But we are second-bottom and bottom.[LNB]'Teams like Bolton and Stoke, and maybe Hull as well, are very direct and they have been effective. Our mentality is to go out and try to play good football. That's how I personally want to play.[LNB]'Sometimes we are better at it, and we need to make sure tomorrow is one of those times. Maybe sometimes we have to stand up a bit more for each other and be strong but we are not one of those teams that goes out to outmuscle the opposition.[LNB]'If we can put our game together all over the pitch then we can make it difficult for Hull because teams don't like playing against us when we are playing well.'[LNB] EXCLUSIVE: Martin Samuel meets under pressure boss Gareth SouthgateMiddlesbrough v HULL: Cousin remains a doubt but Boateng could return to face BoroMIDDLESBROUGH v Hull: Boro must do without captain PogatetzMIDDLESBROUGH FC
