George Burley
Crystal Palace boss George Burley was unhappy with his team's defending as they lost 3-0 at Nottingham Forest.
Burley said: "We never got going and gave away horrendous goals. The first one was a free header, there was no defender marking which there should have been.
"We changed things at half-time, put a striker on to try to get at them and then within a minute we're 2-0 down.
"It was a hard game after that and although we huffed and puffed, we didn't do enough to get back into it.
"Julian Speroni has made some saves but some of our defending was very poor.
"Forest looked lively and bright, they haven't had a game for a few weeks and they looked sharp. But the manner in which we gave the goals away for me was very disappointing."
Forest manager Billy Davies added: "Palace made it very difficult for us and it was important that we got the first goal and went on from there. We scored three very good goals and the only pity was that we were not even more clinical."
"It was a very important three points for us. We've kept our long unbeaten home run going and we are sending our fans into the Christmas period happy. It was a nice gift for the supporters.
