Bloody hope not! Gayle better start today. Yes, he'll do well competing in the air with Crouchy Why would crouch and gayle be competing for the same ball?! We have to start gayle. He's better than Jerome anyway so he must start now Jerome can't play. Be so annoyed if he doesn't. Pulis wants goals so the option really isn't to play 2 goals in 50 games wilbraham. It happens more often than you might think ...it was more a comparison of height though - giraffe v koala bear!!!
We struggle for goals with Jerome up front so Wilbraham won't make a difference

I could imagine him playing from the start in this one. Then switched for Gayle with half an hour to go. This is going to be a battle and Wilbs is good at those. Draw the sting of the opposition, keep it tight, let them get tired then bring on the speedy lad.

Well, because the Croydon Guardian said this: Pulis has reinstated the likes of Aaron Wilbraham and Steven Dobbie, neither of whom made Palace's original 25-man Premier League list, to his squad in an attempt to bolster numbers. The former may start with Cameron Jerome ineligible against his parent club. And it kind of makes sense. If Wilbs really has no future role surely he would have been moved on. Or do you think he is being saved for the drop to the Championship?

Right now we are so thin because of injuries and players moving on that just to make numbers we need Dobbie and Wilbs. Doesn't mean Pullis rates them, we just need warm bodies. Come end of the window I would bet my life they will not be in the squad

If TP was going to play Jerome then Wilbs would be the ideal replacement, strong, good hold up players but woeful finishers. In fact I doubt that you could find a like for like replacement anywhere else. Personally favour Gayle but I'm not the manager.

I think he's been injured for much of the season to date and has been under the surgeon's knife which is why he hasn't been loaned out

I could be totally wrong but I don't believe that's the way Pulis thinks. He has shown he likes to stick with players he knows and would rather move current players around (ward to cm) than bring in unknown elements, I think it's far more likely to see guadioura or bannan in the hole with ward again in CM.

I have to agree about the play offs, should've done alot better with the chances he had. Why would we start someone with such a poor scoring record. I'd be happier with 4-5-1 making sure Guediora and Bannan are on the picth as these seem the most likely to try and find the back of the net.

the single fact were thinking about starting the man who looked liked he was trying to not win the play off final worries me. gayle is 5 times the player he will ever be So you reckon in the instant he latched onto the ball to get a shot away for Almunia to save, he thought....'I don't really want to score this goal, win this game, be a hero' What was Jerome thinking then when he blasted he shot against Norwich over. Since Wilbraham's best attribute is win the ball and laying it off to one of his own players Chamakh could strike it rich This... there really are some idiotic comments on here... I say some, in the last year the majority of comments are idiotic. Wilbraham is a professional with limited ability but gives everything hes got when hes out there. That comment is out of order and ridiculous.
he mustav had 5 chances fall his way...5 good chances. and i know, even from the standard i play that the choices he made when he was on the ball were the wrong choices to make when your thru on goal...maybe its a confidence thing/maybe its a quality thing. i understand the arguemnt that he trys his hardest (bless him)...but in my view thats a masked way of saying...i know hes crap im just not going slate him. you can call me an idiot all you want...ive got thick skin...but deep down we all know that if we are playing wilbs in the PL, against PL defenders then we are well and truly f***ed. anyway...is he even in the 25 man squad?

But what you said was he didnt try which is bang out of order. He was the best we had in the playoffs and he put a shift in. Doesn't deserve bollocks comments like yours.

The didn't try comment was obviously tongue in cheek...the awful comments were meant. So by your own admission he is barely championship class...so why are you so precious about people slating him? He doesn't even deserve a professional contract whilst were in the PL let alone being talked of as being near the match day squad. I'm just being honest fella...I wish others would do the same rather than sticking up for footballers who offer f*** all use but still draw a very good wage from the club.
