TWO Crystal Palace players on loan to Championship clubs endured miserable afternoons - both missing penalties in 1-0 defeats for their temporary teams.
Glenn Murray, usually deadly from the spot, had a tame first-half penalty saved by Sheffield Wednesday keeper Keiran Westwood, and later hit the crossbar before being substituted on the hour mark.
His misses were to prove costly as the Royals slipped to a late defeat, thanks to Stevie May's 83rd minute winner for Wednesday.
And similarly, it was an afternoon to forget for midfielder Owen Garvan who, in his first game since joining Bolton on loan, saw a second half spot kick saved in Dougie Freedman's side's 1-0 defeat at Wolves.
