Portsmouth boss Tony Adams:
"At the moment we are having problems locking up and winning games. Credit to Hull, they never give you a moment's peace.
"It is important that you do not lose but we did not finish them off. We had enough chances to bury them.
"But we did not get the two-goal cushion we need at home at the moment."
Hull assistant boss Brian Horton:
"After going 2-1 down we would have probably taken a point.
"Dean Windass is a clever player and he knows chances are hard to come by.
"We are a little disappointed because we had some tremendous chances but then again so did they."
