Taylor silent over Leeds leak

February 11 2007

Peter Taylor refused to discuss claims Palace were given leaked information about the Leeds team before Saturday's match.

Leeds boss Dennis Wise revealed he told one of his players he would never play for the club again after discovering he had given Palace his starting line-up.

Asked about Wise's allegations, Taylor hardly cleared up the mystery when he said: "I don't want to comment on that. Dennis should stick to his own situation."

If Palace did know how Leeds would play, it didn't help much as they crashed to a 2-1 defeat against the Championship's bottom club.

Taylor took out his frustration on the officials with a bizarre rant about the four minutes of added time played at the end of the match.

"I cannot work that out," he said. "I know we might not score in the extra time, but four minutes.

"There's six substitutions, a couple of goals, there's peole going down left, right and centre having treatment, so for four minutes I just cannot work that out.

"We've got to start another run. I said before the game that we need to get another 30 points to have a chance of getting into sixth place and that's still the target."
