THE key stats and moments from the match against Palace.
BRIAN JENSEN: Impeccable handling and a superb save to earn a clean sheet all added up to a great day for the Dane...8
LEE ROCHE: Held his own until the last half hour, when Julian Gray began to open his legs and create havoc...6
DAVID MAY: Magnificent again at the heart of a defence that refused to buckle. Lost count of how many headers he won. STAR MAN. 9
MARK McGREGOR: Staked another claim for regular inclusion with a towering performance alongside his new partner...8
MO CAMARA: Solid defensively and just needs to add a better final ball to his game when joining in with attacks...7
PAUL WELLER: Beavered away to throw a spanner in Palace's engine room and always neat and tidy in possession...7
RICHARD CHAPLOW: His energy levels show no sign of dropping, despite his relative inexperience. Oh to be young again!...7
TONY GRANT: Booking was the only blemish to an assured, mature display alongside Weller and Chaplow...7
LUKE CHADWICK: Plenty of possession again, but still lacking that little bit of conviction that could make the difference...6
ROBBIE BLAKE: Started like a house on fire and always looking to give the Eagles defence something to think about...8
IAN MOORE: Forced to feed on scraps and never really had a chance to add to his impressive recent goals tally...7
