PROMOTION DREAMS
Hull City are on the verge of getting promoted back to the Premier league, and their manager Steve Bruce has sounded extremely confident about their chances this season. A late push from the club has helped them get into the second place in the table with only a few matches remaining. The team have a four-point advantage over third placed Watford, whose form in recent weeks has been threatening to dislodge Hull City from the second automatic promotion place. Hull have managed just two wins in the last five matches, but Bruce is confident that they will be able to hold on the challenge from Watford.
Hull City could clinch promotion to the top flight this weekend depending upon the results. They will be playing against Barnsley, while Watford will be playing against Leicester City. If Watford do not manage victory against Leicester, then Hull will be promoted automatically to the Premier league. However, should Watford get a positive result against Leicester, then Bruce will have to wait for another weekend to see if he can once again managing the top flight.
Bruce has said that it is time his team forgot about Watford and focused on their own results because the future is in their hands.
“We’re in a wonderful position and it’s important that we stay positive. We’re four points ahead, there’s two games left and we need to win one of them. Who wouldn’t have taken that (our current position) a month ago let alone at the start of the season? We’ve got to get it in our minds that we have to go to Barnsley and get a result. If we do that then we’re promoted. Forget about what Watford do, it’s all about us,” said Bruce. Cardiff recently managed to secure the title after the 1-1 draw with Burnley.
