Hull City 2 - Ipswitch 5

"BACK IN THE RELEGATION ZONE!"

Hull's hopes of avoiding relegation suffered a major setback as they were thrashed at home against Ipswich. Hull took the lead when Dean Windass smashed home after Stuart Elliott's header hit the bar, but Francis Jeffers levelled with a close-range finish.

Ipswich went ahead when Jaime Peters curled a shot that deflected in-off Sam Ricketts and Alan Lee fired in for 3-1. Jason de Vos poked in and Danny Haynes rifled home a fifth before Windass got a penalty after John Welsh was fouled.

However Hull boss Phil Brown said after the match that: "It isn't over by a long way. We've slipped into the bottom three but maybe that has given us a kick up the backside for Saturday against Preston. We are limited to who you can select and hopefully we can get that right. It is up to us to maintain that belief, stay together and force the belief into the supporters that we can stay up," he said defiantly.

Personally being optimistic I think that the result tonight means that what could have been achieved in 11 games now has to be achieved in 10 and that’s all I am going to say about tonight’s performance directly. Lets stick together, people will look to see how we handle adversity and if as fans we do it together and united, the team will follow. Well that is my optimistic viewpoint anyway!
