Neil Warnock

Crystal Palace boss Neil Warnock sang the praises of his team after a brilliant display in the 2-0 win at Coventry.

Clint Hill and Ben Watson were on target in a comprehensive triumph at the Ricoh Arena which ended Palace's run of four games without a win.

"That's as good as we have played since I have been at the club - even last season when we relied on individual goals because we didn't play football like that," Warnock said.

"We kept possession, we looked a threat and I couldn't fault any department. I thought we were super.

"We're disappointed where we are in the table because it is only down to us. It's nobody else's fault. We should be way higher than this. The lads know how they got to perform and we know we can go anywhere and win if we perform like that.

"I have never seen Ben Watson play or train better like he has in the last two or three weeks. He is a Ray Wilkins type of player. We want him to make things happen and he's looking to get goals which is another string to his bow."

Coventry manager Chris Coleman added: "As good as we were on Monday at Birmingham, we have gone to the other end of the scale. If we had got anything out of that game it would have been embarrassing.

"We need to have a bunch of players who are strong enough to put back-to-back wins together otherwise we are always going to be in the bottom half. We're going to try and bring in some new faces at Christmas time which more."
