Hull City boss Tim Walter hailed Lewis Coyle’s wonder goal in their 1-1 draw at Plymouth.
City skipper Coyle scored a superb 63rd minute leveller – praised by both head coaches – to cancel out Ibrahim Cissoko’s 52nd minute opener.
“It was a perfect goal from Lewi, he drove over the whole pitch – that’s what I like to see – dribbling inside, played a one-two and then the perfect finish…you can’t draw it better,” said Walter.
“We tried to create from the start but it was an open game, it was more transition – which is not what I like.
“We tried at half-time to make it a bit more patient, calm down and have more possession in our game, which we tried to do.
“But then unfortunately we conceded a goal.
“The reaction afterwards was brilliant.
“It was still an open game, we tried to have more possession, we were in good positions but we turned back not forward.
“It’s just a process and we are getting better and better.
“It’s not an easy game; everywhere you go to it’s a competitive game. It’s all about probabilities in the game.
“The goal was not from a mistake in our side. It’s the same with a new philosophy I created over eight or nine years as a coach and they are not going to learn that in eight weeks.
“Football is about learning, conviction. I am happy to have no game this (mid)week. We can work on the pitch in the training. It’s just pre-season. We can improve in every game.”
Plymouth boss Wayne Rooney was left rueing missed opportunities.
Rooney admitted: “I am a little bit disappointed we didn’t get three points because I thought we deserved it.”
