It certainly doesn't seem good. But, let's be honest, if Palace are dependant on one player to maintain a place in the megabucks, then maybe we should nt be there.
However, if you believe, as i do, Palace have several very good players in the squad, all able to do a skilful shift, then there is nothing to fear. Even with Wilf in the side Palace haven't maximised their two recent winnable games. So a change may be useful, to look at the bright side. After all Wilf does not pass like Cabaye, nor defend like Tompkins, nor Harry like Andros, nor bite like Lula. Each to their own and let Palace carry on not losing and occasionally winning.

Good post. Too many are desolate on here when we don't know the extent of the injury. If he's out, he's out and it is up to Roy to get the best of the other players to make up for the loss.

 

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

It is what it is, we cannot change the situation so NOW more than ever we need to keep together and fight for the cause. Roy must be having a nightmare right now, I believe we can the team will pull together and get the results we need. L

I seem to remember something similar in 1990.

Pardew and WBA to relegate us last game of the season saving themselves in the process. Wonder what odds?

Ah but then we drafted in ‘Thompo’ (Garry Thompson). No windows in those days.

Didn’t we lose Wilf last season for the African Nations Cup? We survived.

 

Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes)

All agreed - he will still be a big loss though.
Others may step up - one just never knows!

I think we are strong enough even without Wilf to pick up the three wins we need to stay up.

I love being a Palace fan, we dont do things easy, like to keep the fans on the edge of there seats,
look we will be ok new signings need to step up sooner rather than later and playing 2 big men up front not a bad thing, AS is alot more mobile than teke, southampton played with 2 big men upfront couple of seasons ago until they sold them,
we just have to keep it simple pass and move with 2 big men in the box it may just work

Blackburn won the premiership with two lumps up front

As someone on the BBS correctly pointed out, it's a different skill set overlapping as a full back than playing with your back to a defender as a wide midfielder. Remember, PVA was useless as a wing back. Ball played backwards every time.

I'd like us to explore players who play in these positions first. To start with I'd look at moving Townsend to the left. But this is Roy with a narrow set up and a tall centre forward who has scored lots with his head.

Get whoever are the two best crossers of the ball in right and left midfield, get Sorloth and Benteke up front together and play 4-4-2 and tell the two widemen that the only attacking they do is to pump balls into the box. It won't be pretty but it could be effective.

Good post. I think we can still put out a good first XI... it’s just we will have a shockingly bad bench.

Sørloth is likely to get a few games it seems! Since Roy likes the 2 up front, why not make it a straight swap?
