Crystal Palace coach Alan Pardew warns Palace fans to expect transitional season

Crystal Palace coach Alan Pardew has warned fans that they should expect a season of transition from his side as they look to establish themselves higher up the Premier League table.

Palace started strongly last season and were fifth on New Year's Day but faded away during the second half of the campaign, finishing 15th, only five points clear of the relegation zone.

"There's only one way for us and that's to improve and get better," Pardew told journalists on Thursday. "This is going to be a team in transition this season.

"Really and truly we should have finished 12th to 10th last year," he added. "We had a disappointing second half of the season."

Pardew acknowledged that he is keen to help Palace advance without losing any of the "spirit and soul" of the football club.
