Ray Lewington offers explanation for Palace's difference in home and away form

At the end to a successful season, Crystal Palace entertained fans with a remarkable 5-3 home dismantling of AFC Bournemouth.

The result was emphatically atypical for what Eagles supporters had become used to at Selhurst Park, with the south London side usually picking up a far greater number of points on the road.

The disparity between home and away form had become clear to followers of the club both on the in and out side, with Roy Hodgson often addressing it and rightly pointing out that his team had suffered several unfortunate moments in SE25 whereas they'd enjoyed a slightly better rub of the green on their travels.
