Last Match of the Season
On Wednesday we had a go at our Level 2 Coaching Certificate. With the season being pretty much over it’s prime time for getting stuck in to this and learning how to think and act as a coach…
Return To The Premier League
I still can’t believe how quick this season has flown by. During the first few weeks of the season it feels as though it will last forever especially when you’re doing pre-season work but as soon as the games start the season just seems to gather pace…
Proud To Be A Palace Fan
To say I was a bit surprised at playing in the Reserve game against Crawley last week is a bit of an understatement. We report in for training at 8.45am every day, and we came in no different on Thursday. ..

Cup Success
Last week the focus was very much on preparation for our trip to Upton Park to play against West Ham United in the Youth Cup. Monday was spent looking at the importance of keeping possession and maintaining a solid shape when trying to win the ball back. ..
