Hull City boss Nick Barmby admitted his side are in a rut but thought his team would get out of it after the 2-0 home defeat by Coventry City.
Speaking to the Press Association, Barmby said: "I'm proud of the players for their attitude and commitment and the way we went about things in the second half.
"We're in a bit of a rut at the moment, but if we show that sort of attitude we'll get out of it, no doubt about that.
"It is about having the right attitude and wanting to get on the ball. As long as we stick together we're not bothered about what other people say."
