Danny Butterfield

Recent signing Danny Butterfield feels that both he and Palace have under-performed in the last two friendly games.

Following Palace's 3-0 win over Barnet, they slumped to a 2-0 defeat to Bournemouth and scraped a 2-1 win over Carshalton.

He told the official site: "I have been disappointed so far with my performance which I think is basically down to fitness at this stage but these games are all about working towards the start of the season.

"We should have played a lot better in our last two matches and would have liked to scored more goals but at least we did have the chances through the match.

"We have a lot of pre-season games to come and will look to improve each game both as a team and personally from my own point of view."
