David Perkins's Performance Tonight

V well said that man. Totally agree.

 

Superb again. He deserved his goal and his MoM award. Personally I think he is one of our most consistent players.

 

Can only remember one game, sure it were back end of last season and nowt went for him at all that day, otherwise he is the most consistent player we have.

Runs on Duracells and better than the artful dodger at picking pockets.

 

Big fan of Perkins, but even for me that was by far the best I've seen him play. He has a knack of being first to every ball which is within about 15 yards of him, and if he isn't, he wins it. Looked to be very frustrated with the lack of support he was getting from the likes of Mellis and Done, and probably thought fùck it, chased the ball down several times before unleashing a screamer into the top corner. Did everything tonight and had he not been there to mop up, we could have lost heavily tonight, he almost single handedly earned us that draw. Was barking out instructions and for me, looks more like a captain than anyone. Took his goal very well and made up for another poor showing from Mellis who just seems to have completely lost the plot. 3 words, lower league *****.

Credit to Wiseman and Foster too who I though did very little wrong other than the one occasion where they switched off allowing Palace to score, otherwise they looked comfortable. Goldbourne had another good game for me too, another one of Keiths lower league signings that's turning into a real gem. Thought Stones played well after a shakey start, and probably could be forgiven for holding onto the ball too long a few times as I feel Etuhu offered very little support.

At times we played some decent football, Perkins and Done looked the most threatening, however we lacked that cutting edge. Harewood was unlucky in the first half hour not to be on the scoresheet, but drifted out of the game completely in the 2nd half. Fair result in the end but we had to work for it.
