I meant to post this last week but forgot. After we beat Leeds 2-0 in late December, during a TV interview, he said that both 'Cardiff and Hull' were by far the best 2 teams in the division (or words to that affect). Seems he knew then who was going up......
Frank Zola,gave a similarly glowing report,after we went to Watford,two games later"Their isn't another team like Hull,in this division".
They were already playing that formation.I remember reading an interview,with one of their players(can't remember which one)giving it large on how they the only team playing 352,and how the championship wouldn't/couldn't handle it. He was wrong
Andy Dawson said the same thing to me with complete confidence in January time. That we'd definitely go up with Cardiff.
