Hull City visit Accrington Stanley in League One tonight, with Grant McCann’s side hoping to consolidate their position at the top of the table.
Indeed, the Tigers are hitting form at a good time and few more spectacularly than George Honeyman.
While captain Richie Smallwood has tipped him as a strong contender to be Hull’s player of the season, coach Grant McCann has pointed to the hard work of his colleagues which helps make the midfielder “phenomenal”.
The Tigers go to Accrington Stanley tonight top of League One and unbeaten in six matches. Honeyman registered a ninth assist and third league goal this season in the 4-0 win at Portsmouth.
Such is their good form, several Hull City players featured our latest Yorkshire Post Team of the Week line-up.
And Hull boss Grant McCann saluted his triumphant side as they claimed their first away win over Portsmouth for a decade.
Two own-goals from Pompey defender Jack Whatmough, a stunning strike from midfielder George Honeyman and a late goal from substitute Josh Magennis did the damage as the rampant Tigers tore Pompey to shreds.
With Hull City in such good form, talk of transfers has been scant – but there’s still a lot happening in League One, with the Tigers’ promotion competitors having concluded some eye-catching deals.
