COACH CHAOS DID FOR VIEIRA

PATRICK VIEIRA’S exit as Crystal Palace boss was not helped by tension between some of his players and assistant manager osian roberts, who also left the club yesterday. the former Wales assistant was brought to selhurst Park by Vieira last summer and did not gel with all members of the

Palace squad. Vieira’s decision to sack another coach, shaun Derry, last month also appears to have backfired. Palace have not won any of their seven games since Derry left, with a number of players feeling the loss of the former club captain’s passionate and combative approach.
