Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson feels it was a strong point earned at Brentford.
After defeat at home to Arsenal, Hodgson fees the draw was a good way to bounce back.
He explained: It was quite important to bounce back in some way today. In the first-half I thought we were a little bit flat.
I don't think we were anything like we've been, but the coaching staff, in discussions with the video scout during the game, hit upon a better system of play in the second-half which gave us more chance to give the players more freedom.
[Ebere Eze] was playing in the first-half in the nebulous role behind the front player. We played much more of a classic 4-3-3 in the second-half, which is what we used in the latter half of last year, where we thought the players were more comfortable at this moment in time against an opposition like today.
I think that helped everybody and also helped us in the sense we had ready-made people to go in those positions if we made substitutions.
I think what Brentford do, they do extremely well. They were very good in the first-half in particular today. They are a good side who play a brand of football they've really mastered and brought to a high level, and they match that with quite incredible physicality. They have a lot of players who run a lot, are very fast and are physically strong.
In the second-half we came to terms much better with the game, and our performance was a good one and merited the fact we got a point.
It wasn't a 5-4 game but for people who watch football every week and understand how difficult it is to produce those type of performances, they'll appreciate there was a lot to admire out there."
