Monk said after the game "It's two points dropped," said Monk. "Over the game we were superb, and it was the reaction we wanted from last week's defeat at Norwich.
"But in the end it was a case of naivety from us. We played short, quick free-kicks when we should have slowed it down and played the percentage game more.
"But we will learn from that.
"We have our first away point and that's the positive we can take from that game."
He added: "Their first goal gave them a lift and we didn't deal with that as well as we should have.
"We played so well for 80 minutes and 98 per cent of people in that stadium thought we would have had a tonking - but we showed that we can come to places like this and compete.
We have to realise that if we're in a situation like that again then we have to slow the game down and maybe not play the way we usually do."

The fate today’s Swansea footballers would never have to endure Swansea City bring this season to a close on Saturday with a home game against Millwall. However, what about those bygone days when footballers had no choice but to go down the pit after their career ended, or open a toy shop, pub or retrain ? That thought would petrify todays modern footballer.
Brave Swans in memorable game at Carrow Road It was a pulsating game to watch and very much one of my favourite away games of the season. The Swans looked an entirely different side to that we saw at Middlesbrough when it is clear a catalyst for commitment was agreed behind the scenes at Swansea City. To a man every player grafted and
wore the shirt with pride. To see the players really acknowledge the Swans support at Carrow Road this afternoon was emotional.
Swansea reject Cullen contract and trigger one year option Liam Cullen has had his request for a new contract dismissed by Swansea City after discussions broke down last week.
