Woods discusses positional change in Colchester United defeat

Although it wouldn't have been the result Sam Woods would've wanted for his first senior start as a footballer of Crystal Palace Football Club, it will still remain a special moment in his fledgling career.

Speaking to Palace TV post-the Carabao Cup exit to Colchester United, dissecting the game Woods said: "Very disappointed; the changing room was very quiet at the end. The gaffer said it’s not good enough, and it shouldn’t have even gone to penalties; we should’ve got the job done in 90 minutes.

"In the first half we didn’t move the ball quick enough; the second half was better but just didn’t create or take a chance when it came.
