'Palace will take Europe in their stride'

You can't always plan for scenarios like winning the FA Cup moments that change the history and direction of the football club.

Crystal Palace did enough to win the final and now they are in Europe as a consequence.

Some things may need to be looked at over the summer because of the extra round of fixtures they will have next season. Size of their squad is one thing I am sure they are going to look at to help ease the load.

They might be able to recruit a different type of player this summer because they will be in Europe, but even then that player has to fit the club and its identity.

The final showed the effort that needs to be put in by an individual to perform in that Palace team.

There are also player expectations that need to be managed. I am sure they will be realistic when it comes to Europe because they have shown to be realistic in their approach to the Premier League for a long time.

Oliver Glasner's players perform the way he wants them to and they fit perfectly into his system and ideas as a manager, so I don't really have any worries for them.

They will take it in their stride because they are a good football club with a very good manager at the helm.
