'Sense the unrest' - Hull City ace makes big claim ahead of crucial West Brom clash

Sunday's home meeting with West Brom is the biggest game so far of this fledgling Championship season, according to Hull City's Kasey Palmer.

City are without a win in their last six games, with three draws and three defeats in that run, the last of which came at Oxford United on Tuesday night, when Tim Walter was jeered by the away supporters, having seen his team booed off last weekend against bottom side Portsmouth.

That result coupled with Wednesday's results in the Championship saw City drop further down the table with Walter's men only outside the bottom three on goal difference. And they could find themselves below the dreaded drop line come kick-off against Albion.

Palmer admits the players are acutely aware of the frustration amongst supporters, especially those who made the long trek to the Kassam Stadium in midweek to see their side dominate in the first half and pass up some good chances before succumbing to defeat in the second.

The visit of the Baggies, themselves having drawn the last six games, presents City with a chance to end that torrid run and lift some of the gloom going into the final international break of the calendar year.

"I think Sunday is obviously massive," Palmer told Hull Live. "I don't think we can shy away from the fact that we haven't won in what is it, six games - six games now without a win, we've lost (at Oxford).

"It's as big as it's probably been so far this season to put a result in front of our fans, which is massive as well because you can sense the unrest amongst them (on Tuesday) and obviously on the weekend (against Portsmouth).

"I can't really shy away from how big Sunday is; it's a must-win game. I think from what I've seen every day and training on the pitch, everyone's putting in one hundred per cent. We're trying to execute the game plan, but at the minute, we're falling short for whatever reason, whether that is mistakes or missing chances. It's just that something doesn't seem to be working at the minute.

"I think it's clear because everyone can see that, so hopefully, on Sunday, things will change, we get a result, and then hopefully, we can start looking up rather than down because, at the minute, it's a bit flat."
