Coventry striker Clinton Morrison refused to take a pop at Chelsea fullback Ashley Cole after Saturday's FA Cup defeat.
"Not really," he said when asked if he spoke to Cole during the game, "I've known Ashley for a good while. He came to Palace on loan and he's a pal.
"He's a good lad. I wouldn't have a chip at him. It's the last thing he needs, right now, isn't it? I think he's in enough trouble with the missus when she gets home."
