IT wasn't a classic at Selhurst Park between Palace and Stoke City on Saturday.
Here are our Eagles player ratings from reporter Mark Ritson.
Speroni – Hardly had anything to do in a dull match. 6
Kelly – Had a comfortable afternoon. 6
Ward – Continues to a decent job out of position. 6
Hangeland – Hasn't done much wrong and is keeping place on merit. 6
Dann – Not a difficult time against an average Stoke side. 6
Jedinak – The beard is off. Kept things ticking in the middle. 6
Ledley – Decent passing and offered himself to team-mates. 7
McArthur – Another good display and non-stop running. Rewarded with first goal. 7
Bolasie – Tried his best to give Palace spark. 7
Zaha – In and out of the game. Substituted. 6
Chamakh – Held ball up well again but really needs a goal soon. 6
