Interim boss Dawson taking it back to basics
- Published
Hull City interim boss Andy Dawson has stated he aims to bring things back to basics following the sacking of Tim Walter on Wednesday.
Dawson takes the Tigers to Middlesbrough on Saturday lunchtime in his second stint as interim manager as they look to end a run of 10 matches without victory.
"It’ll always be basics - basics will always help you win a game of football," the 46-year-old told BBC Radio Humberside.
"That will always be an important value that you have to live by every single day, but actually basics make brilliance as well.
"If we can do that one to a 11, plus the subs, plus the people that aren’t in the squad, all buying into the importance of the end goal which is results there’s no reason why we can’t [climb the table]."
The Tigers have no fresh injury concerns but will be without Charlie Hughes for their trip to Teeside after the defender picked up his fifth booking in Tuesday's defeat to Sheffield Wednesday.
Dawson also confirmed under-23 coach Conor Sellars and U21 assistant manager Billy Clarke will make up his backroom staff for Saturday's game at the Riverside.
