The Tigers Down Under

A hugely spirited win against Sunderland gives City some breathing room to the bottom 3, and the game in hand over Derby takes place this coming Tuesday night against Cardiff City, a side City have a strong run of form against.________________________________________________Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAusFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi...Instagram: hull.city.aus

Another frustrating home performance as City started the game well but withdrew into their shells following the opening goal against Norwich. The less said about that Burnley game the better as City look to bounce back with a tough fixture against Sunderland who will be smarting after a late loss to Leeds.________________________________________________Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAusFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi...Instagram: hull.city.aus

Will we ever win at home again? Despite a strong showing against Stoke City still slumped to defeat at home, and with Burnley and Norwich to come, it proves to be a tough prospect for City to gain points.________________________________________________Twitter: https://twitter.com/HullCityAFCAusFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussi...Instagram: hull.city.aus

The Tigers Down Under look back on the first half of the 2019/20 season in the last season of the 2010s to be reviewed. Grant McCann replaced Nigel Adkins in the summer, and the first half of the season actually had City looking in reasonable shape to finally push on and make the play offs.

Despite a disappointing defeat to QPR, City responded in style with a thumping win against Sheffield United 3-0 in what may have been our best victory in quite some time. A busy end to the transfer window has seen a number of players arrive, with more promised. Stoke this weekend is just as vital, with the teams level on points and the prospect of pulling away from danger for the victor.

A big clash against Millwall resulted in maximum points for City as the pull out of the relegation zone and towards safety continues under Ruben Selles. CIty are getting busy in the transfer window with Gelhardt and Amrabat signing, Lincoln and Joseph imminently signing, and Sorba Thomas linked. QPR Wednesday morning promises to be an important fixture at home, with a much sterner test Saturday against Sheffield United.

A familiar feeling as City crash out of the Cup, at least this time with the excitement of a penalty shoot out. In the transfer market, deals are moving typically slowly with Millwall looming this weekend as a game reinforcements would be welcomed for.

Only a point gained from two fixtures but a stirring comeback against Leeds caps off the week in positive fashion. Wheels starting to turn in the transfer market give City a week of progress ahead of Doncaster in the Cup.

A loss and a win against Preston and Blackburn makes it two wins in three and a first clean sheet since Millwall to cement real signs of improvement for City under Selles. The games keep coming thick and fast with Boro and Leeds to come this week.

How good is that winning feeling! Three points secured against Swansea not only takes City off the bottom of the table but out of the relegation zone for Christmas. Preston and Blackburn to come round out the year with the promise of putting some real space between City and the bottom 3.
