Hull are 'going in the right direction' - Eganpublished at 17:09 BST 15 September
Hull City defender John Egan believes getting a point away at Swansea will be the beginning of a Tigers improvement in the Championship this season.
The Tigers drew 2-2 with the Swans courtesy of Egan's 97th-minute goal to pick up their fifth point of the season.
"It's important to come away from home and get results - it's a long season, every point is so important," Egan told BBC Radio Humberside.
Before the international break, Hull City had lost two games on the bounce.
In six games this season, including the Carabao Cup defeat at Wrexham, they have conceded 14 goals and only managed one clean sheet in the 0-0 draw at Coventry City in their opener.
"We have to get more ruthless in our defending as a team," Egan said.
"We [must] defend better, keep clean sheets, I think there's goals in the team so we've a lot of improvement to do but I think we're going in the right direction."
Hull now sit 20th in the Championship but have three home fixtures - as well as a trip to Watford - to come before the next international break, against Southampton, Sheffield United and Birmingham City.
"We have a really good squad and a good manager and I really feel like there's a lot to come from us this season," Egan added.
