Crystal Palace will get results with Roy Hodgson as boss 'sooner rather than later' says Mark Schwarzer who played under him at Fulham

Mark Schwarzer, signed by Roy Hodgson for Fulham in 2008. Part of team to finish seventh in Premier League and then reach Europa League final.

'I can see similarities in what Roy did while at Fulham to how he will go about getting Crystal Palace out of trouble. Starting from my perspective as the goalkeeper, he asked for distribution to be varied.

At Palace, as at Fulham, there will be times when it is more difficult to play out from the back. If it is on, he wants you to play. If it is not, he doesn’t mind you knocking it long.
