Coventry manager Aidy Boothroyd was delighted with his players after they ended a run of 10 games without a win by beating Crystal Palace 2-1 at the Ricoh Arena. Marlon King netted the vital second goal 11 minutes from time adding to Richard Wood's first-half strike before Steffen Iversen netted an injury-time consolation for Palace. Boothroyd said: "A massive amount of credit has to go the players for that because we got a result and we got a performance. "Crystal Palace are much tighter than they were, they concede a lot less goals and are harder to play against. They probably looked at the run that we are on and thought that they had half a chance. "We were strong, we created chances in the second half and when you don't score straightaway you can start to think: here we go again. "But we kept going and showed courage to get on the ball and played some good football at times. And that's what we want - we want a result and a performance and I want it in that order at the moment. We can enjoy the result and relax a little bit because I have probably haven't been very easy to live with on the last few Sundays!"
