Legendary ex-Hull City boss backs Tigers to continue recovery
City finally got their first win since late April with an impressive second half recovery at Stoke City on Friday night
Legendary former Hull City manager Brian Horton has backed the Tigers to build on their first win of the season at Stoke City on Friday night when they host Cardiff City at the MKM Stadium this weekend.
City had endured a poor start to the season under new boss Tim Walter but finally got that elusive opening success after coming from behind to see off the Potters 3-1, having been a goal down at the break in Staffordshire.
Saturday’s 2-0 home defeat to Leeds United was their fifth in six games with their only point – and goal – coming in the derby at Swansea City, a result which brought the end of Erol Bulut’s tenure in South Wales, just three months after signing a new contract.
Horton, who will be at the MKM Stadium on Saturday as City celebrate their 120th anniversary, hopes Tim Walter’s men can finally kick on and get their season up and running, and add to the Bluebirds’ woes.
“Well, it’s a tough league and they’ve had a tough start with the new manager, hasn’t he?,” Horton told Hull Live. “That was his first victory at the Stoke on Friday night.
