Cort: We won't throw in towel

Leon Cort insists Crystal Palace won't give up hope of making the play-offs.

The Eagles are 11 points adrift of the top six after Tuesday night's 1-0 win at struggling Southend.

Manager Peter Taylor reckons his side need to win nine of the remaining 13 matches to get there.

And defender Cort, 27, won't rule it out unless it's mathematically impossible.

He said: "It's going to be very difficult now – we have a mountain to climb. I thought we could have nicked a draw against Birmingham on Saturday as that would have been a fair result, but it wasn't to be.

"We just have to keep on going until it's mathematically impossible and try and get as many points on the board.

"We need to hope teams above us crumble a bit and get a bit nervous."
