Cardiff manager Dave Jones cut a frustrated figure as his side missed the chance to cut the gap between themselves and leaders QPR, who drew 0-0 against Millwall.
"[Palace] came to counter-attack us and we couldn't get the ball in behind," said Jones.
"It was one-paced and we needed to move the ball quicker. We lost our width too much.
"We have spoken after the game and will speak about it again because we will get more teams who will come here and shut up shop and catch us sleeping at the other end.
"Seeing Seyi Olofinjana and Jason Koumas get 90 minutes under their belts is a bonus to us. It takes time but they will get sharper."
