Up to twelve and counting now. Whilst the players looked our strongest starting XI, we started with an unfamiliar line-up with Majewski playing on the left and Anderson down the middle. This didn’t really work, missing Anderson’s running wide and Majewski’s involvement in central areas and we swapped after about half an hour.

Anderson had one dipping shot, well saved, from outside the area but nothing really to get excited about. Out of nothing, that changed as we entered injury time. MOTM Morgan won the ball on the half-way line, it found it’s way to Anderson down the left and his pull back found Morgan first time with a rocket from 22 yards.

Whilst the first half was pretty tough going with too many passes going astray, after the break we started to show a bit of the footballing side from earlier in the season. Admittedly, we were helped out by the early red card for a blatant hand ball with Earnshaw running in on goal. Palace looked disorganised and struggled to cope being a man down for long spells. Their few chances all came from Ambrose free kicks but Camp was alive to produce two excellent saves to keep them out.

We made the most of the man advantage and found plenty of space in midfield with Anderson looking lively again down the left hand side.

It was good to see Tyson finally get a break and being allowed to play down the middle. He’s been treated primarily as a left winger this season without really being considered in his natural position. His first touch from Anderson’s pass took him round the keeper to score from a narrow angle. Fellow sub McCleary created problems down the right but just lacked that conviction to go for goal having down the hard work himself. One left foot shot looked to be heading for the bottom corner until a decent save turned it away.

Both Tyson and McCleary made a difference in the closing stages and their pace on the break could be invaluable against tiring defences in the coming weeks.

Cohen, looking much more prominent in centre midfield, had the chance to complete the evening but skied his shot from the penalty spot when it looked easier to score.
