Brown rues late lapse

Hull City boss Phil Brown bemoaned another late goal as his side slipped to a 2-1 defeat by Tottenham. Jonathan Woodgate popped up four minutes from time to grab all three points for Spurs after Michael Turner had cancelled out Aaron Lennon's opener.Brown admits conceding late goals in recent weeks is costing his side, but he feels there was not much between the two sides at the KC Stadium."We always said it was going to be a learning curve this season," said Brown."We always said it is going to be a progressive season and if truth be known if you look at three or four of our results of late, games against Sunderland 75 minutes 1-1, against Arsenal 82 minutes on the clock 1-1, against Aston Villa 94 minutes 0-0 and again today."It's hurting us in the end and you could say it is good experience "I wouldn't say there was over £100 million separating the two teams today."ToughBrown admitted the defeat by Spurs was a tough one to take after Kamil Zayatte went close to giving Hull the lead in the second half."It is a tough one. I don't think we deserved to lose the game," added Brown."Maybe their experience won it as opposed to our inexperience."The winning goal typified what teams are capable of doing."Anthony Gardner comes out of the back four and the ball is played into the area where he should be."Defensively, we have got to learn. The inexperience at this level is hurting us."I thought in the first half we were the better team."We went a goal behind and showed character to come back."The turning point was Kamil Zayatte hitting the post and it coming out as opposed to going in."
