Both clubs were hoping to earn their first points of the season and Bolton perhaps should have secured all three points in the first half with a number of decent chances.
Johan Elmander almost took Bolton Wanderers ahead in the 2nd minute but his shot skipped wide. Kevin Davies had a number of decent chances in the first half but failed to take The Trotters ahead, most notably from free kick crosses. Matthew Taylor’s shot from a free kick tested Hull’s ‘keeper Boaz Myhill who made a great save. Overall Bolton applied pressure but seemed unable to convert the numerous chances.

Both managers will be eager to get some points after disappointing starts to the season. Former Wanderer Phil Brown has so far suffered two defeats this season; the first against Chelsea (a respectable 2-1 at Stamford Bridge) and a midweek 5-1 battering by Tottenham Hotspur at the KC Stadium, including a hat–trick from Jermain Defoe.
