Joel Ward says Palace are keen to return to winning ways, starting with the trip to Brighton & Hove Albion this evening.
“It’s massive,” he said in his pre-match interview, “I think everyone knows – certainly the wider population know – about the rivalry, and the fans know. It will be a great opportunity to bounce back.
“As a whole, we need to come together more and make sure we start putting points on the board, and that’s a collective effort from everyone.”
Ward reiterated that the focus was on their own performances, rather than results elsewhere.
