City have big chance to get rid of demons

Make no mistake about it, watching Hull City at the MKM Stadium in recent seasons has largely been a chore, and anything but a pleasurable experience for those match-going supporters.

City's form at The Circle has been a major reason why they've largely battled against relegation since returning to the Championship, and was arguably the contributing factor to them missing out on the play-offs last term.

A quick scan of the form table shows City remain firmly planted at the bottom when it comes to home results this season.

But Monday's victory over Preston made it five wins this term. Still a pitiful effort, but things have gradually started to move in the right direction. Turning around a ship the size of City was never going to be a quick manoeuvre.
