A Jones: Issues early on, but regrouped. 6

Greaves: One-time Boro target was strong in both boxes. 7

Coyle: Decent shift before making way. 6

Seri: First goal for Hull since opening day of 22-23 and might have had another. Bossed it for spells. 8

Engel: Assist for goal. Busy defensively, but also got forward. 6

Howson: Some key involvements. Grew into the game. 7

O’Brien: Exposed by Dieng’s dreadful pass for second. Did provide some drive for Boro. 7

I Jones: Looked dangerous early on. Faded and then revived himself as it got stretched. Set up Azaz’s goal. 7

Azaz: Quiet until scoring a big goal when he came into the game, big time. Much better as game opened up. 7

Greenwood: Game passed him by as Hull took over. 5

Latte Lath: Super opener which showed his sharpness and confidence. 7

Substitutes: Silvera (Greenwood 74).

Thomas (Engel 83).

Not used: Glover, Barlaser, Gilbert, Bangura, McCabe, Finch.
