Manager Ian Holloway says that Crystal Palace have to bounce back from their 4-0 loss to Birmingham City this evening.

Ian Holloway has said that Crystal Palace must bounce back from their 4-0 defeat to Birmingham City earlier this evening.

The club, which has been chasing an automatic promotion place in the Championship, is without a win in three matches.

The Palace manager told Sky Sports News: "No-one was expecting that, I certainly wasn't. Unfortunately I have got to deal with it right now. I think we started the game brightly, got behind them a couple of times.

"I can't remember my team missing as many balls flying across the box or making as many wrong decisions as they did out there and they've gone and scored four. That is the last thing we need but we've got to get on with it.

"We have to bounce back and deal with things better. It is simple as that."

Crystal Palace are now three points outside the top two in the Championship table, having played one game more than second-placed Hull City.
