Coventry City v Hull City: Positivity key as Tigers look to finally make dominance count
Both teams are chasers in the Championship play-off race but by Thursday only the Sky Blues will have a game in hand on the top six.
Hull have to win out and hope two from fifth-placed West Bromwich Albion, sixth-placed Norwich City and Coventry, currently eighth, stumble in the last eight days. The Tigers missed a chance to make up ground on the top six when they drew 0-0 draw at Watford on Saturday.
“We have to win the next game,” reflected coach Rosenior. “Nothing’s changed. I told the players if we’d won and Norwich had won (they drew 1-1), we’d be in the same position.
“One of the players corrected me and said, ‘No, gaffer, we’re a point closer to West Brom.’ That’s exactly the kind of mentality I want.
“They know we have control of games and they know how dominant we can be.
“But it’s now on them and me to make sure when we do get those opportunities, we take them because I think that’s the only thing missing.
