Hull boss Phil Brown believes the Tigers are now playing the kind of football that will get their fans back on side. The Tigers followed up their 2-1 success over Stoke before the international break with an entertaining 3-3 draw against West Ham at the KC Stadium.

"Will that bring the crowds back? Guaranteed," he told the Hull Daily Mail. "I think that's been what they've been crying out for - that committed performance with the ball and we've seen it now in two games.

"Five goals in two games - both at home - and four points from them, hopefully there's a confidence brewing that's going to manifest in better displays.

"The Stoke performance was a spirited one. And we've seen a spirited fightback here. But we've also seen a spirited performance with the ball."
