Would not surprise me one bit if we make an attempt to get him back to save us from disaster

Yes…yes….yes….

His experience, love of Palace and boy, we need something special to help us through to the end of the season

I have been watching him for the few games he came on and he seems to have changed his game an awful lot , he doesn't seem to want to take on defenders like he used to with us and shoot or just lose the ball , he is getting alot more crosses in , i dont know if its down to his lack of turning speed or under orders or tactics, but a proper crossing winger.

He hadn't taken on defenders for us for a few years either.

Well I am sure Parish would be up for it as he does like the return of people well past their sell by date.

But no. He has hardly been pulling up trees in Turkey and now looks well short of pace and confidence.

Some on here do love clutching at straws

He took em on alright just didnt get past em most of the time , personally id rather spend the money on Jack Clarke from Sundreland .

NO, to be honest, I think we had his best years.

There is little doubt, despite his waning powers, we have missed him.

We are presently a one-person team relying vitally on Olise. Without him, injured or transferred, we are a 'busted flush' as we have nobody else capable of making and scoring goals.

The manager, as is his want, has no 'Plan B' to compensate for the absence of Olise and I am beginning to have grave doubts we can survive this season without him.

So, if he would return I say welcome him back to provide the missing 'Plan B'

In the last decade the evolution of modern day football has passed us by as a club and also fan base! Teams like Brighton, Bournemouth and even Brentford have understood that this is a money driven, no loyalty (player or club) business that needs to work on player turnover and balance sheet strength (and the right manager to apply these principles).

Parish and us fans are still living in the Terry V, Stevie C era when players seemed part of the community and Jim Cannon longevity was a given.

That said Wilf offered hope and talent we again crave today but clearly he is not the answer! The next manager will be interesting as it will signal if we able and willing to take a stride forward! If the club still harbors back to the days of Wright and Bright’s exploits then it will be Southgate for sure!

At £3m plus £75K wages I'd jump at this as a short term solution to our fight against relegation. Would give us time to find a creative midfielder which is the heart of our current problems.
Things are becoming desperate!
