Hull City boss Tim Walter says fans are welcome to speak to him about the team’s performances.

The Tigers are winless in their last six league games and some fans called for the German to leave after the 1-0 defeat at Oxford United on Tuesday.

The 49-year-old has so far won just three of 14 league matches since taking over in May following the dismissal of Liam Rosenior, despite leading them to seventh place.

“They need to talk to me. I’m open to a conversation with them,” he told BBC Radio Humberside.

“It’s not about crying from the stands or writing about situations on social media, I’m open to them, we can talk to each other.

“I’m open-minded and I’m also willing to learn. We want friendliness. We want to do it with them.”

The former Hamburg manager, who angered supporters after questioning their lack of support during the 1-1 draw with Portsmouth last Saturday, believes part of their discontent comes from the fact that they are not are not used to his style of play.

Since arriving at MKM Stadium, Walter has attempted to instill a more methodical, possession-based style of opening up opposition defenses, with an emphasis on building from the back.

“They’re welcome to see what we’re doing at any time because it’s different,” he added.

“It’s different to play possession instead of always trying to play transition.

“The transition may be more about the stands and entertainment, but the other is about increasing your chances of winning matches.”
