Henderson acknowledged that Palace’s recent record has offered up its fair share of challenging moments, with two wins in their last 16 games in all competitions.
Conversely, Palace have lost just once in five matches in February, winning twice, with new arrivals Jørgen Strand Larsen and Evann Guessand both on the scoresheet, and an important win over Wolves at the weekend to lift spirits heading into tonight's must-win game.
“It’s so important that we’ve got to ultimately give something back [to the fans] as well,” Henderson reflected earnestly.
“It's been a difficult period, and I think the players have to take a lot of responsibility, because we've got to do better, first and foremost. For whatever reason it was, whether we had too many injuries and we just couldn't cope with the amount of games and the quality we were up against in the Premier League over the last couple of months…
“Now, we've got everyone back and we've got a squad. We've been picking up some good results, so hopefully that can give the club a boost and get the support from the fans, because I think it's so important.
