JOE Ledley admitted the reception from the Swansea City fans was not as bad as expected on Saturday following his Cardiff City connections.
The midfielder, who spent six years with the Bluebirds after coming through their ranks in 2004, may have been ready for heavy booing throughout the 90 minutes at the Liberty Stadium.
But in the end it was two other Palace players who got heckled slightly more following their second half introductions after their previous spells with Swansea's fierce rivals.
"It started off with some boos but to be fair I didn't get that much – I was surprised," said Ledley.
"I think Fraizer Campbell and Wilfried Zaha got more than me. It doesn't mean anything, I just went out there and tried to play my game."
