How Hull City's Ruben Selles is using Brentford boss Thomas Frank ...

Ruben Selles says he's taken inspiration from Brentford head coach Thomas Frank in trying to move on from each and every result, whether that be win, lose or draw.

Tuesday night's 2-1 home defeat to QPR left City inherently frustrated with their inability again to back up a draw with Leeds United and the 1-0 win at Millwall last Saturday, and with Portsmouth beating Stoke City on Wednesday evening, the Tigers were dumped back in the bottom three ahead of Friday night's trip to promotion-chasing Sheffield United.

Selles, though, says he will not change his approach at Bramall Lane, and will be going there looking to inspire a third consecutive away win.

"I was just listening to a podcast or an interview with Thomas Frank, and he said that he doesn't allow more than 24 hours in the defeat or in the victory to reflect on how you feel it and how it was," Selles said.

"Obviously, it was not a long night, but you arrive home, and then sleeping was not exactly there because you want to win football matches and you want to do proper things, and then as soon as the day goes on yesterday, you are checking the game (back), checking what you need to do against the next opponent, checking the things that you have been doing now for two months together.

"It's a game that we wanted to win that we didn't, but it's also a part of our way so we reflected on it like we need to, we know the things that we need to do better. It's just about the application in those moments and continue working in the way that we want. I'm going to go there and try to get the three points. That's what I always do, and it doesn't matter who is in front of us.

"I think Sheffield United has a great manager; the team is solid. That's why they are at the top, they have some good players, a very good tempo in the game, at home they are really good in the different parameters of the game, but we are competitive, and we are going to go there trying to make our game, trying to dictate the tempo of the game that we want to play and trying to be our very best, and that will give us chances to win the game."

City will again be backed by a big away following in South Yorkshire, and Selles says there will be times in the game where the fans can play an important role, just as the 1,700-strong Tigers contingent did at The Den last Saturday.

"We spoke about it again after Millwall," he said. "The away games have been really good, and against Millwall, it was also a big support. I think it's important that the fans are with the team and the games that are close to us, we can be together and of course it's going to be difficult moments in the game, but those are the moments that we need them and we need that and we feel that support. It's always good to play in front of them."
