Freedman expects home comforts

Crystal Palace manager Dougie Freedman has urged his players to continue their fine home form against relegation rivals Derby tomorrow.

Freedman said: "Our form since the turn of the year isn't relegation style. Our home performances have been good in big games against teams around us."

Meanwhile, the board issued a statement on last week's crowd trouble at Loftus Road. It said: "The CCTV crowd footage is being examined.
An 11-year-old Palace supporter was hit on the back of the head by one of the bottles thrown and this is unacceptable."
