Hull City manager Shota Arveladze has branded Bristol City a direct side and compared Nigel Pearson’s approach with that of Luton Town and Millwall.
City host Hull at Ashton Gate in their penultimate game of the season on Saturday with both teams neither in promotion contention nor at threat of relegation; the Robins can finish between 16-20, while their opponents 17-20.
Although the game can be reasonably billed as a “dead rubber”, individuals still need to perform with the summer approaching as City are set for another transfer window of considerable restructuring in the squad, particularly with individuals departing.
