Even with the signing of Hennessey and the talk over a goalkeeper change-up at Palace, Pulis seems to be sticking with veteran Speroni for now, with the decision paying dividends as Palace move up the table with a win against West Brom this weekend. Pulis will be concentrating on a defence heavy, defence-first approach, as seems to be his 'style', with this disciplined focus central to his successes at Stoke. This can often favour a goalkeeper as they are less exposed, in constant communication with their defensive line (helping with staying alert themselves), and know what is expected of their role in this system. Making the most of Speroni's experience and wise head on strong shoulders, Palace should be able to continue onwards and upwards and maintain their Premiership place as other teams slide down back to the league from whence they came!
