McCarthy keen to put things right

Crystal Palace captain Paddy McCarthy is determined to right the wrongs of their previous outing when they travel to Reading on Saturday. McCarthy was forced off through illness as the Eagles went down 3-0 at Scunthorpe a fortnight ago. "We let ourselves down," admitted the Irish centre-half. "All the lads are really looking forward to Reading and putting things right. It hurt us as individuals and as a team. I know the gaffer felt let down."
