Elmo – We Will Improve

Ahmed Elmohamady has been speaking ahead of the game against Cardiff City later this evening, and admitted that Hull need to show a lot of improvement if we are to achieve our hopes of being promoted back to the Premier League at the first time of asking.

With a one nil loss to Brighton behind us, and no victories on our travels so far this season, speaking to the Official Site Elmo said our away form has to match our stronger home form if we are to pick up the points we need.

‘It`s something quite hard to understand. We need to quickly put right our form away because we play so well in the home games but then we are like a different team away. We have an attacking mentality at the KC and go out to attack teams from kick-off but we don`t seem to be able to do that away from home. Hopefully we can start doing that from tonight.’

With Cardiff making a decent start to the season themselves, now sitting in second place in the Championship table, Elmo knows we will be up against another tough test tonight, but it’s a test he knows we have the quality to conquer as long as we play properly.

‘The best thing about the Championship is that when you have a disappointing game on Saturday, you have a match on Tuesday to put things right. You have to get yourself ready straight away because you have no time to think about the last result so that is a really good thing. We know we will be better tonight. Cardiff are a good team and have had a good start to the season but we`re ready.’

Driving the team on he knows will be the Brighton result though as everybody was gutted to come out of the game with nothing to show for it.

‘It was disappointing to lose to a team close to you in the league table. Brighton are a good team with a good manager and defended really well but it was a frustrating one for us. We`ve got to forget about that now and focus on the Cardiff game and getting a result away from home. We have some big games coming at home so it would be good to get an away win to boost confidence levels leading up to some important matches. We always enjoy playing in the KC Stadium with its nice atmosphere but we need to learn how to win away too.’
