Think people are reading too much into his behsviour patterns i know he cares, he genuinely cares about our club, regardless of whether he wants to leave or not. its just normally you see the junp & the fist pumping wilth a wilf grin...he defo didnt practice that celebration in front of the mirror before the game

I thought he played really well today, was a threat every time he got the ball. He also seemed to control his anger much better than usual today, completely ignoring the crowd and players after the incident with Bardsley in the second half.

Wilf is moving through the gears now and he will get better.. you can see his mind is in a good place and if he carries on like this we will get an offer we cannot refuse... When Wilf is on the left and you get the ball to him quickly he can isolate the full back and it’s game over for the opposition.

Thats the reason for the upturn in form.

Exactly! As good as he’s been for us over the years I just want shot of him now. The nonsense in the last 6 months has been embarrassing, even more so when you consider the huge amount he is paid by the club and the fact they have bent over backwards for him since he returned to the club. Get as much as we possibly can for him and move on, without his petulant tantrums, disruptive influence and all the nonsense that surrounds him EVERY flippin transfer window.

Watching two of the players who were supposedly on our radar as replacements - Saint-Maxim and Sarr - you would have to say they still have a way to go to reach Wilf's level. I do still wish we had signed Saint-Maxim as he is a typical Palace winger: quick, tricky and entertaining. Pepe at Arsenal has also struggled to take off. Sarr scored a good goal but he looked similar to Bentenke in his rather laid back approach plus he's only managed two starts this season. All those people saying they just want rid, be careful what you wish for as it is going to require some real skill in the market to replace him. He definitely needs to stay until the summer as it would be madness to sell him in January, especially given Townsend is struggling with an ongoing injury problem too.

Newcastle signed him for £16.5 Mill. Certainly direct,real acceleration, gets his team up the pitch and has a sprinkle of the unexpected.

Wilf, even when not turning up, is still a significant focal point of our attacking play and we struggle as it is. I would not begrudge him a good move, especially if we get good cash for him, but it is less the replacement of a single player, a winger in this instance, and more the need to address the way we get into, and score in, the final third. Wilf would need to be replaced with a new attacking strategy and not another winger. We may need several players for that. Just my opinion. COYP Edited by Nicholas91 (02 Dec 2019 8.54am)

COYP Edited by Nicholas91 (02 Dec 2019 8.54am) Hodgson has said himself that his prime objective is to stave off relegation.His strategy has worked thus far and is likely to work this season. I cannot see him abandoning his tried and trusted strategy and resorting to a new formula so I suspect a like-for-like replacement is the more likely outcome.A new manager would be required to change the way we play.
