With 8 of our last 9 fixtures crammed into April, it is make or break time for the Targers. Hull City v Bristol Derby V Hull City Huddersfield v Hull City Hull City v Wolves Reading V Hull City Hull City V Leeds Hull City V Brentford Bolton V Hull City What does everyone predict & think will need to get into the Auto spots? I personally believe top spot is gone, with Burnley being capable of seeing themselves over the line now.
More positivity on the pitch with 2 starting up front at home. A bit of luck. plenty of twists and turns. Burnley top spot. 2nd up for grabs. see us in play offs
Hull City v Bristol - 2-0 W Derby V Hull City - 1-0 L Huddersfield v Hull City 1-2 W Hull City v Wolves 1-1 D Reading V Hull City 1-1 D Hull City V Leeds 2-1 W Hull City V Brentford 3-1 W Bolton V Hull City 1-2 W 17 points from 24. Can't see it being enough, for us to realistically have a chance we would need to win 7 of those 8 AND hope that Boro and Brighton stack it (hint, they won't). We've ****ed it, basically, theres too much going against us so our best bet is to hope we don't get Derby in the playoffs and hope we build some momentum.
I think we need to win every one of those home games or we can forget about automatic.. probably need to win at least 2 of the away ones too.
When everything is said and done we should have enough to win every one of those games if taken in isolation of their cumulative importance. So let's just take them one at a time and hope that the players find something they lost, that our defence is at its very best and that the manager gets some luck. Other contenders can hurt each other, we must take it one game at a time and make sure we simply look after ourselves. UTT
The last time we were chasing a realistic automatic promotion chance with 9 games to be played in April was back in the Carter era. Then we finished Champions in 48/49.
Yeah, well I'd like to see a repitition of that but based on what Bruce has served up since early 2014, I suspect we'll not be champions and I fear for our chances of promotion. Please, please prove me wrong!
The last time we were chasing a realistic automatic promotion chance with 8 games to be played in April was back in the Waggy/Chiltern era of goals galore. Finished Champions in 65/66.
Those predicting wins in games must also be predicting that we can score two goals in a match.im afraid that looks very unlikely.i think city will (unluckily fade away in the first play off games)we play ok but not enough goals in us, we've been like it for years now
A win tomorrow is vital if we are still to have any chance of the autos. Personally feel that Burnley will finish top, with most likely Boro finishing second, but genuinely feel that we still are in a with a good shout for second ourselves. 7 points from the next 3 games and auto's are on, anything less then it's the play offs for City. Hope Abel and Mo have found their shooting boots, Akpom will need to chip in, and anything from Diomande and Aluko would be a bonus.
Those were exciting times. We scored 109 goals and finished four points ahead of Millwall. My family had moved to a village near Darlington and I used to hitch hike back to Hull for games during school holidays. I was on the Saskatchewan Soccer Association coaching staff for ten years and in that time, I met Derek Posse who played for Millwall when they won promotion, he was with the British Columbia association.
Was the after game celebrations sobriety test saying 'Saskatchewan Soccer Association' three times, fast?
