Tigers thrill boss Brown

Hull City manager Phil Brown has admitted Tuesday's Carling Cup win over Wigan Athletic has left him with a welcome selection headache.
The Tigers defeated the Premier League side 1-0 despite Brown making a raft of changes from the side that won 2-1 against Norwich City in the Championship last weekend
"I made six changes from Saturday and the message to them was 'be in the team against Blackpool,' he said.
"It sounds simple to say, but after a 2-1 home win over Norwich, I had 11 players staking a claim to be in the team for Blackpool.
"But the ones who played, the ones who were rested and those who came in are tight with each other, and it's a good squad mentality at the moment.
"The most pleasing thing is a clean sheet against Premier League opposition and a team that is littered with great players and a potent strikeforce."
