LIAM Rosenior is refusing to get caught up in the hype surrounding Hull City's eight-game unbeaten run and maintains the hard work has only just begun. Nigel Pearson's men have marched up the Championship table with a run of 18 points from a possible 24 to sit level on points with the top six. Attentions now turn to Nottingham Forest away on Saturday, the first of three games in eight days before the Championship signs off for its final international break of 2011. A trip to Barnsley next Tuesday will be followed by a mouth-watering home game with second-placed West Ham United and Rosenior is on guard against complacency. "We can't get too busy patting ourselves on the back in October," Rosenior said. "It gives us a lot of confidence for some very tough games before the international break, Nottingham Forest and Barnsley away and West Ham at home. "We need to get as many points as we can in the next three games to make sure we stay in and around the top two. "We're still grounded because we haven't achieved anything yet. We all want to win promotion and play in the Premier League and until that happens we're not going to be happy. "To be seventh in October doesn't mean anything. We're on our way to achieving something but we have to keep that going." City head to the East Midlands buoyed by a record of just two defeats in their last 24 away games. That will be tested by a resurgent Nottingham Forest outfit, who have won their last two under new boss Steve Cotterill, but Rosenior will back City to emerge on top. "It's all about belief and confidence," he said. "I can't wait for the game to come on Saturday. They'll be delighted because they've got a new manager and won two out of two but we're confident too and will go there looking for three points. "I'm not concerned whether they've got a new manager in. They'll be wary of us I'm sure because we're on a very good run." City can expect to be backed by around 2,000 supporters as they travel to the City Ground on Saturday as a feel-good factor builds around Pearson's men. Rosenior witnessed it first hand when he appeared before the Beverley branch of the Official Supporters Club this week and he hopes fans can share their ambitions for a big season. "I hope fans are starting to believe in what we can achieve, I've believed it from the beginning," said Rosenior, a year on from joining City on a free transfer. "Look at a team like Norwich last season, they were sold out every game in the second half of last season, and if we can get that sort of support, it would make the KC an even tougher place to come to. "It's not just about the 11 players on the pitch, it's about the fans, the coaching staff and the board coming together to achieve something special this year." Well Said Liam !!!
I,m starting to really respect Rossi more then I used to. He certainly has good media skills. As for a legend in the making, maybe but he has a fair old way to go yet.
