Hull City have won just one game in 12 and ended a miserable November with a 3-0 defeat a Manchester United, a result that leaves them hovering just above the relegation zone.
There's little time to reflect on where it has all gone wrong – the Tigers are back in action at Everton on Wednesday night before a crunch clash at home to West Brom on Saturday.
