Ahead of Saturday's game at the KC Stadium, we
caught up with Daisy from the Hull blog
HCAFC News.
She gives us her views on the Tigers' start to the season, Steve Bruce, Shane
Long, the
Baggies
and more. You can follow Daisy on Twitter

It's been
a disappointing first few months of the season for Hull with Steve Bruce's men
currently hovering around the wrong end of the table. What's been the main
reason for the Tigers' poor start and are you confident the club will turn it
around?
I think it could have something
to do with the amount of players we brought into the squad which disrupted how
we play and Bruce is still trying to figure out his best team after injuries to
key players.
Are the
majority of Hull fans still happy with Steve Bruce?
Yes, everyone I have spoken to
is still very happy with Bruce as our manager and he has the fans full backing.
Was the Europa
League experience enjoyable or in hindsight was it something the club could have
done without?
When we initially got Europa
League football I feared that it would be a bad thing for us with the amount of
games that would've had potentially have to play. But when it came around it was
a great experience to be involved with and I was very proud to say that I was
there for both home games.
To most
neutrals it was a strange move but what did you make of the club's decision to
sell former Baggie Shane Long just six or so months after signing him?
For the amount of money we got
for him it was a great deal for us despite him being our best striker we
couldn't say no to the amount of money we got for him.
What team and
tactics are we likely to see from City on Saturday?
We played quite defensively
against Everton last night so I would expect more attacking tactics from City,
with maybe another striker up top to go out and win the game.
Any particular
Hull weakness Albion should be looking to exploit?
Defensively we look vulnerable
this season, our best season last year was Curtis Davies but he has been off his
game so far this season.
Player of the
season so far?
Andy Robertson - he has been a
fantastic signing.
Anyone been
particularly disappointing?
Curtis Davies - he hasn't got to
his top form yet this season.
Prediction for
Hull's season?
14/15th position, just outside
of the relegation battle.
Prediction for
Albion's season?
Similar position to Hull.
Premier League
champs?
Chelsea.
Relegated?
Burnley, Leicester and Palace.
Prediction and
thoughts on Saturday's game?
Hull to win 2-1, If Jelavic and
Hernandez play up front together I think they will create lots of chances to
score after they showed good link up play earlier in the season before Jelavic
got injured. I think that Berahino will a big threat against us and if he is
given an opportunity I feel that he could punish us.
