Warnock issues Palace battle cry

JUST one game into the season and Palace boss Neil Warnock has already got the mind games going.

The former Sheffield United boss got his new team to the brink of promotion last season but lost out to Bristol City in a playoff semi-final he still feels the Eagles should have won.

Palace drew 0-0 with Watford in their first game of the season and the manager of the Selhurst Park team insists that if anyone wants to keep pace with his team in the Championship they will have to 'raise their game'.

Warnock told BBC London: "I think we're a hard side. Let's enjoy it and let's go and put a few spokes in the wheels of other clubs."
