Pearson seeking home comforts

13 April 2011 14:30
Hull boss Nigel Pearson believes home form is key if the Tigers are going to make the Championship play-offs. Corry Evans scored his second goal in two matches to gain a point at Swansea, but Pearson is demanding improvement at the KC Stadium, having picked up only six wins from 20 games there. Pearson said: "I believe we're a bit closer but we have to resolve our home form now. It's clear that our away form remains pretty good - 16 games unbeaten - but we've got three homes games left and we've got to try and win them. "That means we're going to have to drastically improve our home form and that's what we'll try to do. We may be reliant on results going for us elsewhere, but the most important thing is keeping our concentration on our own performances and keeping our season alive as long as we can." Hull, in 10th, are currently four points behind Leeds, who occupy the final play-off place. "If we sneak in there, we sneak in there. But whatever happens we'll be striving to put together performances that win us games," added Pearson.
