Hull City boss Phil Brown admits he needs to add left-sided players to his squad.

"I think we need to strengthen a couple of areas on the field of play based on a number of things," he said.

"We do lack balance in the side at times because of the lack of left-footers available to us.

"The two injured lads that we've got out are both left footed and there's a train of thought that we need balance bringing in and I would agree with that."
