I,m delighted for him he,s been able to score a goal."We all know, the people of Hull, he,s got terrific ability so let,s hope he stays injury-free because he,s going to be a big player if he does."I honestly believe that the ability to bring people off the bench is what won us the game. "That,s the squad, that,s why we want the squad the way we have."When you can bring on the likes of Aluko and (Tom) Ince in particular, that gave us a freshness and changed the game."Having seen his side pass up a number of chances to take the lead after Elmohamady had cancelled out Tomas Malec,s early opener, Bruce conceded he had wondered ifit was to be Hull,s day."Usually playing in Europe you don,t get that many [chances]," he explained. "And to be fair we,ve missed three or four glorious chances and you think ,Are we going to get it,"As always we stuck at it after an awful startthat put everybody on edge for 20-25 minutes, including the players and the crowd, who I thought were fantastic."There was a frustration there but thankfully we,ve seen it through."
