Crystal Palace midfielder Jason Puncheon is full of praise for their January signings.
Puncheon believes Palace are showing that Sam Allardyce's methods are now bearing fruit, with the Croydon-born midfielder also praising the impact of the club's January additions on the rest of the team.
"The gaffer has always said, and he has been brilliant since he came in, that you always start at 0-0 and if you make sure you don't concede you give yourselves a chance to win the game," he told the Croydon Advertiser.
"I think the new signings have lifted us and everyone's games as well.
"Mamadou Sakho – he has played at Paris Saint-Germain and for France, and whatever has happened, it is great to have him here."
