Palace have to learn lessons quickly – Allardyce

Crystal Palace must learn not to lose before they can start concentrating on picking up some wins according to manager Sam Allardyce.

Palace suffered their third consecutive Premier League defeat on Sunday with a 3-0 reverse at the London Stadium against West Ham United.

Their last league victory was back on December 3 at home to Southampton with Allardyce’s side on a run of seven games without a Premier League win since then.

“The capabilities of not losing are the most important thing to get out of trouble and we don’t have that,” he admitted.

“It’s the first thing that we have to put right when you come into a struggling team and try to put points on the board in every game that you can.

“At the moment we don’t know how to get that result, just a draw may lead to a few wins from there.

“I think it’s tough for us at the minute because I’m still finding out about the players that are already here, and they’re making statements to me by the fact that results still aren’t good enough, and we’ve not managed to turn that around in this short period of time which is disappointing for me.”
