Stockdale 8: Good kicking, commanding on crosses, only one real save to make, but what a save it was!
Calde 7: Like everyone else I was a bit nervous about him playing out of position at LB, but he was excellent. We were perhaps fortunate that Hull played Snodgrass up against him, rather than a speed merchant, but Inigo was not a weak link.
Goldson 7: Looking increasingly like a bargain at £600k, strong, pacy, and reads the game well.
Dunk 9: immense, won everything in the air, good distribution, and one run out of defence for 60 yards and a shot reminded me of Lawrenson against Derby? In the League Cup in 1978.
Bruno 8: Need to bring out the old Inspiral Carpets T Shirts for this lad. He is cool as ****.
Kayal 8: Battled and fought, and fought and battled.
Stephens 7: Quietly efficient, always there to tidy up the pieces.
Knockaert 7: Very direct, always looking to drive forwards. Clearly the target of their pre match briefing as Hull looked to kick him out of the game.
Murphy 6: A bit peripheral, but gave decent cover for Calde whenever Hull attacked on that flank.
Sidwell 6: Looked a bit short of match practice. Industrious rather than influential.
Hemed 6: Struggled against Dawson and co in the air, better at holding it up when played to feet.
Subs:
Baldock 5: Ran hard to cover their defenders, other than that not given many opportunities.
Crofts 5: Wisely brought on for Kayal, who was in danger of getting a second yellow card. Relatively quiet.
Skalak 5: Could have won it in injury time with a shot on the turn from about 12 yards, but blasted over. Very keen to get the ball.
Overall a very professional performance against a Hull side with loads of Premier League experience. Not hugely exciting but a point gained. We've not lost travelling to Derby, Burnley, Hull, Wednesday
, Ipswich.
Don't think we've scored a goal at the KC yet, and last night never suggested we'd break that duck.
