Brilliant performance by Ollie unlucky too he should have had two goals himself.

Have we ever had such a hard working striker? I can't think of one.

Andy Gray was a real grafter.

Brilliant display from Ollie today, absolute crying shame he didn't get the goal it deserved.  Absolutely superb display of the centre forward's role.

Dean Saunders perhaps?

Watkins is the perfect striker for the modern trend of playing one up front. He basically plays like we have two, or even three, strikers. He is absolutely everywhere and must be a fucking nightmare to play against. Deserved a goal today, but had a crucial part in all three. Love him to bits.

He's crucial to how we play. Is just trying a bit too hard when chances present themselves, once it clicks for him, he'll be unplayable.

He’s ace, can’t praise him enough. I’m sure I’m not the only one now just willing the ball in the net for him. So deserves a goal.

He does at times but I never hope he loses that attitude and appetite. Today though he was just flat out unlucky. Off the bar, we score. Off the post, the keeper's makes good saves to deny him. Those Palace CB's were given a torrid time. And that's before you get to the goals that in another era are given and he's into double figures for the season.

He was exceptional. Goals will come, because he’s getting in the right places. Crucially when he’s not scoring he’s massively contributing and creating chances.

Quite superb today. You can see how desperately he wants to score, but he’s contributing massively to what we’re doing.

We seem to have flair players coming out of our ears all of a sudden, but it's great we also have a "fox in the box". A vital component for a winning team.

He was but not like Ollie.

 Dean Saunders always put a good shift in
