Butterfield hopeful of play-off surge

February 6 2007

Danny Butterfield insists Crystal Palace can still make the play-offs.

Palace extended their unbeaten run to eight matches after a 2-0 home win against Ipswich on Saturday.

It moved the Eagles up to 12th in the Championship and 10 points off the top six places.

And Butterfield, who returned at right-back aafter a recent injury lay-off, reckons Palace can do it.

"We need to keep this run of form going, and, if we do that, we will not be far off the play-offs,” said Butterfield.

"Maintaining this good period will drag the clubs above us nearer to us."
