Hull’s recent record in August and September, the last two months of the season, does not make for pretty reading. Taking 2020 out of the equation (which finished in November due to the Covid lockdowns), the last five seasons have seen them lose 28 of their 32 fixtures. That’s an alarming statistic. https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/r ... e_vignette

We've lost to three really poor teams in the last three weeks ,I don't see that changing for the forth week sadly . I just hope its finally hitting home the magnitude of the job Smith needs to address next season .

Trying to find positives and one will be that the squad will have changed so much by the 1st day of preseason training that a new culture will hopefully develop. Its the first winter for a while where it isnt the same faces.

In fairness that is correct. Season 1 (half a season) Rovers were 11th and escaped relegation on points difference. Season 2 Rovers 11th and bottom but no relegation (Toronto pulled out). Season 3 6th but not a normal season due to COVID. Season 4 at the time of his sacking Rovers were 10th. McGuire took over and got us up to 8th.

Tony Smith is totally in love with himself and as long as you are too you'll get on fine.

He also got Rovers to 80mins from both Wembley and Old Trafford. Also the poor finish in 2020 was influenced by knowing there was no relegation

Could also argue a total unknown in Willie peters has done better than he had in just his first season.
