Andre Moritz: 'Crystal Palace run is one of the best moments of my career'
ANDRE MORITZ insists that Palace must continue to work hard to extend their unbeaten run and realise their dreams of promotion.
The Brazilian midfielder was instrumental as the Eagles made it 14 games unbeaten, scoring one and having a hand in many of Palace's best moments in the 3-0 win against Derby County.

He said: "You know when you are top of the league that everyone wants to beat you.

"We know that and we know we need to keep working hard and take it step by step and game by game."
Moritz, who arrived on a 12-month deal in the summer having previously played in Turkey, revealed that he took a huge wage cut to come to Palace, but said he was delighted he made the move, adding that he would always respect Palace in front of other clubs if they come calling.
And Moritz, who has scored three goals in three games since Ian Holloway took over as Palace manager, said that to be part of such a good run was "one of the best moments of his career".
He said: "I have scored three goals in three games and I am really happy about that.
"I had five good years in Turkey, but I think that I made a really good move coming to England and I am really enjoying it here at Palace.
"The supporters are really excited at the moment and it is a really great feeling to be a part of this, but we just need to keep it up."
Moritz said his favourite goal in a Palace shirt was the recent one against Peterborough, adding that the importance of the goal, which drew the Eagles level in a game they went on to win, made it all the more special.
"It was a big goal," he said.
"I scored when we beat Ipswich 5-0 and again here against Derby, but I think that one against Peterborough was really special."
Meanwhile, the 25-year-old said the squad had taken confidence from the unbeaten run and while he stopped short of saying the Eagles would be promoted, he promised they would do their best to make it happen.
"We believe in ourselves," he said.
"But the most important thing is taking it step by step.
"We can't say we are going to go up, but we can guarantee we will give it everything in each game to get the win."

“Jack,

“I don`t mean to be disrespectful.......
I don`t mean to be a Sexist.......
I don`t mean to be a Racist.......
I don`t mean to come on here & Speculate, Gossip & tell Lies about what monies we received for Ambrose & Scannell or that Freedman was going to sign a new contract in December............................
I don`t mean to be disrespectful but i don`t think these guys will also know it wasn`t Sir Simon Jordan`s fault that we went into administration, it was all Agilio`s...........
I don`t mean to be disrespectful but Burley was doing a good job & he needed more time......
I don`t mean to be respectful but i don`t think these guys realise the talent of Calvin Andrew, David Wright, Jermaine Easter & Aaron Wilbrahim........
I don`t mean to be disrespectful but i do not rate CPFC 2010 all they seem interested in doing is designing a club badge...........................

Will you be Apologizing for saying both Leeds goals were against the run of play?”

“Yes it`s nice to get a good honest non bias report from a Knowledgeable Palace Fan.
How can somebody come on here & say both Leeds goals were against the run of play, when that person has not attended the match?
Nicecityboy, well done for the TELLING THE TRUTH.
As i`ve said before all we want is the TRUTH ON HERE, NOT GOSSIP, SPECULATION & LIES!”

“Nicecityboy,
Holloway has to spend in January, another decent striker has to be signed.
Easter is not good enough for the Championship & Wilbraham is not the answer as well.
Holloway is used to not spending bundles on players so he`s come to the right club because Parish & Co don`t like parting with their dough, so let`s hope he can find a few gems with what little dough is made available to him.
We don`t have the biggest squad, so if we get more suspensions & injuries we have to buy in January.
Nicecityboy, good honest comment about the Leeds game from someone hat went & not the usual rubbish from Bias Idiots that listen to it on Palaceiplayer or laughingly get Palace match reports sent to their phone, what a rubbish service Palaceiplayer is, it is way behind the play, it is BACKWARD, i actually listened to the game at work on Saturday & the goals came on on Sky Sports & then a couple of minutes later the goals were broadcast on Palaceiplayer, what a BACKWARD service.
As i`ve said before by the time the commentary finished on Palaceiplayer, most of the fans had already left the ground, it is BACKWARD.
Totally agree, Easter waste of space, Calvin Andrew, perhaps the gruesome twosome will beat it to watch Port Vale, because those 2 rated Andrew so highly.”

“Calvin Andrew has gone to Port Vale today. Sensible decision as he is not good enough for our level. Let's hope Jermaine Easter is next out the door - he's had his chances and has not impressed.”
