Tigers hunt promotion
HAVING helplessly watched Hull’s spectacular collapse from the sidelines last season, Matt Ingram is revelling in the dramatic turnaround in fortunes and believes this year’s Tigers have the makings of champions.

A 3-0 loss at Cardiff four days later – their sixth in a row – confirmed a bottom-place finish, representing a remarkable fall from grace after flirting with the Championship playoffs at the turn of the year.
Remarkable
