Hull City have proved they can compete with anyone in the Championship, says boss Ruben Selles.
The Tigers have pulled themselves five points clear of the relegation zone with a run of just one defeat from their past five games.
"Our competitiveness is even bigger - everyone wants to play together and to compete because they know they can compete against anyone and everyone is looking forward to the next game," Selles told BBC Radio Humberside ahead of the home game against Oxford United on Wednesday.
"I don't think of it as one defeat from five, I just think it's a good thing the team is more competitive.
