Crystal Palace fans will be frustrated that their side wasn’t able to beat a bottom place Norwich in the Premier League this week. The game was rescued when Connor Wickham equalised in the 85th minute.
But despite dropping points, fans were thrilled with the short performance of Brandon Pierrick. The midfielder impressed despite only coming on in the 83rd minute. In that time he made two key passes and became the second-youngest player to ever pull on a Crystal Palace shirt in the Premier League (Crystal Palace). Supporters praised his influence on the game and insisted that he should get more game time.
Roy knows what he’s doing. This is only the beginning – Welcome to the party Brandon.

Very impressive! He needs more game time. He might be young, but he looks ready.
It would be nice to see Woods, Daly & Mitchell given some mins against Derby. They could learn a lot playing a game alongside some of the senior pros.

Would you introduce Brandon Pierrick into the starting eleven already?
Yes
No
Others went as far as saying that he should start matches. There was one fan, however, that wasn’t getting carried away. He sees the potential in the player but recognizes that he will need time.
Admin tell Roy to start him please

Bit too early to be hyping him up as the next Messi like most people but looked good in the 10 mins he had.especially liked the fact he didnt try to take on 5 defenders twice before crossing or passing

What do we think?
Pierrick has done well to impress fans on his first Premier League outing for the club. But he will have to come up with consistent performances if he wants to keep the faith of the Crystal Palace fans.
