“As a boy if someone told me I wouldn’t have been good enough to play for Palace, but I’d be good enough to manage them, I’d take that I was heartened by what I saw on TV in the Burnley game.

There is no doubt in my players’ minds about the importance of the game and how much it would be a good game to win.”
