Mark Hudson is backing Crystal Palace's young guns to come of age.

With Palace's chances of making the play-offs virtually over, boss Peter Taylor has fielded a few of the club's young stars.

Recent signing from Dartford Dave Martin, 21, plus 19-year-old Academy duo Lewis Grabban and Lewwis Spence have been given their debuts.

And defender Hudson reckons the kids can help bring success for the Eagles after tasting first-team action.

He said: "Dave Martin did really well when he came on against Luton. He ran at players,which got the crowd off their feet.

"With Lewis Grabban and Lewwis Spence also making their debuts recently, the future looks bright."

Taylor has been impressed with Grabban's displays."He's young, he's quick and he's done well when he's come on," said the Eagles manager.

"He's new to Championship level and he's probably not ready for a start yet, but at the minute he's a good sub and he's learning well."
