With Palace’s season getting underway with a trip to Carrow Road, the eyes of both neutral and fan should be fixed on Wilfried Zaha, particularly with his counterpart on the opposite wing Yannick Bolasie a doubt, having only returned to training on Thursday following a hamstring issue.

GETTY ideal START: Crystal Palace claimed all three points “When I found out it was a high foot I was extremely disappointed because more often than not those goals would be given”.
After a 3-0 defeat of Norwich City for the season opener, Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew says his side just had ‘quality moments.’.
Jedinak’s previous “real” game, two months ago, was 4,250 miles away – leading Australia in a World Cup qualifier against Kyrgyzstan in Bishkek.
Alan Pardew’s men kick-off their campaign at Norwich City, followed by the visit of Arsenal (August 15) and Aston Villa (August 22).
“I have had a fantastic welcome from the club since I arrived and I want to do my best to help them get the best position possible in the league”.
“But I can not see anyone paying in excess of £25m because that’s what they are going to need to get him out. It is perhaps the most hard of any Premier League side”. However, much to the disbelief of the Norwich players, it was disallowed by the referee for an outstretched leg. “I’ve got my own methods in terms of how I think the game should be played and what I try and do with players and thankfully up until now it’s worked”. As everyone knows, I am really keen on team spirit and making sure the group is all fighting for each other and really believes in each other and we pull in the one way.
Bright has applauded the summer signings, especially that of Yohan Cabaye, as key to inspiring Palace’s younger flock of stars to make that step up to Premier League football.
Redmond hauled Norwich back into the game on 69 minutes, firing a low shot into the bottom left corner from distance.
The English game was once a haven for Scottish managers – as recently as 2011, seven Premier League clubs had Scots at the helm.

“We want to get off to a good start and that means a win, however, when I first went up with Hamilton we lost the first one and then won the next seven or eight”.
