The Palace chief was speaking after his side edged a nip-and-tuck affair 1-0 at Selhurst Park yesterday, [Ismaila Sarr snatching a late winner in a game where both sides had chances to claim victory.](https://www.eadt.co.uk/sport/24992466.premier-league-match-report-crystal-palace-1-0-ipswich-town/)
It's a familiar story this season for the Blues - they've largely been competitive in the top tier, but haven't been able to grind out the results which would have given them a better chance of staying in the Premier League.

"Ipswich made it difficult for us, and they make it difficult for any opposition in the league. I think they haven’t got the results maybe they’ve deserved in the last weeks.
“We knew, especially when we missed a few clear chances, that makes it just even harder.
"We can't always expect that the players will perform at their top level, like they did against Villa, being very efficient, because we're all not always on our top level.
“But we could see a big effort from the beginning, I could see that we created many chances and we missed them. Of course, they also had two or three – we needed Dean Henderson in two or three situations to help us.

“I’m really pleased now, four wins in a row, three Premier League wins in a row.
"It's tough for every team in the Premier League to get three wins, and this group did it, so I think we all can be very pleased with the results and with the performances in the last weeks."
Palace climbed to 11th in the table with the victory - their fourth in a row in all competitions - while Town slipped a point further behind Wolves in the battle against the drop.
They are now six points behind Wanderers, who drew 1-1 with Everton last night, with ten games left to play.
