Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson insists he's the right man for the job.

Hodgson was barracked by fans during Saturday's 4-1 defeat at Brighton.

"My years in the game have given me the resilience to cope," Hodgson said.

"Of course, taunts from away supporters are part and parcel of our lives.

"At the moment our own fans aren't very happy with anything that's going on at the club and they're making their feelings known as well.

"I signed up to be manager of this football club and I have got the strength, the resilience and the determination to see things through. I'm certainly not going to be cowed by that type of thing."

Hodgson added: "I'm not going to give you the satisfaction to say that it hurts me as it's pretty obvious.

"Everyone wants to be liked, everyone wants to be praised, everyone wants to be told they're the best and when that doesn't happen the answer is yes, it's a little bit hurtful."
