Watson – Palace ‘Must Win`

Colchester United midfielder Kevin Watson has called this afternoon`s game against Crystal Palace a ‘must win` game.

“We`ve had an international break, I think everyone`s chomping at the bit to get out there – we`re very much searching for a win,” said the 33-year-old.

“We`re in need of a win really. Crystal Palace have not been doing well, but I`m sure Neil Warnock will have them up for it. We`ve got to make sure we start well.

Watson, speaking the U’s official website, cu-fc.com, continued: “Form comes and goes. We went to Watford [two weeks ago], got a fantastic result. Watford, remember, have been beating everyone out of sight. It was a benchmark for us.

“We`re not in a false position, but we are below where we should be as a club, regardless of our size.

The main aim to make sure, going in to a new ground, that we`re in the Championship next season.”
