Julian Speroni

Julian Speroni is backing Crystal Palace to reverse their slump in form.

The Eagles have lost their last three matches and have slipped out of the race for the second automatic promotion spot.

If they continue their wretched run, which has seen them concede 10 goals in the last four fixtures, they are in danger of falling out of the play-off places.

Goalkeeper Speroni says the players are fully aware of the situation and are determined to get their season back on track.

"Of course, when you are losing games it's not a happy time," he said. "But the thing is how you react to these things. It is not just about the way you lose, it's about the way you react to losing.

"We cannot do anything about what has happened, what we need to be doing is looking forward and concentrating on the next game.

"We do look around and see what other teams are doing, that's normal, every player does that. But we shouldn't be worrying too much about that as those are things we cannot control.

"We have to worry about the things we can control which is what we do in our game and then, hopefully, all the other results go our way."
