Striker unsure of future

Crystal Palace striker Dougie Freedman says he will make a decision on where his future lies after he has taken a summer holiday.

He is unlikely to be in Palace boss Neil Warnock's first team plans for next season, so will have to decide whether to stick it out and fight on or move to another club.

Freedman spent the last few months of the season on loan at Leeds where he was a great success, scoring six goals in 14 appearances, and there may be something on offer from the Yorkshiremen.

"I've had a good season with a bitterly disappointing end so I'm going to have a holiday for a couple of weeks," he said. "I'll come back and then decide which path I'm going to take.

"I've still got another year at Palace. I might think 'You know, I've done it before, maybe I can change the manager's mind'. I'm confident I can do that.

"Have I got the fight in me right now? No, I haven't. But if I have a holiday I might return and say 'Let me have a crack at this for three or four months'."
