Butterfield keen to keep it tight

Palace have scored just twice in their last five home league games following Tuesday night's goalless draw against Sheffield Wednesday, and host Blackpool on Saturday having not found the net in the first half of their last 19 matches. Butterfield said: "If you are not scoring goals, the emphasis is on keeping clean sheets to get yourself points but I think the emphasis is on that anyway. "The boys are starting games now from mentally keeping clean sheets and that's what is going to get us points. "Among those 19 games we have been winning games. It would be nice as a back four to look on and think we have scored in the first half and have something to hang onto. "Who is to say we won't go out there on Saturday and score three in the first 20 minutes, which we could have done against Sheffield Wednesday if we had taken those chances?".
