Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder told BBC Radio Sheffield:
“Just maybe a game too far for us a little bit. I wanted to get through this game, I felt we were still stretched a little bit, playing a left-back in the middle of the park.
“Obviously putting boys into the team as well on a first start, so it was a little bit disjointed.
“Poor goals from our point of view. The first one gives them a huge lift. Then you could see, all of a sudden they sit into a low block and it’s up to us to break them down.
“We couldn’t find that rhythm and that bit of quality. And then the second goal was another poor goal to give away. And the third goal, we’re chasing the game.
“It’s a disappointing night. There will be twists and turns right the way through. We’ve put ourselves in a really good position. We can’t rest on our laurels and not get over this.
“We have to get over this pretty quickly. The cavalry are coming, reinforcements are coming, boys are coming back from injury. We just have to accept we’ve been beaten.
“We’ve won plenty of games this season. I’m not going to beat the boys up for it. Other people can, they can beat me up, but I’m not going to.”
Hull City boss Ruben Selles told BBC Radio Humberside:
“I feel really good because of the result but also because of the performance.
“It’s difficult to come and play and get points from here and I think we did a lot of good things today.
“I think the players fully believe in what we are doing and their application was excellent today.
“The early goal made it easier because then they had to open spaces. To start the game in that way gives you confidence.
“I hope we can build on this. Now it’s important to take the weekend to rest a little bit and then go again.
“I think the team has a way and a identity, we can win or lose matches but the way has to always be there. I’m proud of that.”
