Defender Jack Hobbs feels Hull proved their promotion credentials at the weekend by taking three points off Reading despite a below-par display.
Play-off rivals Reading made most of the running at the Madejski Stadium but Robbie Brady stole in for a 66th-minute winner to lift the Tigers up to fifth place, three points better off than the Royals.
"It was a very pleasing win and a big one for us against a very good side like Reading," Hobbs told the club's official website. "We showed we can mix it up and that when we aren't at our fluent best, we can hang on in there.
"They put us under a lot of pressure in the first half and we probably didn't deserve to go in at 0-0 but we did and credit to the lads for that.
"We started slowly but we defended very well against a lot of set-pieces and going in at 0-0 gave us a chance to go on and win the game, which we did in the second half."
