Hull City 0-0 Coventry
Both teams made a good number of changes from the 11s that started their games on Friday, five for Hull and four for Coventry and I have to say it's probably reflected in the high tempo of this game.
Game number 41 of the league season for both but no signs of fatigue as Jay Dasilva sends in another teasing cross from the away team's left.
Hull 0-0 Coventry
Love to see Millwall come up, purely for bantz.
Steve, Dundee
Anyone but Millwall.
Barry, London
Slight difference of opinion there...
Hull City 0-0 Coventry
Ephron Mason-Clark shows great feet to drive in off the Cov left but then gives the ball to Haji Wright 20 yards out when it looked to be open for a shot.
The American is closed down.

But you get the sense now that Coventry have got this game back on more of an even keel.
Hull 0-0 Coventry
Being a Villa fan, I obviously want Coventry to come so we still have a local derby next season. But I think everyone knows they are coming up anyway, so Hull winning tonight I wouldn't mind as would love to see them come up rather than Ipswich.
Craig, Birmingham
Neutrals, removing Coventry from the equation (and, yes, they are not there yet... and judging by the first 35 minutes have some way to go still), of those clubs below them in the table and with a realistic shot of making second, who would you like to see join them in the Premier League (and why)?
Hull City 0-0 Coventry
Tatsuhiro Sakamoto is tripped by John Egan as he looks to race towards the Hull goal.
The referee plays advantage as the ball runs loose for Victor Torp to shoot from 20 yards but it's too close to Ivor Pandur in the Tigers goal.

The referee is going to have to do something here.
Coventry keep breaking up the game. They just keep running into players.
If he books someone, it’ll stop it.
Hull City 0-0 Coventry
The fifth-placed home side are have fallen to three defeats in their past six matches.
When you look at how the teams above them have faltered you wonder just how much better things would look if they'd just turned a couple of those into draws.
They're in top form this evening if, admittedly, they don't have the goal to show for it. So far.

It’s been calm for Hull.
There’s been some great defensive work from Oli McBurnie but we now need to get him involved more going forward.
Get the ball into him more and get him further up the pitch.
Hull City 0-0 Coventry
Coventry just starting to grow into this.
Have they weathered the worst of the Hull storm*?
*In a footballing sense, the weather is actually quite nice in Yorkshire this evening thankfully.
Hull City 0-0 Coventry
They've not been firing so far but make no mistake, Coventry have threats all over the pitch.
Jay Dasilva marauds forward from defence and plays a wicked ball across the face of the goal from the away team's left that is just ahead of Haji Wright in the middle.
Hull City 0-0 Coventry
The home side continue to press for an opener.
Carl Rushworth is off his line to gather a high ball at the second attempt but the ball is coming right back at Cov.

Image source, ShutterstockHull are quicker to the ball, quicker to move the ball.
They’re hungrier, their tempo is much better on the ball.
They look like the team who want to win this game at the moment.
You can tell Frank Lampard isn’t happy and City could do with a bit of reorganisation.
Hull City 0-0 Coventry
Hull are piling on the pressure at the moment.
I saw their game against Oxford on Friday when they drew 1-1 with Oxford and... Let's just say they didn't play this well then.
Hull City 0-0 Coventry
Image source, ShutterstockCarl Rushworth has had a great season for Coventry but he's got away with one here!
He comes out to intercept a cross but makes a right hash of it and is thankful to Liam Kitching for scrambling the ball away.
The away side race down the other end and Victor Torp drags their first shot of the night well wide.

You’ve got to be a fast learner in football and van Ewijk isn’t learning.
He’s been caught out a few times in that midfield and lucky there not to pick up a yellow card.
Needs to sharpen up.
Hull City 0-0 Coventry
Really good stuff from Hull so far.
They stream forward on the counter and Liam Millar switches for Joe Gelhardt on the Hull right.
The Leeds loanee hammers a shot over from outside the area.
Hull City 0-0 Coventry
Coventry get their first corner down their left but Haji Wright can't get high enough to make contact with the ball in.

City haven’t settled so far.
It’s been all Hull really.
Van Ewijk could do with being sharper.
Hull City 0-0 Coventry
Ten minutes played and the home side have had three shots to the league leaders' zero.
Bright start from the Tigers.
