Quotes

Roy Hodgson

"We are running out of players and that is the problem. We had about six injured before Cardiff and that is another two so that is about eight. We are really stretched unfortunately.

"Neil Danns has done his medial ligaments so that could be a number of weeks. With Claude Davis it was his back so we do not know how long that will be.

"They got a chance out of nothing because Claude could not run. But to come to Cardiff and limit them to maybe one or two chances for the whole game and to create more for ourselves, I was very pleased."

Neil Warnock

"The Palace result is the first result I look for in the dressing room after a game, and I think with Shaun and Clint we are all looking forward to coming back. My time at Palace gave me that enthusiasm for the game that I never thought I would have again. So I was delighted to see that result on Tuesday night [against Cardiff].

"We signed Shaun Derry and Clint Hill as they were not being offered contracts, and I felt I owed them a contract because of what they had done for me [at Palace].

"If I'm honest, I didn't want to come back and take everyone and rip them apart, so I was quite happy when Darren and Julian stayed at the club.

"Darren had signed everything but good luck to [Palace co-chairman] Steve Parish, they came in and stopped the move and gave him a new contract. I don't think anything untoward about that.

"Clint and Shaun were free transfers and I didn't feel guilty signing them, but I felt a bit guilty about Darren. He's younger than Shaun and Clint and still had a lot to achieve in his career there."
