Hull striker Jozy Altidore feels he has now got to grips with the demands of the Premier League and is determined to finish the season well.[LNB] The American, who has scored just twice this season, admits he took time to settle after joining the club on a one-year loan from Villarreal last summer.[LNB]The 20-year-old impressed in his first start under new manager Iain Dowie in last weekend's vital win over Fulham and he now hopes to play a key role in the Tigers' survival battle.[LNB]Altidore told the club's website: "I think I'm just getting more comfortable within the team. What people maybe didn't understand was that the style of play I was accustomed to was the complete opposite to what we have here. I'm not saying that it's better here or better where I was, it's just completely different.[LNB]"I think you adapt because you are forced to adapt. I'm comfortable with it now and I understand what is needed from me.[LNB]"But it's not really about individuals. The whole project at a club like this is to form a foundation and that's what we're trying to do. It's not easy, but our job is to keep the team up."[LNB]
