There seem to have been quite a few performances where Hull have deserved points and probably have shown more fight than Sunderland (bar Bournemouth away), Swansea and Palace.

Chap from Radio Hull suggested that Hull's issue was not a lack of fight but they would play well for 70 mins and ultimately not have enough quality to hold out for the points. He said that the fans recognise that their problems are so much bigger than whether Whelan is good enough to be a manager, and that the new man must be about to get some money to spend (even though that seems not to have been the plan this season) as it's unlikely that he could get much more out of the team existing.

Gary Rowett is being tipped again, and while Alec Ferguson's advice is apparently not to be out of work for too long I'd rather avoid Hull for the time being.
