Hull City boss Steve Bruce has reflected positively on the first half of the Premier League season.
The Tigers drew drew 1-1 with West Bromwich Albion yesterday, thus reaching 20 points - halfway towards their 40-point objective.
"We are halfway there, but we have to repeat the whole thing in the second half of the season," Eurosport quotes Bruce as saying.
"It is always difficult for a newly-promoted club, but we are making a fist of it and you can see from the way [my players] play that they are a delight to work with.
"They roll their sleeves up, have a go and they are enjoying playing in the Premier League. Hopefully we can bring one or two in to give a bit of quality in January, but overall I am delighted."
Hull play host to Manchester United on Boxing Day.
