Hull and Coventry both away- Reasons to be cheerful 11:34 - Apr 2 with 706 views

1. We play-

Hull (away) on Saturday 27th and Coventry (away) on Tuesday 30th

BUT we will be well rested, our previous match on Saturday 13th at home to Middlesbrough. So a clear two weeks of rest to recover from knocks and for McKenna to do his coaching magic. Plus there's a chance that Burns or Hirst might recover.

2. Hull have a tough schedule:

Sat 20th April Watford away
Wed 24th April Coventry away
Sat 27th April Ipswich home

So 2 very tough away games in short order followed by Ipswich (rested for 2 weeks) just 3 days later.

3. Coventry have an even tougher schedule:

Sun 21st April Man Utd (FA cup semi-final)
Wed 24th April Hull City home
Sat 27th April Blackburn away
Tue 30th April Ipswich home

So that's 3 crunch, hard games in 6 days followed by us just 3 days later.

I think we'll take at least 4 points from these two away matches and that might just be enough to seal automatic promotion.

Can I add that Hull are not great at home - they have (or had) a better away record than home record - even taking into account the mess we made of them earlier in the season. I wonder whether their pitch might be a bit of a "leveller" and not necessarily suited to their style of attackers
