Grant McCann felt all three players who came into the side for the 3-0 win at Rochdale made an important contribution.
With Jordy de Wijs absent through illness, McCann handed young centre-back Jacob Greaves his Hull City league debut – 18 years after his dad Mark Greaves played his last game for the Club.
The 20-year-old produced an assured display in the heart of defence and the boss sung his praises afterwards.
“It was a very good performance from Jacob,” said McCann. “That was his first start for his hometown club and to keep a clean sheet, he couldn’t have asked for much more.
