Roy Hodgson will know only too well that the spirit of the Crystal Palace players needs to be lifted… and fast.
They started poorly against Southampton and that's down to a lack of confidence — they were playing too safe.
But it doesn't get any easier — it's Manchester City away this Saturday! Roy inherited this bad run, don't forget, but I imagine that he'd get some motivational stuff done this week.
When you're in a rut it's all about repetition of work.
