Just two goals in their last four Premier League matches suggests that they are in need of some inspiration at the moment, and some of the club's fans have called for their manager to start handing minutes to Brandon Pierrick.

Did he really play for us?! No Palace fan has managed to name all of these obscure Eagles signings....

The 18-year-old has actually been on the bench for Palace's last four Premier League matches, whilst he featured against Norwich City on New Year's Day.

The club's fans are now keen to see more of the midfielder.

Pierrick, who made his first ever start for the Eagles in the FA Cup against Derby County in January, could count himself unlucky that he hasn't been given more action in recent weeks with the team struggling for results.

Saturday's win over Newcastle certainly takes some of the pressure off, but the supporters will seemingly be watching closely to see what role, if any, the youngster has to play against Brighton & Hove Albion this weekend.

Meanwhile, a number of Palace fans have been reacting to a surprise report on Alexander Sorloth.
