Crystal Palace caretaker boss Keith Millen has put his hand up for the fulltime job after their draw with QPR.

Millen was put in charge for the clash at Loftus Road following Neil Warnock's sacking on Saturday and the team responded with a committed and hard-working display against Harry Redknapp's side.

"I'm ready for it," Millen said.

"I think the players respect me. I've done it enough times, I've managed before and I enjoy working for the club.

"The chairman may feel he needs more experience or wants to see what names are available because it's a vital time now."

Millen continued: "It's about respect. I respect the players and what they're about and hopefully they respect me for my knowledge and hard work with them.

"You do have to detach yourself from the players as a manager but also, with Premier League players, you have to make sure they understand what you want from them.

"They're big characters at this level and you have to get the best out of them.

"There's respect there between myself and them, I've worked with them for two and a half years and we've been successful."
