Crystal Palace are enjoying a good run of form at the moment. The Eagles enjoyed back-to-back victories recently, but they’re set to face a tough run of games (WhoScored.com).
Now Palace get to enjoy a slightly ‘easier’ run of games in December. The fans were also treated to some additional good news when Brandon Pierrick signed a professional contract with the club. Pierrick signed with the team this week on his 18th birthday. Fans were thrilled with the news and called for him to make an appearance from the bench in the club’s game against Brighton on Monday.
Been waiting for this let’s see what he can do against Brighton coming off the bench.

Should Brandon Pierrick feature against Brighton?
Yes
Not yet
Others suggested that a cup game against Derby would be a better platform for him to mark his debut. One supporter even called him the new Wilfried Zaha.
Get him involved then at least against Derby if not before then.

What do we think?
It is clear that the fans already have high expectations for Pierrick. At just 18 years of age, however, there is still plenty of time before the young player reaches his full potential and it might be best just to keep those expectations at a reasonable level for the time being.
