Hull City forwards have a great chance to rise, but the backs will have to show considerable improvement before they can settle down in the premier company. Hull City's forwards, though not exactly flashy, are a strong, useful pack, and developed a nice, smooth combination on Tuesday. Hull City's backs, however, are not so satisfactory, and it will take a good deal of polishing before they can hope to shine in the premier company. Middlesbrough's forwards, on the other hand, are steady and reliable, and should prove useful to the team.
