Guest Posted March 5, 2011 NoAlthough I don''t rate him, the smattering of boos when his name was read out at the start (and again when he came on) was disgraceful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ncfcfan 0 Posted March 5, 2011 Not a chance, it''s embarrassing seeing him upfront for a team going for promotion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Razzmatazz 0 Posted March 5, 2011 Guarantee he''ll pop up with a priceless goal or two. Your right the boo''s were a joke, as were the ones at full time. Those guilty of it should hang their heads in shame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drazen Muzinic 1,445 Posted March 5, 2011 He should score before the end of the season but his value is surely more in the hold up play and winning stuff in the air. Holty is trying to do it all up front and coming too deep at times to get the ball - Wilbraham made a difference again when he came on today and we started to win the aerial battle. Definately an acquired taste but not a prolific goalscorer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Norfolk Mustard 94 Posted March 5, 2011 I''m not inspired by Wilbraham - not met anyone who is...Doubt he''ll score at all this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chunky Norwich 0 Posted March 5, 2011 No. Even Chris Brown will score more goals than him at Carrow Road this season which says it all.It''s just not happening for him and he''s starting to snatch at things now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haaallo Naaail 0 Posted March 5, 2011 No. I know it could be argued that his game isn''t about scoring, but rather about winning headers, holding the ball up and just being a general nuisance, but I think it''s a waste having a forward on the pitch who doesn''t even look like scoring. At least Mr Cureton got himself in to good positions... even if he didn''t always have his finishing boots on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rupethebear 0 Posted March 6, 2011 He wins the ball, holds it up and whilst he wears a Norwich shirt he deserves our support.Think about it, all this negative stuff is really a pop at Lambert as he signed him. No manager in history, in any league in the world will make perfect signing, its a gamble. Tell you what look who he has signed and what they have done for us!

O.T.B.C 0 Posted March 6, 2011 I did see on the FLS that he headed the ball out of the keepers right hand, which is legal and then proceeded to get booked. That would have been a good way to win it.He was brought in for backup for Holt, he wears the clubs colours and I will always support him. He may not have a lot of attributes, but he does hold up well, but a lot of our players are not used to that style of play here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pete 319 Posted March 6, 2011 AW should play on Tuesday, Wes too deep to assist Grant up top, only won anything in the air when he came on. Was never going to be prolific our only option up front with Chris Martin injured. Or would you prefer Simeon? AW will score more than SJ in the run in or will certainly score as many.

Salopian 1 Posted March 6, 2011 I have considerable doubts.The longer it goes on, the more likely it is that he will snatch at the ball and miss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canaryfan68 0 Posted March 6, 2011 Wilbraham was brought as a foil for Holt or a replacement when required. The problem now is we need a goal scorer not an extra, QPR bring on Miller who scores the winner and we have Wilbraham the wheeliebin.Why are we trying to use a League 1 strike force to get to the Promised Land - Priceless Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SwindonCanary 455 Posted March 6, 2011 I believe he is two goals short of 100 league goals. he will get there this season ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanaryOne 0 Posted March 6, 2011 Unless Holt is injured or suspended i would not have Wilbraham anywhere near the pitch , Simeon Jackson at least has time and potential on his time and has been known to put a chance away , Wilbraham was a donkey in league 1 and using him as one of our main strikers is frankly laughable.

BroadstairsR 0 Posted March 6, 2011 So Wilbraham is good at "holding up." So is Jordan''s bra and at least she scores a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Slob 0 Posted March 6, 2011 Don''t know why everyone hates him so much. He was decent at leeds, better than Holt in fact, set up the goal to beat Milwall, and won some good headers again yesterday, including the one that set Holt away, only to be denied by a good tackle. He''s not a goalscorer, but wasn''t brought in to score us goals to get us promoted. Booing him is pathetic, every match he''s given 100% it''s hardly his fault that lambert signed him.

......and Smith must score. 1,343 Posted March 6, 2011 He''s looked a bit better in recent appearances but is never going to be more than a '' stop gap '' at this level.He''s bound to get a lucky break/ deflection or whatever one day soon. If I could find anyone offering odds on him scoring at least one before the end of the season I would think it was easy money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Block E Buh 0 Posted March 6, 2011 He is indeed 2 goals short of 100 career goals, maybe the goals in the playoff final? ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I gave fans a rare glimpse of exotic panache and many more talking points than Wilbraham. And I kept the bloke who printed the numbers on the match day shirts busy too.

Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,023 Posted March 7, 2011 Yes. I think he is a tidy player, who holds the ball up well, if he pops up with a priceless goal or two maybe the idiots will get off his back..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
a1canary 0 Posted March 9, 2011 Perhaps we should do a poll to ask if Tierney and Zak will score this season!?They''re the only ones of the regular 1st XI who haven''t yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
