Williams keeping faith despite poor Crystal Palace start

Jonathan Williams is targeting survival with Crystal Palace despite their mediocre beginning to the Premier League season.

The Eagles sit bottom of the table with just four points from 11 outings but 20-year old midfielder Williams feels they can work their way back into contention and move away from the bottom three come season's end.

"I still have faith we can turn it around as there is still over 25 games left to play and a lot of points to play for," he told the Croydon Advertiser.

"My personal targets are to get fit and stay clear from injury and then to try and keep Palace in the Premier League.

"We haven't been too far off getting a result and the performances have been very good in some games.

"Yes, we are bottom of the league at the moment and I imagine a lot of people have written us off already but that happened in the play-offs last year.

"No one thought we would get promoted but look what we achieved."
