Crystal Palace's first pre-season game saw Eddie Nketiah and Matheus Franca find the net in a dominant 5-1 win over Swindon Town.
Palace manager Pierre Sage shared his thoughts post-match, having taken over at Selhurst Park in June.
Giving his verdict to Palace TV after the win, Sage said: "I'm OK with the second-half, we did what we decided to do.
"We had problems with the ball and I think we have to work on this to be better.
"But at the moment the players are only able to play 15-20 minutes at the top level. It's only the first week, so we need more sessions.
"We've only had five sessions together. And we won't have just five anymore, so I think the next game will be better.
"We have possibilities to play together over the coming weeks. That's a good thing for the team.
"During Como [later this month] we will play two games there with less sessions. That game will replace the training for this kind of competition.
"But we have a good condition. We have a group who want to work with us, I think they give their best every day.
"I think this a good way to improve, both as players and as the team. I think we will continue like this."
