Barnsley

Collins: Ever consistent and made a big save on the restart to deny Docherty. No chance with either goal. Deserved better from those in front of him. 7

Moon: Struggled against the impressive Keane Lewis-Potter. 4

Helik: A difficult afternoon for the big defender. 5

Kitching: Given problems by Hull's attacking players. 5

Brittain: Went close with a first-half piledriver and had Barnsley's best second-half chance. Some poor decisions elsewhere. 5

Gomes: Could not stamp his authority on the game and did not take care of Honeyman either. Very poor off the ball. 4

Benson: Has a decent range of passing, but without the ball, but him and Gomes were meek in their defensive work. 4

J Williams: Lively enough start, but it was not sustained. Had issues along with several others. Replaced early in second half. 5

Cole: Probably Barnsley's most threatening player in the first half. But came off at the break. 5

Iseka: Slightly better in the second half, but comfortably off the heights off the previous few games. 5

Substitutes: Adeboyejo (Cole 45). Little change out of Hull's backline. 5

Coyle: A good outlet down the right before being replaced in the first half due to injury. 6

Bernard: Restored to the side and had a sound afternoon, 7

Greaves: Cool at the back and made a key last-ditch challenge to deny Iseka in the second half. Booked. 7
