Hull City
POSITIVE: Dawson

AFTER his final game as interim manager, in which they lost 1-0 to Blackburn Rovers, Andy Dawson says first impressions on meeting ex-Reading boss Ruben Selles have been positive.

Selles will officially take charge tomorrow but met his new charges on Friday.

“He is a very personable guy,” said Dawson.

“The staff that have come with him are good people.

“He said hello to the guys and met all the staff but then let us crack on – he said ‘I have been in your situation and don’t want to interrupt any preparations.’

“He spoke to the players again after the game and was really bright.

“We can concentrate now on hitting the ground running on Monday and having a good week.

“The first signs of Ruben and the people around him are ‘we are going to help each other.’

“He has a personable trait which is great because everyone will run through a brick wall for you when you have that side.”

On City’s sixth successive defeat, Dawson insisted: “It will change for us.

“But you make your own luck with a no excuse mentality and things will go our way.

“In terms of the performance, especially in first half, I thought the lads were excellent.

“The football was quick, we have to keep getting in those areas and at some point we will get a ricochet, something will go in and it will kick-start our season.”
