Crystal Palace boss Dougie Freedman feels a long-awaited win is just around the corner.

The Eagles have yet to register a victory in the Championship in 2012 but Freedman took plenty of positives out of Saturday's 0-0 draw at Middlesbrough.

"We look at performances and performance-wise we did very well," he said.

"I'll live by results and die by results but the lads understand the performance levels have got to be of a high standard.

"If we keep playing like that we will win more games than we lose."
