Hull City continued to suffer major promotion jitters when they missed the chance to seal a return to the Premier League yesterday after losing 2-0 at relegation-threatened Barnsley.
The east coast club, who spent two seasons in the Premier League from 2008-10 having worked their way up from being in the fourth division in 2004, would have secured second spot in the second-tier Championship with a win.
Instead the race to join champions Cardiff City in going up automatically will go to the wire with Hull hosting the Welsh side next Saturday and third-placed Watford, a point behind, welcoming Leeds United in their final league game.
