Sheffield Wednesday manager Henrik Pedersen praised his depleted squad after they held high-flying Hull City to a 2-2 draw at Hillsborough.
Svante Ingelsson and Bailey Cadamarteri scored to twice put the Owls ahead but Hull replied to take a point.
Pedersen pointed out that his squad is ravaged by injury at the moment but was pleased with the performance.
"I'm happy and proud of a performance where we were part of the game for 98 minutes," he told BBC Radio Sheffield.
"Hull are a strong team; they won their last three games. We played with six senior players, I have the biggest respect for how they led the young guys but also how the guys who came in did really well."
Pedersen admitted Wednesday struggled to contain Hull as the match wore on and says there are things to learn.
"Today we were very strong in the first 35 minutes. In the second half, we played without the ball because they are a top team in the league. The boys kept going and stayed together; we went up 2-1 and conceded an easy goal. But big respect.
"We struggled defensively on our left side, but we have to grow. But our medium press was good. There is a lot of things to be happy with but things to improve."
