Another tough away game

Two sides separated in the table just by goal difference meet at Hull on Saturday and the Tigers hope to maintain the momentum reflected in their 2-1 victory over Leicester City midweek.   At home they have won three matches, drawn one and lost one.  Last Saturday they won 3-2 at Birmingham City.

Assistant manager Dean Holden said: ‘ It's up to us to keep that going now. There's not much turnaround before the weekend. We've got one prep day to get ready for a totally different game against Charlton. We know what type of energy and direct style at times under Nathan, and everybody knows the way Nathan's teams are going to play, so we know we've got a totally different game to prepare for at the weekend, but the training ground will be rocking over the next couple of days and and we need to keep that going.'

Now assistant boss to Sergej Jakirovic at the MKM Stadium, Holden spent a short spell at The Valley, joining in December 2022 and seeing him steer the club away from relegation before losing his job early in the following season, and praised the club's supporters for their backing as he prepares to come up against them once more.

'It's a fantastic football club, I loved my time there,' Holden told Hull Live. 'It should have gone on for longer, but for other reasons I won't go into (it didn't), but the crowd really got behind me there, I felt the love and support from them, and it'll be nice to see them on Saturday.'

CAS Trust reckon that Hull are dangerous going forward but leaky at the back: https://www.castrust.org/2025/10/ipswich-heroes-travel-north-again/
