'Core of Hull's promoted team vital for team spirit and togetherness'‎

Regan Slater told me pre-match that togetherness and getting the basics right were the key factors to Hull City getting something out of a game against free-scoring Chelsea. The Tigers stalwart was spot on and, along with his team-mates, he certainly delivered. Yes defensive mistakes helped get them back into the game, but it was also their work-rate and confidence that put a vulnerable Chelsea back-line under pressure.
