Ola Aina urges Hull City to stay positive ahead of Sheffield United’s clash

The Tigers suffered their 15th Championship loss this term against Middlesbrough and the defender has charged his teammates not to lose confidence

Ola Aina has urged Hull City to stay positive ahead of Sheffield United’s clash in Friday’s English Championship outing at the KCOM Stadium.

Nigel Adkins’ men went down 3-1 to Middlesbrough on Tuesday. Rudy Gestede’s brace and Patrick Bamford’s effort rendered Evandro Goebel’s strike a mere consolation.

And, although, disappointed with the loss, the 21-year-old has charged his teammates not to lose focus but to target turning things around.

“We knew it would be a tough game and we went with a game plan – it was set up for us to perform but we didn’t do that to a standard that is suitable to win a game,” Aina told club website.
