'No hiding' admits Hull City's Ryan Giles as Tigers try to settle into new way of working

Ryan Giles admits there can be no hiding from the amount of change at Hull City during the summer, as the Tigers' dressing room gets to grips with Tim Walter's new philosophy.

Walter's early weeks have been fraught with challenges on and off the pitch with a slow start to the summer recruitment and the changes have not yet reflected in positive results, with City now second bottom of the table after five games.

Friday night's 2-0 defeat to Sheffield United leaves the Tigers without a win under Walter's tenure with Giles hauled off at half-time along with debutant Abu Kamara, who played ahead of him on the left side, and they'll hope to get that first success on Friday night at Stoke City, themselves beaten over the weekend.

"The style of play has been different, there's no hiding from that," Giles told the Tiger. "It has taken time to adapt to and even the new players coming in now, I know it will be challenging for them, but I think difference is good and that we can use it to our advantage.

"We are always learning on the job and that is important. I am sure the gaffer will say the same thing think with how fluid it can be, it can be really effective. We have seen it in patches when we have done it well and created goalscoring opportunities, so I think we just have to keep going with it and keep improving."

The defender had started the campaign playing behind Liam Millar, but the Canadian international started on the bench against Sheffield United given he only returned back from international duty on Thursday, but he says he's enjoyed linking up with his fellow summer arrival.

"Liam is a top, top winger who likes to get at players and get the ball to his feet," Giles explained. "Obviously we're both learning, as I'm learning off him and he is getting to know me as an individual; we're trying to get the best out of each other. It is important as individuals to then help the team so I like playing with him. He's a really top player and long may it continue."
