is confident of turning Crystal Palace's fortunes around - but admits things may get worse before they get better.

The ex-England boss saw his return to management spoiled by Southampton on Saturday lunchtime as the Eagles' miserable start to the season continued.

The 1-0 defeat - courtesy of Steven Davis' early strike - saw Palace become the first team in top-flight history to lose their opening five games without scoring a goal.
