Jason Tindall kicked off with a 4-1 thrashing of Man U in Eddie’s absence.

Now it is Crystal Palace tonight, with United hoping to make it six wins in a row.

Jason Tindall though giving everybody a reality check, reminding us all that; “…nobody is going to gift you anything in the Premier League”, the NUFC number two pointing out how it was necessary to tweak thinks on Sunday at the break, which then helped allow United to blow Man U away in that second half.

Jason Tindall speaking ahead of the Crystal Palace match – Programme notes – 16 April 2025:

‘But nobody is going to gift you anything in the Premier League, and so it was our job to tweak things and go out in the second half and get what we felt we deserved.

Our intent was clear from the whistle and we were rewarded when Tino Livramento’s cross was pulled back by Jacob Murphy for Harvey Barnes to smash in from close range.

The third was all of Harvey’s making. It’s one thing for your opponents to make a mistake, but it’s another thing to punish it, and Harvey was ruthless in how he did that.

As was Bruno Guimarães for the fourth. Credit to Joelinton for his header into the right place, and Bruno did a great job of keeping his cool to wrap up the win and push us a step closer towards our overall goal this season.

But we know it was only one step, and we must keep our focus, stick to our principles and deliver what we know we are capable of if we are to take the necessary steps to finish as high up the Premier League table as we possibly can.

A dangerous Crystal Palace team stand in our way tonight. They will know what awaits them under the lights at St. James’ Park, but they have a talented squad and are very well organised by Oliver Glasner, winning 11 of their last 15 matches in all competitions.

We know the levels we will need to reach tonight and across each of our last seven matches of the season, and our aim is clear – to deliver another performance and result that Eddie and all of you can be proud of.
