Dann: Palace fear no-one in season run-in

Crystal Palace have got a tough season run-in on paper – but captain Scott Dann insists his side fear no-one.

Dann has found himself out of the starting XI of late as Sam Allardyce’s side have strung together three wins in a row to climb out of the relegation zone.

But they will face all of the top six in their remaining ten games of the top flight season in what could prove a very tough run-in.

Allardyce has never before managed a team to relegation, and Dann insists that record is going to continue this year.

“People say we have a tough run-in, and yes on paper it is, but every game in this league is tough, with different pressures in different games,” he said.

“Having the last three results we have had in the last three games gives us confidence to go and play against those so-called bigger teams and get a result.

“And I think if we keep performing as we have been doing, there is no reason why we can’t beat one of those teams.

“For the last few games I haven’t played too many minutes and I need to be ready for when you back in.

“I want to keep myself fit – I missed the game at Stoke and since then we have been doing well and won three games on the bounce, and kept three clean sheets as well.

“When the team is doing well, you don’t have to change so, I am a team player and I want us to keep winning – if we keep winning I will be happy.”
