Yep. Absolutely sh@t. Wonder what all the people in here defending him would say had we of lost yesterday, particularly after that blatant miss. Can’t score, can’t even stay fit for any amount of time.
Get rid and upgrade not just him but CB too.


Yup. You are quite right. A goal a season doesn't really cut it as a striker.
Move them both on once replacements have been secured.

At least Wickham was in the right place, in the centre of the goal to convert Zaha's cross.Benteke would have been hiding at the back post.

Exactly. I’ve questioned Benteke’s honesty in that respect on many occasions.

He'd be watching from afar from some place that's for sure.

Not a fan of Wickham and don't think he's anywhere near what we need. He's got a poor goalscoring record for us, looks cumbersome with a poor touch and doesn't win enough in the air for a man of his size. Also of course constantly injured.

It's nothing personal I wish him well and he seems like a nice fella. He did well for his goal (and I was pleased for him) and I am of course grateful but he is not the solution.

Comparing him to Benteke is really a lesser of two evils exercise if of any value at all.

 


Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Why do you keep posting on HOL?

You are not a Palace fan/supporter, you post long winded bollox a bout players no ones heard of, you dont have a positive thing to say about our team, our club.

Wickham MADE an impact, with his knowledge, positioning & he gambled for the goal. Kinda made a huge impact if you ask me, secured us a valuable point away from home.

OK? Just saying like.

Mattteo is clearly looking more widely in terms of "Impact" relating it to the number of goals in a succession of games.

In the context of the Norwich game, Wickham by scoring the equaliser towards the end of the game to gain a valuable point for our team , certainly made a very positive and significant impact.

Mattteo certainly provides us with a comprehensive list of players, not familiar to many on here and whilst of course some find the information useful others take a different view.He spares no effort in furnishing us with his knowledge of players who ply their trade in foreign climes.

If he could get this kind of confidence back we'd all be happy!

A bit like benteke under TP and BFS you mean.
If wilf actually crossed the ball first time occasionally and not take on the whole defence twice benteke may have scored more.
Maybe it's all about tactics.

He's played a total of 62 minutes of PL football this season and has one goal and one assist, the former earning us a point the latter helping us to three. What more can you expect from an hour's football?
