Tigers' play-off destiny in their own hands
TL;DR
Hull City remains in sixth place in the play-off race after Wrexham's loss, holding a four-point lead. With only four games left, a win against Birmingham could solidify their position.
Hull City's defeat at Sheffield United on Saturday may have caused a few Tigers fans to worry about their play-off push.
A game they dominated for large parts went away from them after a red card for John Lundstrum late on. They went on to lose 2-1 and the chasing pack had a chance to take advantage.
Wrexham's defeat at Birmingham on Sunday, however, means Sergej Jakirovic's side are still sixth and four points clear of the Red Dragons, with Derby a further point back, and all three teams having played 42 games.
With just four games to go it would be quite a turnaround if one of the chasers could overhaul the Tigers, and they could further tighten their grip on a play-off spot with a win at home to Birmingham on Saturday (15:00 BST), then head to struggling Leicester three days later.
Maximum points in those two games against Midlands opposition could pretty much seal the Tigers' top-six spot.
One thing is for sure, this play-off race is still very open, but Hull City have it in their hands and at this stage of the season that is all you can ask for - it's a case of catch us if you can, Wrexham and Derby.
