Hull City 1-0 Bolton Wanderers

Last updated : 23 August 2009 By Andy Beill
But half the teams in this division aren't really any better than Bolton and we had plenty of these games last season where neither team looked good enough to win it and it was decided by the odd goal.

It all came together with Altidore on the pitch, and Ghilas and Geovanni had someone to work with. After we took the lead we looked threatening on the break and should have got a second - but it's not often we've been in that position so we'll let them off!

Let's hope it won't be another 8 months until our next home win.

Star man: Our forwards got the attention in the last half hour but goalkeeper Boaz Myhill was brilliant for the whole 90 minutes. He was flying around and getting a hand on everything.

Worst performer: Browny says Caleb Folan softened up the centre backs to the benefit of his replacement, but he did little with the football and wasn't a goal threat. Neither Olofinjana nor Kilbane dominated the midfield - we need an enforcer in this position.

Best moment: Altidore got a great reception when he came on and within 30 seconds he'd hooked the ball over the defence for Ghilas to score. Talk about an immediate impact.

Tactics: We looked bereft of ideas in the first half but the substitution changed the game. The four changes made to Wednesday's starting line-up all had positive effects as well so Browny can be pleased with himself - as if he needs the encouragement!

Chant of the game: "U.S.A! U.S.A!"

Opposition fans: Failed to fill their allocation. Their biggest chants were for Jussi, and normally we can appreciate why but on this occassion he was the second best goalkeeper on the pitch.
