Wanderers looked comfortable after Ivan Klasnic's 20th-minute goal and Kevin Davies' second-half header.

However, with 19 minutes to go Stephen Hunt nodded in from close-range to spread panic in a defence without a clean sheet all season and the Republic of Ireland international's cross-shot produced the equaliser 12 minutes from time.

The home fans booed Megson when he took off on-loan Nantes striker Klasnic with 15 minutes to go to try to protect their fragile lead and there were chants for him to be sacked at the final whistle.

Megson has heard it all before and pointed out the dissenting supporters had selective memories.

"At the time I make the decision (to take off Klasnic) and it goes down like the Bismarck," said the Wanderers boss.

"But I would make exactly the same decision I did to try to keep hold of the game and keep that momentum.

"I made it against Burnley in a game I felt was slipping away from us and we got a point and no-one says a word.

"I made exactly the same decision against West Ham at 2-1 and we went on to win that one 3-1. No-one says a word.

"Today it went the other way and it was 2-2.

"I don't understand the reaction at all. Their reaction is one of 'This would happen, that would happen'.

"Everyone has an opinion but mine has consequence therefore it becomes a decision.

"When Klas scores - and it is a fantastic goal and we knew what we were getting with Ivan - even then you are getting 'Megson, Megson, sign him up'.

"Who do they think brought him here in the first place?"

Asked if he thought he could not win over the fans. Megson replied: "Yes."

Megson felt his side deserved more from the game, adding: "It ended up frustrating but it wasn't frustrating at 2-0, it wasn't frustrating at the start - although I thought we should have done better after taking a one-goal lead.

"It is disappointing we didn't go on to become comfortable winners.

"We became nervy and anxious and with the first goal Hull got the anxiety increased."

Hull boss Phil Brown was delighted with his side's fighting spirit.

"At 2-0 down you are not staring into the abyss you are staring at ways and means of getting back into the game," he said.

"The team spirit and commitment of these players has been epitomised by the performance after the second goal went in and the boys deserved to get something from the game.

"On another day we would have got three points but I'm pleased with a point."
