Tigers running out of time - Dowie
Iain Dowie admits Hull are "running out of games" as they bid to preserve their Premier League status.[LNB] The Tigers would have drawn level with 17th-placed West Ham with a win in their game in hand against Aston Villa last night but instead they slumped to a 2-0 defeat.[LNB]Hampered by a vastly inferior goal difference, Hull know they must win two of their last three games to have any chance of staying in the top flight for a third successive season.[LNB]Defeat at home to Sunderland on Saturday coupled with a West Ham win over Wigan would effectively relegate Dowie's side, but he is retaining a positive focus.[LNB]"I choose to say we've got to win the game," he said.[LNB]"But we are running out of games. Saturday is a must-win."[LNB]Dowie has failed to lift Hull's form since replacing Phil Brown last month, winning only one of his six matches in charge.[LNB]The former Crystal Palace and Coventry boss, though, insists there can still be a silver lining.[LNB]"When we came here it was one win in 17 games, if we get two wins in seven games that's a turnaround so let's make sure we take care of our business," he continued.
