Hull City manager Liam Rosenior has shouldered responsibility for Tuesday night's 3-0 defeat at Ipswich Town, a result that ended the Tigers' eight-game unbeaten run in the Championship. Speaking after the match, Rosenior admitted he made tactical errors in the first half and said he has learned from the experience.
The Tigers were outclassed at Portman Road, with first-half goals from Wes Burns and Conor Chaplin putting them on the back foot before Marcus Harness added a third after the interval. Rosenior, however, insisted the defeat was not due to a lack of effort from his players, praising their engagement and spirit.
“I take the responsibility for that performance,” Rosenior told Hull Live. “I know the mistakes I made. I don't want to make them public, but I wouldn't swap this group for any group. My job is to maximise the group I have and I felt I didn't give us the best opportunity tactically to do that.”
Rosenior now turns his attention to Saturday's trip to Millwall, the final game before the October international break. Despite the setback, he remains confident in his squad's character and believes they will respond positively at The Den.
“I'm really confident with the players, the character and the quality I've got in this group that there will be a really good response,” Rosenior added. “I can't guarantee a result, but I know whatever team I put out, they will all want the team to do well and pull in the right direction.”
