Taylor lashes Palace flops

Crystal Palace boss Peter Taylor laid into his players after a 1-1 home draw with Hull City made it one win in ten games for the Eagles.
Taylor's position has been called into question with Palace lodged in the bottom half of the Championship table and the former England Under-21s coach had few excuses for his side's latest poor show.
He said: "The first half was totally unacceptable. We looked tired and people didn't want to try and get on the ball.
"We are a team playing with no confidence and we looked frightened.
"The players are under pressure, but everyone's under pressure and we had to work hard to get a result.
"I'd love to be top of the table and winning but we don't deserve that. We've only got ten points.
"We've got to fight hard together, but we need results, it's as simple as that."
