We did all we could - Warnock
Neil Warnock felt he could not have asked for anything more from his brave Crystal Palace side as they were narrowly beaten 1-0 by Paulo Sousa's classy Swansea.
Warnock, who tasted defeat for only the second time in 11 games, heaped praise on his makeshift backline after a series of injuries disrupted his plans.
Former Palace striker Shefki Kuqi scored the only goal of the game 14 minutes into his first start for the Swans.
"You can't ask for any more than that really," Warnock said. "I'm disappointed with the goal. They are already one of the best sides in the division, so to give them a goal gave them a lift. I was glad to get to half-time.
"But I thought we were super in the second half. I'm delighted with the effort we put in and you can't ask for any more from them.
"We lost two centre-halves [Claude Davis and Matt Lawrence] this (on Tuesday) morning. Johnny Ertl has not trained for two weeks and he ends up playing 90 minutes. But they'll take some stopping, will Swansea."
