The City Ground lived up to its name again as the Tigers claimed their 5th consecutive league victory there last Saturday, coming away with a 2-0 victory after a complete performance.
This Friday night City head to the capital on FA Cup duty as they face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. The pressure is off City and even the most loyal fan would struggle to see how we will be in the hat for the 6th round. Fingers crossed Nigel has a plan and we can cause a big upset.
Next Tuesday nights trip to Middlesbrough is likely to receive much more focus from the management as the Tigers go in search of more valuable points to strengthen their league position.
Here’s your update from the trust this week

Ryan Mason retires
This week we heard the sad news that Ryan Mason has announced his retirement from football.
This week we heard the sad news that Ryan Mason has announced his retirement from football.
The City midfielder, 26, suffered a fractured skull against Chelsea in 2017. He had been hoping to make his return to playing soon,but a recent CT scan showed the injury’s effects were more serious than had previously been realised.
HCST wish Ryan and his family all the best for the future, and are certain that there will be a football-releated role for him.

Development Review
After two heavy defeats the under 18 side showed their character to bounce back and register a 3-1 victory last Saturday against Crewe Alexandra at Bishop Burton. The City goals came from Matty Jacob, Dan Hawkins and Keane Lewis-Potter in the first half. This Saturday they take on Huddersfield Town’s under 18 at the Canalside development at 11:00.

It has been a disappointing week for the under 23s in which they played well in two games and ended up losing them both. Last Friday their interest in the Premier League Cup was ended by Brighton & Hove Albion in a match that was notable for all three goals in the 0-3 defeat came from second half penalties. Last Monday Sheffield United were the visitors in the league and came away with a 1-2 victory. Both sides were evenly matched but the catalyst for The Blades was the second half introduction of full welsh international David Brooks who set up one goal and scored himself with the last kick of the match after performing an outrageous flick. Liam Edwards was on the score sheet for The Tigers
On Monday afternoon the under 23 side travel to Sheffield Wednesday’s Middlewood training ground for a 14:00 kick off and then on Friday they head up to Sunderland for a 19:00 kick off at Epplewood Colliery ground.
