Burley bats away crisis talk

Manager George Burley has brushed aside claims that Crystal Palace are in crisis, insisting they will enjoy an upturn in fortunes soon. The Eagles fell to their sixth defeat in 11 games this term against south London rivals Millwall on Saturday. and are currently languishing in 23rd in the npower Championship. But, despite their disappointing start to the season, Burley remains confident Palace will move up the table if they keep playing the way they have recently. "There is no crisis," he told the Croydon Guardian. "We have a fight on our hands and it is something we have got to live with and take on board. It's not a case where we are getting run off our feet and getting outplayed. "It's going to be a season where we have to keep going and we have to keep our heads up. We are not playing badly but the end product has to be better. "We need our key players fit and we need to eliminate individual mistakes for goals and I am sure it will turn. If we keep playing the manner we are I am sure there won't be any problem as far as the bottom three."
