BUT TIGERS MUST KEEP FEET TO FLOOR

Platform built for unexpected achievement

FEW people associated with Hull City would have predicted the Tigers to be sitting fifth in the Championship after 15 games of the season, especially given the turbulent summer.

City sit there on merit. It's no fluke, nobody's done them any favours, nor have they played a flurry of games more than anyone else in the league.

Sergej Jakirovic's side deserves to be fifth. They've played some wonderful football, and only Coventry have scored more than their 26 goals. Both the Tigers and Sky Blues have been the great entertainers in the opening three months of another captivating season.
