Hull City skipper Curtis Davies insists he doesn't get down over his critics.

Davies was heavily criticised for last week's defeat to Newcastle United.

"If someone says I was brilliant or I was poor, I'll take it with a pinch of salt," he said. "One day you'll be the king, the next you'll be the pauper that no-one wants to go near.

"It doesn't hurt because I'm my own harshest critic individually and also when I'm analysing the team."
