Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace legend Mark Bright is backing the Eagles for play-off success.

The former striker believes Palace can win Sunday's crunch match at home to Burnley which will clinch their spot in the play-offs.

And he reckons they can go all the way to the Premier League via the Wembley showpiece final thanks to the efforts of manager Neil Warnock.

"Neil Warnock has added stability, turned things round, improved the confidence and the team are organised better," said Bright, who netted 113 goals for the club.

"I think reputation goes a long way. Four times Palace have been in the play-offs and they've been promoted three times. People say Palace are a play-off team.

"They have got momentum at this stage of the season, the confidence, and are in a position where they don't have to rest players as they need three points, so will go in full blast.

"Watching the team it looks like the passion is back, you can see the camaraderie and you can tell the club is on the up."
