Managers comments after defeat at Palace

Last updated : 06 February 2006 By Michael Morris
Crystal Palace assistant manager Neil McDonald:

"I didn't see the sending-off incident, but Fitz (Hall) is upset in the dressing room and feels he let his team-mates down.

"Luckily, we stuck together and managed to hang on and the win was thoroughly deserved.

"It was the reaction we needed after losing 2-0 at Preston on Tuesday and it moves us three points further ahead of Cardiff."

"There were five substitutions and the sending-off took up two minutes, so how could there be only three minutes of injury time?

"We also felt that Willie Boland was fouled when he tried to block the free-kick that led to Palace's goal.

"But they got the little bit of luck today - it was a very close game and chances were at a minimum."
