Tom Bradshaw failed to start for the second game running - the first time this has happened since he was a substitute for the 3-0 win over Sunderland in August and then the 1-1 draw at Preston in September.
It is the first time since October/November 2016 that Bradshaw has gone back to back games without making an appearance.
Oli McBurnie has now scored four goals in his first four Barnsley starts, meaning only Tom Bradshaw (11) and the departed Harvey Barnes (5) have score more for Barnsley in 2017-2018.
Unsurprisingly therefore McBurnie also currently has the best minutes per goal ratio this season at the club - he has scored a goal every 85 minutes and seven of his 10 shots have been on target.
Hull conceded a league goal at the KCOM Stadium for the first time in four matches.
Dimitri Cavare has made only six appearances for Barnsley so far, and has been shown a card in three of them (3 yellows 1 red)
Hull captain Michael Dawson scored Hull's equaliser - two of his three goals this season have come against South Yorkshire sides (also at Sheffield Wednesday in December)
Barnsley ended a four match losing league run at the KCOM, their last league victory there, in 2006, was also the last occasion they have scored more than once on Humberside.
The Reds have gone back to back away league games without defeat for the first time since October/November (a run of three)
Hull's last six goals in the Championship have all been scored by different players, whereas four of Barnsley's last five have been scored by McBurnie.
Barnsley had only 40% possession in the match, the lowest since the 2-1 defeat at Fulham on the 23rd December (38%)
Hull had 17 shots on goal which was the most an opponent has had against Barnsley since that Fulham match (19)
Eight of the Tigers 17 shots were on target, the most by a Reds opponent since Bristol City on the opening day of the season (11)
Barnsley did not win a single corner, the first time this has happened since another trip to Fulham in January 2017.

Hull manager Nigel Adkins said:
"We were looking for all three points. We didn't reach the heights we reached on Friday in the first half.
"We've gifted them a goal and they've had something to hang onto. They've put everyone behind the ball and it's up to us to break them down.
"We've had enough opportunities in and around the box - we've had 17 shots on goal - but it was captain Dawson who's scored the all-important goal."
