Jakirovic: Back-to-back wins will be challenge at Birmingham

HULL City will again attempt to win successive Championship games when they travel to Birmingham City, with the aim of backing up their victory against Sheffield United.

The last time the Tigers strung more than one victory together came more than 12 months ago under the doomed tenure of Tim Walter, when his side beat Stoke, Cardiff and QPR in the space of a week at the end of September and beginning of October. City's inability to gain any level of consistency almost saw them relegated to League One last season, and while things are markedly better this term under Sergej Jakirovic, that frustrating lack of momentum is already causing some annoyance.

Jakirovic's men have been playing with confidence, and they look like a side on the cusp of being able to break out of last season's shadow, but until they can string results together, that feeling will not go away.
