The Tigers have eight games remaining this season

Hull City goalkeeper Boaz Myhill has stressed that belief is the key to the Tigers' promotion challenge.

Myhill told BBC Radio Humberside: "We believe that we can win all of our remaining games, we might not win all of them but we believe we can."

Myhill is also aiming high on a personal level after being called up to the Wales squad for the first time.

He said: "Everyday I have been a footballer I've been thinking Premier League, that's why you play football."

The Tigers face struggling Colchester on Tuesday at Layer Road with the chance to plant themselves further into the frame for the end of season play-offs.

Myhill said: "We have given ourselves a real good chance. We have got some real tough games but I think we have got a chance.

"We believe in ourselves and if we can produce performances like we did on Saturday [in the 5-0 win over Southampton] we will have an exceptionally good chance.

Despite his confidence, the 25-year-old goalkeeper acknowledged that a couple of poor results could see the Tigers edged out of the promotion race.

"It's the business end of the season now and a win now or a draw or a defeat could mean the difference between getting there and not getting there," he added.

"It's about continuing what we have done for the entire season and hopefully that will be enough."
