Hull City 2 - Barnsley 1

Well it could be said that we are getting there, but maybe that would be speaking to soon!

Barnsley were unlucky to come away from a packed KC Stadium with nothing after a fast-paced, bruising encounter, of which the outcome never looked certain until the final whistle.

The atmosphere was markedly more electric than at previous matches, due in no small part to the sizeable travelling contingent, the sunny weather and the fact that Hull City fans are finally starting to believe they will be watching Championship football next season.
