Hull City manager Tim Walter has admitted his side's performance in their 1-0 defeat by Oxford was not good enough.

Walter's team dominated possession and had ten more shots than the home side but were beaten by Hidde ter Avest's 55th minute goal.

"“We lost again and that’s the problem at the moment.

"It’s all about development and improvement and I can see the signs but when something happened against us we couldn’t find the red line again," Walter told BBC Radio Humberside.

"We are not resilient enough and for a young squad that is important, and to get in the right moments.

“All we can do is stick together, work and fight hard against these situations. It’s not easy for us but they are good boys and keep working."

The Tigers' current poor run of six games without a win leaves them just three points above the relegation zone ahead of Sunday's home match with West Brom.

"We will stick together, we will keep going because they are good lads and we have a really good relationship," added Walter.
