"We played very well, especially after going a goal down," said Bruce.
"I'm seeing some very encouraging signs. For the new lads it's always nice to get them settled in and Quinny did particularly well.
"I've been after him for a while to be fair. I looked at him when I was at Sunderland.
"He couldn't have had a better debut, I was delighted for him."
City had to earn victory the hard way after shipping an unfortunate early goal. Chris Eagles' free-kick from 30 yards out took a wicked deflection off James Chester to leave Ben Amos wrong-footed.
The Tigers were unperturbed, however, and grabbed an equaliser on the half hour mark with their own good luck.
Robert Koren's cross from the right was deflected into the path of Aluko who beat Adam Bogdan from eight yards out.
City completed their comeback 59 seconds after the break when Faye out-jumped Bogdan to meet Quinn's corner, but the best was still to come.
Jay Simpson's trickery inside the Bolton box ended with an unselfish pass to the new boy and Quinn made no mistake from close range.
Faye could have grabbed a fourth when another towering header came off both posts but the Tigers were more than happy with their victory to leap up the fledgling Championship table.

“This team is a work in progress but in football you have little time to prove that,as Nick Barmby rather brutally found out.The Allams brought Steve Bruce to the KC and removed Barmby because they trusted that Bruce's time in the game meant his directory of football contacts was vastly wider than Nick Barmby's,whose only heavy influence was with Warren Joyce at Man U.So it seems.Bruce may well be no better a coach than Barmby,but he will be a much better
Manager in a more general sense.
I think City could've gone horribly backwards this season without significant 'surgery',the Allams have made the right decisions in the interest of protecting their business and our club.
Personally I'm hugely encouraged that even if by accident,rather than design,we have Simpson and Olofinjana back playing,if we are to do well this season we need total squad involvement.We look strong and fearless,all of a sudden.Amazing what goals can do for you!
I think this team will be promoted with a bit of luck,there are no outstanding teams in this tight division,but if we want to survive in the Premier League we need to develop through the next 42 games and find our game sufficiently to win 10 or 11 games in the top division,the requirement for survival up there,an aptitude we didn't have last time round.
I'm not being 'previous',I don't think.If you want to get somewhere you aspire to,you have to publicise your goal.You have to talk about it like an expectation,not a vague hope,as Nigel Adkins or Sam Allardyce did last season.A couple more results like Saturday's and the players will believe.
Sorry,but I'm cursing nothing.This group of players should aim high!”

“DeeGee13
The recession is having a major effect on what a lot of money some people have spare.
An example ticket prices at the KC reached as high as 30 squid for a Championship game.
I have a season pass, but I spoke to people who wanted to go to the game who was completely put off by the prices.
15,304 against Bolton showed this.”

“Anyone noticed nearly all the Championship attendances yesterday were well down on what you would expect?
E.g. Birmingham, 14,900 odd; Leicester, 18,000 (usually around 24,000) etc.
Take a look; bizarre.”

“To beat Bolton 3-1 and for that scoreline to flatter them say's it all for me.
The period after the break was some of the best football I've seen from CityHull side for a long time but with an end product.
Quinn & Aluko superb and special mention to Simpson, fantastic performance which deserved a goal.
Also very brave of Bruce to drop his big money signing, shows he has no favorites and he'll pick the team who he believes will win matches and is not afraid to make the big decisions.”
