    We need a new right back.

    Drameh should have been that right back but hasn’t really kicked on this season.

    He has shown glimpses of what he can do (particularly at left back). I’d be tempted to recruit again but left back is much more of a priority.

    "What I don't know because I don't follow Hull City is what the points per game have been since the change of coach, for instance, and what the style of play difference is; I don't watch them other than this week when we're playing them. What I've seen this week is a pretty motivated team that plays on the front foot," Mowbray told Hull Live when quizzed about City.

    "I didn't see a team that we're going to come and be afraid and sit everybody behind the ball for 90 minutes and not think about attacking. They want to build up, they're quite brave with their build-up, and as they could smell some opportunities late in the game, they got back on the front foot.

    "I think they're OK, but at the same time, for some reason, it's not good enough for the players they've got now. I think he's (Selles) very talented, I can feel him next to me (on the bench) that he wants his team to play. He's a brave coach. It's good that they do, as we've tried to go to Elland Road and play on the front foot, go to Turf Moor and play on the front foot.

    "Don't be submissive, don't feel inferior, get after the opposition, and you can sometimes take them by surprise. We expected you to come and be on the front foot, and we found mainly in the first half, we managed to get through the press, but as I've been saying, not enough end product from getting in and around your final third, not enough shots on target."

    "I knew they were a pretty well-coached team, and they were really fighting hard for each other," Mowbray continued. "I could see that in the games that they played recently, And you know, they've been to Sheffield United and won 3-0. They beat Sunderland 1-0 at the Stadium of Light, they're a good team.

    "I think their position belies what they've got really as a group, so that's why I said it was a dangerous game having watched their games.

    "We had 16 shots, we're only three on target, and if the ratio was better, we'd probably score two goals, and we win the game 2-1, and we're sitting here quite happy, but that's football, and we have to take it on the chin. They're a well-coached team, I said that, I think they seem, for where they are in the league, a pretty highly motivated team.

    "I know Mason Burstow and 'Joffy', young (Joe) Gelhardt, I had at Sunderland with me, Kasey Palmer, I've coached at Blackburn, so I know some of their players, and they're very good players, very talented young players who have got a really good mentality, so I feel as if they've got some good tools to work with and, listen, good luck to them, they came and got a point."
