continues to be the butt of abuse!

For me, he is a journeyman with limitations, who never gives less than 100% and, used appropriately, makes a valuable contribution.

I literally cannot believe you posted that. Were you really at the game ? Do you understand football ?

Lazy journalists say Chamakh is lazy no doubt unaware or not caring about the irony.

Chamakh has a put a hell of a shift in every game Ive seen him and yesterday even more so. He got a bit frustrated towards the end, but he challenged for every single ball and won most them, moved play along well and created space for others and very rarely lost the ball.

The guy is class and if you cant see that, I really despair !

He is a paid Palace Player. Indeed he is.
Did a ten minute job for us yesterday. He held the ball up well, sure.
And played a leading role in getting us to The Prem. Leading, not so sure, did well as a stand in - yes.
Deserves to be in the 25. 100% disagree with you.

Truth is when Wilbraham came on there was total shock shown by everyone around me. We laughed in disbelief as he sidefooted that shot.... Would there be another Premier League team interested in buying him ? What about a championship team ? We'd never buy someone with his track record ... would we..
I cannot see it happening here for him, but I really hope one day he proves me wrong as he is a good bloke.
