Nigel Pearson was pretty decisive when asked this week to spell out the challenge his Bristol City side face as they bid to extend their unbeaten run to 12 matches this weekend and climb their way further up into the mid-table area of the Championship.
"They'll be tough opponents for us," Pearson said, having managed now head coach Liam Rosenior when he was a player at Hull. "They will commit a lot of players forward, they've got a really good goalscorer. In Oscar, he's a player who certainly knows the areas to get into, he's normally in the middle of the goal and he's normally there to convert chances."
The Oscar in question is Oscar Estupinan, the Colombian who's Hull's top scorer with 12 goals, but hasn't found the target in his last six matches and one of the fundamental issues with the Rosenior-version of Hull, having taken over from Shota Arveladze in November, has been a lack of goals.
