Fitz Hall

Fitz Hall is undergoing intensive training to improve his finishing skills - so he can win the bet he has with team mate Darren Ward.

The Crystal Palace centre-backs have a wager on who will finish the season with the most goals.

And Hall is currently trailing by five goals having only notched one goal so far this season earning him abuse from his colleagues.

Hall said: "It is not just up to the strikers to score goals. Darren Ward has scored six this season and I have scored one, so I am

disappointed.

"We have a little bet going on, so I am not too happy. It is only a friendly one but I still don't want to lose it. It is good to have that competition.

"Some of he other boys have been giving me jip about it. I will just have to get my shooting boots on. It is something I am working on."

He added: "I am happy with my performances this season but that doesn't matter. All that I care about is three points instead of draws.
