Jovan Kirovski

JOVAN KIROVSKI is stalling on signing a new contract with Palace.

Trevor Francis has made it known that he wants KIROVSKI to stay, however the American international is continually warming the subs' bench.

KIROVSKI said today: "I think I've been playing well when I've had the chance. But I'm not the manager and I just do what I'm told.

"My contract's up in the summer, so we'll have to see what happens. The fans have been great to me and I love the place. But of course, it's disappointing when you are not playing."
