Hull City head coach Tim Walter says he is not getting worried despite his team being in the Championship's bottom three.

The 1-0 defeat by Luton Town was their eighth game without a win and saw them drop to 22nd and into the relegation zone.

But, ahead of Tuesday's home game with Sheffield Wednesday (19:45 GMT), the German believes it it too early to start panicking.

"We have 30 games to play and 30 games is a lot of points," he told 大象传媒 Radio Humberside.

"Everything can change in one week. The table is so close."

Walter, who replaced the popular Liam Rosenior in the summer, received criticism from some of the Tigers fans at the end of the game at Kenilworth Road.

This current eight-game stretch follows on from five matches without a win at the start of the season, with three straight victories in between the two difficult patches.

But beating the Owls could see them rise as high as 16th, if other results go their way too.

"The players work for each other, they run for each other, they invest everything on the pitch," said Walter.

"That is progress. That is the improvement. It's not normal if you're a new group that you fight for each other.

"But that's what I see and that's what you need as a team and a club."
