I have been pondering this for a few weeks now and in all honesty I cannot find a game we have left that I think with confidence we can call a three pointer. So I ask myself were do I think we could gain 3 points and ease the pressure of Phil and the players to give them a bit of confidence. Below is a list of our remaining fixtures and as the prospect of relegation grows nearer. It looks tough!!
This is not me been negative, but we have to be realistic, time to wake up and smell the coffee. Hull are in trouble and things are just getting worse with our growing injury list. I don't want to start a witch hunt but I think the board need to come out and tell us if they are realistic in there intentions to stay in the league.
Remaining fixtures are as follows;
Blackburn H
Fulham A
Newcastle H
Wigan A
Portsmouth H
M,boro A
Sunderland A
Liverpool H
Aston Villa A
Stoke H
Bolton A
then to cap it all Man U home last day of season.
So we play 3 out of the top 4 teams along with 4/5 teams who are also scrapping for survival, not pretty reading is it. Many Hull fans would think we have done well to be were we are this season and im one of them, but after the start we had why should we now take the attitude that o"well it was good while it lasted. I for one am not happy and would love to stay up and build for another campaign.
I'm sure the board are looking at what's going on and I just wonder how long they will leave it before they act, after all its a business as well and the 30mill parachute payment is chicken feed compared to the money for staying up, and we would loose a lot of our "top players" if we went down.
Come on Hull its time to fight and show some grit and determination now to keep us were we have fought so long to get.
