CRYSTAL Palace midfielder Joe Ledley knows he was to blame for a rare mistake which lead to Hull City's second goal on Saturday.
The Welshman has been outstanding for the Eagles since arriving in January, and with Palace chasing the game and looking for an equaliser, Ledley lost the ball to Jake Livermore, who created Nikica Jelavic's finish.
The central midfielder wants to move on quickly and is set to take part in a couple of European Qualifying games for Wales.
"First half, I actually thought we did all right," Ledley told the Advertiser.
"It was a slow start but then we got our way into the game.
"They were sloppy goals to concede and a mistake by myself. We're not normally like that but it was just a bad day at the office.
"We played good football at times but we didn't hurt them as much. It's time to move on.
"Hull have a good team who we hadn't played against, I thought we battled. The referee may not have helped us as much.
"Hopefully a couple of weeks off will help clear our heads.
"To be fair I never really make mistakes and I should have just played the ball. I held my hands up, I'll move on and these things happen in football.
"We were under the cosh and were trying to get forward. With things like that you do get caught on the counter attack."
