City need to wake up and take chances

Hull City rescued a point on Monday as Ruben Selles' men battled back from another freak own goal to earn a 1-1 draw against play-off-chasing Coventry City.

Abu Kamara's late strike meant the Tigers inch further away from the relegation zone with just four games of a dismal season left as safety edges closer into sight.

The Tigers had chances before Kamara's late effort created by fellow sub Nordin Amrabat, but at the other end, Ellis Simms and Haji Wright both missed good opportunities and were thwarted by Ivor Pandur.

Chances, chances, chances

For a team with the second lowest goals for tally in the league, you can't afford to be passing up the few chances that come your way. It took the best part of 40 minutes to fashion any kind of attempt on goal, and when it came, it should really have brought about the opening goal.

A neat bit of play down the left saw Regan Slater feed Kasey Palmer and somehow, he contrived to not score, and then in the second half, Slater again picked out Lewie Coyle who blazed over six yards or so out.

City are a team who struggle to carve out good chances, but when they do, they really have to be taking them. Palmer's double chance before half-time was as good as any all season, and could have changed the whole evening. Fortunately, they got something from the game, but those have got to be taken.
