"I don't think it was revenge - Paul Jones did his job," Hoddle said after the 0-0 draw.
"We had to let him go because we've got four good keepers at the club and he needs to play first-team football at his age to keep his international place.
"We're still very much in the play-off race, although it would have been nice to get the win our performance deserved and be in the top six now.
"I think there are enough games and points left for us to give it a good go.
"We played like the home team and just didn't take our chances - full marks to Jones for playing a blinder."
