Tim Walter shares his big Hull City hope and assesses West Brom challenge
Hull City have won just three times in their opening 14 games of the season
Hull City head coach Tim Walter says Sunday’s home clash with West Brom is not a must-win. But Walter has stressed it is a game his players will be determined to win and he hopes for a little bit of luck to go their way.
City have not won in their last six games with their 1-0 defeat at Oxford United on Tuesday proving especially damaging, not least because they lost star man Mohamed Belloumi to injury, but also because the away supporters turned vociferously on their manager in thee second half, calling for him to lose his job.
That hasn’t happened, with Walter retaining the backing of owner Acun Ilicali, despite a dismal start to the season with just three wins in the opening 14 games, including an early Carabao Cup exit at the hands of Sheffield Wednesday.
Luck has been something badly deserting City this season, both on and off the pitch, and Walter hopes Lady luck will be shining on them against the Baggies.
Walter, though, insists despite the pressure on him, and his team, the visit of Carlos Corberan’s Baggies is a chance to end this run, put a smile or two back on faces and ease the worry going into into the international break.
“So we must win, hey? We must win. We always must win,” he joked. “We could have won the last games as well because we were able to win those games so, and that’s the point that we can win the game.
