Our Crystal Palace fans here in the Transfer Tavern are finally starting to believe that they are going to stay up this season and reckon Sam Allardyce could really take them places.
Of course, there is still work to be done to get away from the relegation places for good but our landlord can also see the work beginning to pay off for the Eagles.
Wins against West Brom and Middlesbrough have certainly boosted their cause recently and it appears the hours are being put in away from the pitch too with the Croydon Advertiser’s latest report in mind.
They have reported that the Eagles are scouting teenage non-league star Matty Allan who plies his trade for Histon as both a winger and striker.
The Eagles have a good record of gambling on players from non-league and giving them a chance to shine, too, and so there really is every chance Allan could be handed the opportunity of a lifetime.
Our landlord says good luck to him, then, as the Eagles aim to build for a more successful future.
Thoughts, Palace fans? Let us know below!
