"Four wins during a five-match unbeaten run have been eye-catching enough but when you consider those victories have come against Wrexham, Millwall, West Bromwich Albion and Middlesbrough it is time we took notice. Those victories have also come without the Championship's joint second top scorer, Joe Gelhardt, who may still be out for at least another fortnight before he can add to his 10 goals, while winger Mohamed Belloumi has also joined the casualty list."
"the Tigers have quietly sneaked into fourth place, two points outside the automatic promotion places. "I'm very pleased because we are playing well and we will try to push this but it will not be easy because everyone is struggling with injuries," said Jakirovic after Monday's win at Middlesbrough. A title winner in his native Bosnia as well as Croatia, he knows how to get the job done."
New Year's Eve offers time to study league tables and fixtures as 2026 approaches. Hull City have won four of five matches, beating Wrexham, Millwall, West Bromwich Albion and Middlesbrough. Those results arrived without joint second top scorer Joe Gelhardt and with winger Mohamed Belloumi injured. Hull sit fourth, two points outside the automatic promotion places, under manager Sergej Jakirovic. Jakirovic has prior title-winning experience in Bosnia and Croatia and praised his players while warning that widespread injuries complicate progress. Limited January transfer ability will test the squad's capacity to sustain their run. Stoke have fallen from second to tenth after recent defeats.
