It was back down to Earth last Saturday as City failed to turn up at Birmingham, losing 3-0 which if anything flatted the visitors. Three points from away games at Ipswich and latterly Birmingham would have appeared a good return on paper but the contrast in the two performances is cause for concern.
Inconsistency is perhaps to be expected from a team near the bottom of the league but it makes it no less frustrating when a win at Birmingham would have seen City all but safe.
There’s no game this weekend due to international duty as England take on Holland and Italy.
Here’s your update from the Trust this week…

The under 18 side’s match last Saturday at Millwall was postponed but they were in action at Bishop Burton on Tuesday, when they defeated Burnley 2-1 thanks to goals from Keane Lewis-Potter and Josh Thacker. They are in action at Bishop Burton again tomorrow when they take on Queens Park Rangers in an 11:00 kick off.
There was no game for the under 23 side last week as the fixture scheduled at Crystal Palace did not survive the weather. They will next be in action at North Ferriby on Monday evening when they take on Bristol City in what is scheduled as a 14:00 kick off.
There is also an excellent piece in the Hull Daily Mail about the retirement of Frank Donoghue, at the grand old age of 79, who was instrumental in setting up a centre of excellence for Hull City youth. We wish Frank well. You can read the article here.
International Break – Go see a Local Team
With no City match due to the International Break those of you wanting a proper football fix rather than watching friendlies on the TV should consider the local non-league scene.
