Robertson calls on Hull squad to dig deep

Hull City defender Andy Robertson knows his side are going to have to dig deep in the final two matches of the season if they are to stave off relegation back to the Championship.

Last weekend’s defeat to already relegated Sunderland, coupled with Swansea’s victory over Everton, means the Tigers are now one point from safety.

Robertson is keen to prove those that wrote Hull off from the start of the season wrong, as they prepare to visit Selhurst Park on Sunday.

“People have been writing us off since day one and I have no doubt that they will be doubting us again after the results at the weekend,” said Robertson.

“We know we have to dig deep now to prove them wrong.

“We need to tap into the people that have been successful in these situations before, lift the performances of those that need them lifting, and if we can do that it can see us to positive results in the next two games to hopefully get us above that line at the end of the season.”
