Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew has explained not blooding any youngsters for yesterday's final game of the season with Swansea City.

Palace signed off with victory over Swans and a tenth place finish.

"It's unfair on them and it's unfair on me - I haven't seen enough of them," said the boss.

"Pre-season, for sure, they're going to get games.

"I've had a good look at some of my players who have been out on loan, like Sullay and Kwesi (Appiah), to get a good indication of where they're at.

"So none of them will be involved on Sunday."
