Hull City’s goal hero Lewis Koumas says it was important for them to bounce back after successive defeats against promotion rivals Ipswich and Millwall. <\/p>\n

The 20-year-old Liverpool loanee scored the winner as the Tigers won 2-1<\/a> at sixth placed Wrexham. <\/p>\n

Hull are fifth in the table, with a nine-point cushion to seventh, and six points behind second-placed Middlesbrough ahead of Boro’s home game with Charlton on Wednesday. <\/p>\n

“We really needed that,” Koumas told BBC Radio Humberside. <\/p>\n

“I think we should have won the game against Millwall, we had a lot of chances, but that’s football, that’s the Championship, and we’ve bounced back.<\/p>\n

“All the lads inside the dressing room and around the place know how good every individual is, and what they can bring, and what the team can bring.”<\/p>\n

Koumas has now scored three goals in 10 matches since joining on loan<\/a> in the January transfer window. <\/p>\n

“It’s always a great feeling to have any impact on a game, so to do it a few times now is just a great feeling to help the team and get three points,” he added.<\/p>\n

“I’m loving my time here, just developing. I’m not too fussed starting, or coming on. I’m just loving doing the best job for Hull City.”<\/p>\n

The former Liverpool academy graduate spent the 2024-2025 season on loan at Stoke and began this campaign at Birmingham.<\/p>\n

“When you’re happy at a place, it kicks you on even more. I just want to do well for all the people supporting you and watching on, so I’m definitely a hard worker, and I love defending,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Being happy at a place is really important, in your surroundings and with the people around you. It has a big impact on confidence.”<\/p>\n

After stumbling against their promotion rivals recently, Hull City’s next three games are against the current bottom three teams – West Brom, Sheffield Wednesday and Oxford United.<\/p>\n

“We won’t be treating any side differently,” he said. <\/p>\n

“We’re going in with the exact same mentality every game, and that’s to win and put a shift in.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hull City’s goal hero Lewis Koumas says it was important for them to bounce back after successive defeats…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":469766,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-469765","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/469765","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=469765"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/469765\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/469766"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=469765"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=469765"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=469765"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
