Hull City boss Phil Brown is desperate for his side to stand up and be counted as they bid to get out of the relegation zone. The Tigers sit second from bottom with just four points after a miserable start to the campaign.

"We need brave players," the Tigers boss told The Guardian.

"It's not a time for fear, it's a time for bravery. It's a time for people stepping up to the plate. We need players who can stand up and take the challenge."
