Boaz Myhill wants the Tigers to bounce back from their defeat against Sheffield United in style.

City were beaten 2-0 by the ten-man Blades at Bramall Lane on Saturday, but Myhill has backed his side to react in a positive manner when Crystal Palace visit the KC Stadium at the weekend.

"We didn't start the second half well enough, although Sheffield United have to take some credit for coming out of the traps quickly," said Myhill.

"It was disappointing that we couldn't utilise our extra man, but you can't have everything your own way in football.

"We will bounce back on Saturday. We've got a home game and we want to finish off our regular league programme at the KC in style.

"The lads were deflated at the final whistle, but we've got a week to get ourselves right.

"With the position we're in, that won't take too much doing. Palace should be a great game against an open and attacking side."

Myhill was disappointed with the result against the Blades, but says that in an unpredictable division, anything can happen in the final two games.

"It was disappointing but it won't dent my confidence. I can't speak for everybody else, but I wouldn't have thought it will affect them either.

"We have a strong group of lads who believe in each other and who believe in what we can achieve.

"This is a very up and down division. Our strength over the last two or three months has been our consistency and hopefully we can keep that for the remaining games.

"Saturday's result was out of character for us. They were fighting for their lives to stay in with a chance of making the Play-Offs, but we're fighting to get out of this division.

"They are a good side with good players and they play good football. Unfortunately we didn't play football to the best of our ability."
