Brown in determined mood

Hull City boss Phil Brown is in determined mood ahead of their crucial Premier League clash at Aston Villa. The Tigers head to Villa Park knowing if they can take something from the match they would put themselves in a great position to stay up.Hull are currently three points above the drop-zone, although Newcastle - the team directly beneath them - do have a better goal difference."We have got to approach the game in a positive manner," Brown said on Sky Sports. "Everyone talks about Aston Villa's form but there is probably nobody in the league in worst form than us. But I am looking around the training ground and I am not seeing players suffering with the situation."Nobody will expect us to win but we have kept our best football for the teams in the top half of the division."Villa have gone ahead 14 times this season, we have gone ahead 11 times and neither side has been beaten when they have gone ahead."That suggests the first goal is going to play a major part in the outcome of the game."
