This time last year Tony Pulis was being feted for his remarkable rescue act at Selhurst Park, a mantle that has now passed on to Alan Pardew who, with eight wins from 12 games, has banished thoughts of relegation. Pulis initially performed a similar feat at The Hawthorns too, but returns to Palace after successive home defeats to QPR and Leicester that mean Albion are not safe yet. Paul Chronnell
