Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira is delighted with their campaign this season.

With last month's FA Cup semi-final trip to Wembley fresh in the memoro, it has largely been a positive first season for boss Vieira, but he says staying calm in the down periods has been key.

He said: “It has been a good season. I knew that it would be challenging because having a couple of new players coming into the club and players coming from the Championship, we knew that they had the talent to perform at this level but it was just a question of time about how long they would take to adapt.

“Those players did fantastically well. We have had some ups and downs during the season but the strength that we had was that we didn't panic when we were in our difficult period.

“We kept working in the same way, everybody at the club was really calm and we knew what we wanted to achieve and where we wanted to go.

“We managed those periods really well and that allowed us to keep working and get results. That allowed us to build that kind of confidence that we could compete in the Premier League."
