Wolfie gives you the eye
A very good result, if average game, lifted by two top strikes. Michael Gray had another impressive game on the wing (much like his games in defence, only now with the bonus that someone else is doing some defending), topped off by an amazing strike in the 75th minute. Kevin Kyle’s last minute goal was nearly as impressive. I didn’t think he had it in him, and I’m glad to be proved wrong. The result was marred by what looked like a nasty concussion to Henessey after a collision with the Palace forward (note to journalism students: this is not high quality reporting – didn’t see and can’t be bothered to go and look up who it was). Obscurely, this didn’t result in a booking when a similar incident in which George Elokobi the other end earned him a yellow card. Granted, neither deserved it, but a bit of consistency in refereeing would have been nice. Elokobi, looked very effective and solid; so solid, in fact, that the Palace players mainly just bounced off him. I was impressed.
