| Presser on 14:25 - Jan 9 with 2219 views | PhilTWTD | Portsmouth frustrating, feel for the supporters, same for players and staff at end of a busy run and having travelled down there. Right decision? There was an area of the pitch which was to firm at the time, ref made the decision and we go back again. Happy with the total of points over Christmas with games so close together, always want even more, but the former and points total has shown a steady progression, but more to come, up to us to keep showing that. Looking forward now to focusing on the cup. Nice change, something else to think about. |  | |  |

FA Cup different for different clubs and at different stages. Palace fans will tell you it's important, non-league teams would say similar. For teams at the top of divisions, it's had to share space in the mindset because of other priorities. For me always important, disappointing to go out last year as felt we deserved more. No getting away from it, league most important but a couple of cup results can help that. |  | |  |

Best cup memories, final on my birthday, Cantona sticking a penalty in the corner, had a party that day. Great competition, great memories of it. |  | |  |

How learn from Maidstone etc? Had a mixed bag, fair to say. We've changed teams and can't apologise for that but is a bit more testing. Can only approach games with the right mindset. Had some good cup games as well, but it is one-off, no extra-time and replays, shackles can be thrown off. Can only respect the opponent, go in with the right attitude and that gives you a chance. |  | |  |

Joe Sheehan important part of the club over the last few years, culminating in promotion. I've enjoyed watching them over the last few years, they've played great stuff. Not followed it so much this year. Know the quality of person Joe is and that's why club want him to stay in another role. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Game being off changing planned line-up a little bit, although not had a settled side over Christmas anyway. Will take a balanced view of it. |  | |  |

Humphreys, always going to look at option for loan, good League One club, manager he knows. Might be another loan over the weekend. Having discussions with Elkan, one of four senior centre-halves, but form and fitness of others have meant he's not got a chance. Still a better player for working with us and will see fruits when he goes out to another club. Need to make sure we're covered. |  | |  |

Chappers staying? No formal discussions. First conversation would be me and Conor, still another week of that to run. Still a decision, not just me, others to make as well. |  | |  |

A lot of change, going into window not wanting to start from scratch again. But 21 league games left, in decent position and if areas we can improve, then we will. Not huge list of players better than we've got, those that fit into those categories, we're assessing. In terms of what we have now, not huge areas where we need to bring players in desperately. Exits are a part of that, might be another loan over the weekend if we come through Saturday well. Speaking to players who might interest us. Not going to do business for the sake of doing business, but if there are players who can improve us. Try and end up with the right balance. Striker on the list? We have two and Chuba as well, who can play that role. I believe on them but we should have scored more goals. But I believe we have players who can and will score goals, whether from wide areas or number nine. |  | |  |

Elkan will be involved, as well Barbrook. No comment on Cairney or Chelsea lad. Ended with a warm tribute to Peter Over. |  | |  |
