Saints fan… I don’t want to jump the gun here and play-offs would be a great result. But looking at our form and some of the top teams dropping points, shouldn’t we be looking at automatic promotion?
Billy, London
Southampton travel to Wrexham tomorrow which could well send a message regarding the above. Southampton's run-in: Wrexham (A), Derby (H), Swansea (A), Bristol City (H), Blackburn (H), Ipswich (H), Preston (A).
Hull City 0-0 Coventry
Hull right-back Cody Drameh picks up a loose ball 30 yards from goal and takes a shot from a few yards closer on his less favoured left foot.
It remains 0-0.
Hull City 0-0 Coventry
Matt Crooks' evening is over and Kyle Joseph is on for the home side in his stead.
Hull City 0-0 Coventry
Into the final 10 minutes now.
Time for someone to step up and be a hero? Time for someone to put Coventry on the brink of ending their 25-year wait for Premier League football?
Hull City 0-0 Coventry
Matt Grimes looks to play a cute through ball for Ellis Simms but Ivor Pandur reads it and sprints off his line to gather in the Hull goal.
Hull City 0-0 Coventry

You’ve got to say you can’t see a goal the way this has gone.
But a point keeps Hull in a great spot with five games to go.
Hull City 0-0 Coventry
If this stays as is then Coventry will be 12 points clear of second (and third and fourth).
Hull City will stay fifth but will be just five points clear of seventh-placed Southampton, having played two games more.
Hull City 0-0 Coventry
Anyone for a Saints-Derby-Wrexham shootout for sixth? That last play-off place is wide open. Bring it on!
Chris (Saints fan), Marlborough
So wide open, Chris (just a point between the three of them), you wonder if another team below them might fancy joining the party... looking at Norwich here... and maybe, just maybe, some Roy Hodgson magic at Bristol City...
Hull City 0-0 Coventry
Coventry's first shot of the half sees Ellis Simms smash an effort high into the stand.
The league leaders haven't been at it in an attacking sense this evening.
Hull City 0-0 Coventry
That maybe sums up this half.
Matt Crooks tries to catch a Mo Belloumi pass down the line at the corner flag but gets tangled up with the pitch furniture (?) and the ball is out for a Cov throw.

All three have given us a great shift.
Can these new lads provide that extra burst of energy to nick this game?
But it would be a good point.
Hull City 0-0 Coventry
Triple change for Hull.
On come Mo Belloumi, John Lundstram and Lewis Koumas.
Hull City 0-0 Coventry
The away side's fans want a penalty for a handball by Lewie Coyle.
I think they maybe had a point.
No VAR in the Championship but the Sky Blues will likely have it next season...
Hull City 0-0 Coventry
The energy levels have been upped again.
Hull defender John Egan asks the fans for more noise after stopping a Cov attack.
Hull City 0-0 Coventry
Both of these sides have only drawn 0-0 twice in the league this season.
The first for both was in the season-opener between these pair in August.
Hull 0-0 Coventry

Hull played Haji Wright very well. He hardly got in the game.
So now a new challenge with this double change.
Hull City 0-0 Coventry
Cometh the hour (plus a few) cometh the man.
Coventry bring on Jack Rudoni, who has five goals in his past four games.
Striker Ellis Simms is also on.
Hull City 0-0 Coventry
From one end to the other.
Just when it looked like Hull were starting to dominate again Coventry nearly fashion a great chance of their own only for John Egan to intercept in the middle.
Hull City 0-0 Coventry
Matt Grimes is booked for the away side for a cynical tug on Amir Hadziahmetovic as the home side looked to spring forward after a great touch by Oli McBurnie.
Hull City 0-0 Coventry
As a Hull City fan since 1987, I've seen the bad times and I don't want to see the Tigers go through that again. Maybe have a couple more years in the Championship then go for promotion. Maybe wise given that article about money in the Championship this morning.
