Crystal Palace boss eager for Dann to continue rich vein of form

Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew has been extremely impressed by the recent form of defender Scott Dann.

The 28-year old centre-half, who has been at Selhurst Park since arriving from Blackburn Rovers in January 2014, has taken his game to the next level under Pardew and the Eagles boss wants to see him kick on.

"He's coming into his prime age as a centre-half and he has a lot of experience under his belt at this level," said Pardew.

"He plays with an honesty in every minute of every game. He has been very impressive since I've been here.

"His confidence is high - he hit a pass out to our left winger last weekend that Glenn Hoddle would have been proud of - so he's got that going for him at the moment and long may it continue."
