I'm expecting a very close game between the sides. The atmosphere in Selhurst Park should be a good one, so this is one i'm looking forward to.

I really hope the Wolves fans give Hennesey a hard time. I thought the manner and his behaviour when he left us was appalling.

Bloody storm has knocked out my TV and WIFI, again. Having to fudge WIFI using my phone as a hub. Seems to be working though, got a great stream, appropriately with Portuguese commentary!

COMB, let's have this one.

We look bloody awful at the moment!!

Well one thing I have learnt from the commentary is that Diogo is pronounced "Djuke".

[WOODLANDSWOLF]

Ugly, ugly win. But I suppose that is a good thing in some ways. At least we showed we can rough it up with the best of them. Palace must be pi$$ed at not getting anything out of that game, I thought they played well really.

I class yesterday's game as probably one of the toughest of the season so far. It was a very good three points gained. The Selhurst pitch is very close to the fans and is made for a good atmosphere in the ground.

Over the past few weeks myself and others have mentioned the contributions of both Helder Costa and Jota, out the two, Costa was a danger throughout, not everything came off for Jota, but he still contributed. Special praise for me should also go to both Jiminez and Rui Patricio. Jiminez is an intelligent footballer who's hold up play is very good and he brings other players into the game. It was just a shame he couldn't beat Hennessey in the first half when he was through on goal. But he played his part in Doherty's winner.

Back to Patricio, he is arguably the best Wolves keeper i have seen at the club and his two saves in a matter of seconds in the second half kept the score at 1-0. Whatever Wolves end up paying for him in compensation he is well worth it. Doherty's goal was the difference, it's just a pity Cavaleiro's chance didn't go in instead of coming off the bar.

As with the Southampton game, our passing wasn't always 100%, mainly due to the opposition closing us down quickly, but the players tried to stick to the game plan set by Nuno.
