How the Eagles fared at Loftus Road.

Julian Speroni - Great stop from Vine in the first half showed the Argentinean is in some good form. 8.

Danny Butterfield - Confidently stepped in for the suspended Matt Lawrence. The usual quality of searching balls going forward. 7.

Mark Hudson - Desperately wanted the goal after nodding into his own net against West Brom on Saturday. Would have capped a cool performance. 7.

Jose Fonte - Average performance from the Portuguese man who is beginning to look at home in the centre of Palace's defence. 6.

Clint Hill - Had to move to centre-back to cover Fonte. Capped a fine turn with a goal. 8.

Tom Soares - Quieter than his all action run out against West Brom, but nonetheless was needed in midfield. 6.

Ben Watson - Looks like he is back to his best. Tough tackling, good passing and great dead balls. Nearly had a goal, but eventually created both. Man of the match. 8.

Shaun Derry - The rise in Palace's fortunes has coincided with his return. 7.

Franck Songo'o - A quiet game for the man who evidently possesses a great touch. Been given a second chance by Warnock, he needs to repay his faith. 6.

James Scowcroft - Does the dirty work, and boy does he do it well. Epitomised by the fact he won the free-kick that led to Palace's first goal. 7.

Clinton Morrison - He loves scoring for Palace as much as any Eagles supporter. Working hard across the pitch to ensure Warnock can't leave him out. 8.

Subs.

Lee Hills (replaced Fonte, 46) - Only his second league game but you couldn't tell. Should scored after getting upfield to latch onto a Sean Scannell cross. 7.

Sean Scannell (replaced Songo'o, 60) - Pace, good touch and a fearless attitude. A product of the Palace Academy, which is beginning to turn out more gems than Warnock will know what to do with. 7.

Carl Fletcher (replaced Soares, 73) - Bought on to do the job of shoring the midfield up. Did what was asked of him. 6.
