Konstantinos Tzolakis – beaten at the near post again, albeit by a rocket of a shot, he has lost the assurance of his early weeks at the club – hopefully one temporarily 5 Lewie Coyle – got forward well, particularly in the second half 7 Semi Ajayi – like the team as a whole, he got better as the game went on 6 John Egan – caught out a couple of times before being substituted at the interval 5 Nobel Mendy – his first game back after concussion and he did not look up to the pace in the first half 5 Ryan Giles – struggled to get forward, which is when he is at his best 6 Tim Iroegbunam – the only player who performed well for Hull in both halves, his goal was well deserved 8 Regan Slater – ran himself into the ground as usual 6 Mohamed Belloumi – a danger when Hull could get him into the game 7 Elliot Stroud – worked hard but beaten too easily for Ipswich's opening goal 5 Oli McBurnie – a lovely ball around the corner to release Iroegbunam for his goal, then a precise free-kick 8 Substitutes: Matt Crooks (for Egan, HT) – the substitution that turned the match Hull's way as he provided thrust from midfield 7 Mohoamd-Ali Cho (for Stroud, 58) – carries more attacking threat than the man he replaced, but his touch dnid him a second-half tap-in 6 Brook Norton-Cuffy (for Coyle, 77) – put a chance narrowly wide 6 Hidemasa Morita (for Iroegbunam, 77) – solid but unspectacular run-out 5 Jo Gelhardt (for Slater, 90) – N/A
