Trevor Francis believes Palace still have a chance to make the play-offs following their 1-0 win at Derby last night.

He said: "It's been very frustrating not scoring but when we have scored we normally don't lose.

"That was why it was a relief when we scored and it was a relief to win this game.

"Falling behind like we have has made it very difficult but you can never say it isn't a possibility.

"This has rekindled our spirits and if we had lost it would have been very difficult for us to mount a challenge.

"But now we go to Bradford on Saturday with far greater confidence."
