Squad

Daniel Lawrence keeps Hull City in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad

10 seasons of Benjamin Cooper

65 appearances across 10 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and Hull City know what they have.

Market

Only the photograph left for Andreas Bauer

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Andreas Bauer will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Hull City the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

Real improvement from Daniel Lawrence at Hull City

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Daniel Lawrence is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Words at Hull City training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Quincy Janssen is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match

Hull City see off Huddersfield Town

Three points for Hull City, 2‑1 the final word against Huddersfield Town in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Julian Lainer at his very best

Marked 8.17. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Hull City.

Player ratings

Oliver Hall runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Steven Fassnacht is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Hull City has been clear about where Steven Fassnacht stands, which is more than many ever get.

In brief
