Hogg urges Robins to show more belief after draw

Assistant boss Chris Hogg said Bristol City need to show more confidence after failing to earn victory against 10-man Hull City.

Pedro's brilliant strike put the visitors ahead on 13 minutes at Ashton Gate, but he was sent off 96 seconds later.

And although the Robins completely dominated after that - and equalised through Anis Mehmeti's penalty - they could not find a second to take all the points.

Hogg, who was deputising for boss Liam Manning who had lost his voice, told BBC Radio Bristol: "With them being down to 10 men for so long people will think we should have steamrollered them.

"Having 10 men can galvanise teams but we just weren't quite at our best in breaking them down and that's the most frustrating thing.

"They defended their box really well but it came down to belief and our quality. The penalty gave us a lift and gave the whole stadium a lift. But we struggled to break down their block and that is something we will have to have a look at.

"There were some good bits and some nearly bits, but the boys need to back themselves. We know we could have done better in some moments. We didn't start the game with our usual intent."
