Hull City

FOOTBALLERS and their jaded limbs may not agree but there has always been something special about the Easter weekend.

What does your football ground look like from the sky?

Hull City manager Nigel Adkins could not believe his team left Middlesbrough pointless after a couple of big incidents in their 1-0 defeat at the Riverside Stadium.

Middlesbrough manager Tony Pulis hopes his players can build their confidence after ending a run of four consecutive home defeats by denting Hull City’s Championship top-six hopes.

Britt Assombalonga’s 13th goal of the season kept Middlesbrough’s play-off hopes alive as they beat Hull 1-0.

FOR the more pedantic among us, the Championship is not quite into ‘must-win’ territory.

THE key for Marcelo Bielsa and Chris Wilder amid the pressure-cooker atmosphere of a race for the Premier League that has pitted Leeds United against Sheffield United is to remain calm and collected, according to four-time promotion winner Steve Bruce.

STEVE BRUCE puffs out his cheeks when talk turns to tomorrow’s impending landmark.

MUCH like at the top end of the Championship, there is plenty of swapping of positions going on at the summit of our Yorkshire Post Power Rankings list this Spring between Sheffield United and Leeds United.

And here we have it, another twist and another turn in the race for Championship promotion and survival.

Hull City manager Nigel Adkins is refusing to rule out his side from gatecrashing the Sky Bet Championship play-offs after the 2-1 win over Wigan.

Jordy De Wijs headed a late winner to give Hull City victory over relegation-threatened Wigan and keep them in Championship play-off contention.
