Jozy Altidore says Hull City's comeback at Bolton Wanderers has lifted everyone's spirits at the KC.

The point at the Reebok, thanks to two Stephen Hunt goals in the last 19 minutes, did little for Hull's quest to lift themselves out of the Premier League's bottom three but it undoubtedly boosted confidence.

"I think it was huge for morale, for everybody in the locker room and the supporters as well," said Altidore.

"We couldn't let this game slip away. When we were 2-0 down I think the will of the supporters and the leadership of the guys like Nicky Barmby and George Boateng helped us.

"Any time you go 2-0 down in the Premier League, it is a tough way back no matter who you are playing.

"To see that we can come back is a good sign. Hopefully we can continue that in the new year.

"It is a new season now for us - 19 games and there are a lot of points available."
