To Hull and Back: A Hull City Podcast

OOOOOoooooo scaaaaary! City's first half certainly was - but, like a slasher villain in the final act, they suddenly recovered and provided a much improved showing in the second, only a worldie from Julio Enciso denying the Tigers all three points. The Gang discuss the draw with Ipswich on Halloween, discuss whether it is finally time to change up the formation full-time, before previewing a trip to the English champions.

The Gang convene to discuss the defeat and how it manages to set us in good stead for some huge fixtures after the international break, and look at the Tigers who will be representing their country over the next few weeks.
