Hull City, 09:52, November 25, 2009 ,
Hull boss Phil Brown says the players' self belief and returning confidence have been instrumental in their return to form.
As the side prepare to face an injury hit Everton at the KC Stadium tonight boss Brown says it is the players themselves and not him as manager who are to thank for the recent resurgence.
He told the Mail: "We collectively showed a lot of spirit to come back and surprise a lot of people. The quality and the spirit is all down to the players.
"The whole team feels more comfortable now, it's not just about me.Whenever a manager is walking out at the KC Stadium with a side that looks like they're confident and willing to put their best foot forward, everyone feels more comfortable.
"But we are, without a shadow of doubt, not getting beyond ourselves. Bottom line is, we're realists and we understand the situation."
