The Sky Bet Championship games just keep on coming at the moment with the Whites facing Hull City this evening in the second tier.

It’s a game that represents the latest chance for us to get another three points in the bag and after a few draws we could certainly do with that.

Indeed, we appear to have lost a bit of sharpness in front of goal with the likes of Pablo Hernandez and Kemar Roofe missing of late.

For Marcelo Bielsa, though, those injuries are not the reason behind the tail off in form.

Via the Yorkshire Evening Post, he had this to say in his most recent press conference:

“Of course I miss the presence of Bamford, Roofe and Pablo. I regret that the injuries happened at the same time. When they were inside the team we had more points with them than without them.

“But even if I take into this account it’s very hard for me to say that we didn’t get as many points because they were not here.”

Bielsa is a confident man and certainly believes in his methods and the quality of the squad.

He’s almost being bullish here, then, and hopefully that confidence rubs off on the whole senior side ahead of some very important games.
