Steve Bruce felt Hull City deserved a point from home defeat by Nottingham Forest
HULL City boss Steve Bruce felt his side deserved at least a point after creating a flurry of chances late on in their 2-1 home defeat by Nottingham Forest.
The Tigers went 1-0 up in first-half stoppage time when Jack Hobbs headed Robert Koren's corner back into the danger zone, aloowing George Boyd to flick the ball over his shoulder and into the net with his back to goal.

Forest responded immediately on 54 minutes as Darius Henderson fired home from 12 yards and Lewis McGugan was the hero after coming off the bench to net the winner with five minutes left.
City saw second-half chances come and go for Gedo, Boyd, Jay Simpson and David Meyler and Bruce was gutted not to earn a draw.

He said: "We've done enough to win two matches, that's the biggest disappointment.
"I couldn't fault the way we played or the way we've gone about it.
"To be fair to Forest they've gone for it and played three up front, but the attempts we've had off the line and the post - it's just one of those horrible ones where the luck goes against you. Unfortunately it wasn't our day."

“Another day with a goal keeper making incredible saves and a referee who was not only poor but inconsistent and who waited till well over 80 minutes before he did anything about the blatant time wasting of the visitors.”

“Every one in the top six lost except Cardiff so we are still in with a great chance of automatic and it's in our own hands. Sounded all too familiar yesterday, we had plenty of chances but didn't take them and the other side nicked it. Sorry Steve but it's about putting the ball in the net, almost and should have doesn't cut it. Put it behind us and lets win the next six games and clinch number two place!”

“The Football Gods are with us.
That's a couple of times we have lost and everyone around us do the same.
I honestly think Watford and Palace will drop more then we will...
FOWARD planning fellow supporters,
For our next home game buy a ticket for your son, daughter , nephew , neice.....
Take a young un with you that way the cost is not that much...
ALSO said young un Could become a supporter of the future...
We should be selling out this stage of the season in second place....
Pass it on......take someone with you......”

“I think if we had won yesterday that would have put one foot in the premiership. Cardiff too far ahead now unfortunately, but we are in a stronger position than we were before the game yesterday. Same gap but 1 less match to play. Leicester and Forest are too far back I think, its between City, Watford, and Palace for 2nd place. Next 2 games absolutely crucial. A win at Huddersfield to get us back on track and maintain the gap, then beating Watford will put us 5 (at least) clear of them with only 6 to play.”

“"and Lewis McGugan was the hero after coming off the bench to net the winner"
Am I missing something or is the journo a Forest fan? Shouldn't 'hero' actually read 'villain'???
Meanwhile back on Planet Earth I fully agree with Steve Bruce, after having two cleared off the line, Brady's free kick which hit the bar, and the couple of good chances for Gedo, I would have thought a draw would be the minimum that we should have got, on many other days that performance would have seen a huge win.
Judging by those rivals around us that appear to be struggling to put on a performance I am more than happy with our position today, still all to play for!”

“Amazingly, it's no harm done as Palace have lost 0-3 today and no change in the positions of the top four. Eight to go lads and it's all still to play for. UTT!”
