The Premier League's bottom club had seen fellow strugglers QPR beaten by Crystal Palace in Saturday's early kick-off, while Sunderland's 4-0 hammering at the hands of Aston Villa presented them with a further chance to close the gap.
However, they struggled to fully test Hull goalkeeper Allan McGregor, with Andrej Kramaric pulling out of a challenge with Alex Bruce as the goal gaped in the first half.
He said: "[It is a] Disappointing result for us, it's a game we obviously needed to win and we haven't done.
"I think our attacking players didn't really commit to the game enough which is a bit of a disappointment. I think we've been pretty creative of late in games especially away from home but today when the pressure was on us to go out there to create stuff I don't think we did.
"When two passes would have done, we took three and four moving the ball around the pitch and I don't think we stretched them enough.
"It's alright playing games against the big clubs and saying there's no pressure on us to get a result, today I think the players expected to get three points.
"I don't think we deserved to get any less than [one point] but to get the three pouts we needed to be a bit more committed to our attacking play and I don't think we were that today."
