Neil Warnock is in no hurry

The Eagles remain sixth after a 2-1 defeat at promotion rivals Hull on Saturday. But boss Warnock said: "No one can complain if we don't make the play-offs. We've given it a fantastic shot and have already surpassed everybody's expectations."

Midfielder Carl Fletcher missed the game after his wife went into labour. Warnock joked: "We could have done with Fletch on the park at the end, but that's women for you, isn't it? No consideration!"
