Two goals from Conner Wickham for Palace and goals from
NDoye and Borini meant events at the Stadium of Light ended 2 – 2. Two goals in
six minutes from Conner Wickham put Palace 2 – 1 up before Borini’s equaliser.
The point lifts Sunderland out of the bottom three and means
Palace pick up their first point in ten matches. It is with some relief that
Sunderland lift themselves out of the bottom three. As for Palace their bad
form continues winless since playing Stoke on the 19th December
dropping to 14th place in that time.
Palace’s next match is against Liverpool while Sunderland
face Southampton at St Mary’s Indeed Conner Wickham the ex- Sunderland player
has found some form and this can be seen as a positive for Pardew going forward
to the FA Cup quarter final against Reading. Pardew needs to drive this Palace
team forward if they want to secure premier league status and the extra TV
money that comes with it.
Yet in reality football is a global product and
relegation would be a nightmare given the fact that Palace’s history is
littered with failures heroic and otherwise and means relegation would be a
disastrous result. Yet alternatively should Palace secure six more points and
survival, the FA Cup could make the season a memorable one.
