Hull's new head coach Marco Silva has called on the club's stay-away fans to get behind their team after marking his first game in charge with a 2-0 win against Swansea.
Silva, appointed as Mike Phelan's successor on Thursday, saw goals from Abel Hernandez and local boy Josh Tymon secure the Tigers their first win in all competitions since Nov. 6.
But a crowd of only 6,608 was there to see the FA Cup third-round tie at the KCOM Stadium because of a boycott by Hull fans in protest against the club's owners.
"It's important for me that our fans believe in our team because we need help," said the 39-year-old former Sporting Lisbon and Olympiakos coach.
