Hull City midfielder Regan Slater is firing back at doubters, insisting the Tigers' play-off dream is far from over. Despite a frustrating six-game winless streak that has seen Hull slip out of the top six on goal difference—dropping behind Wrexham—Slater remains defiant. Fans may be fearing a repeat of last season's near-miss, but the 26-year-old midfielder isn't buying the negativity.

"No, I wouldn't agree with that at all," Slater told BBC Radio Humberside, dismissing claims the team has run out of steam. "Everyone's going to have dips in form, but as long as we bounce back on Saturday, that's all that matters."

The stakes couldn't be higher as Hull prepare to host Norwich City at the MKM Stadium this weekend. With the play-off race tightening, Slater knows there's no room for error. "It's pretty much all or nothing really. If we don't win on Saturday, the season's done and that's not something we want at all," he said, his tone urgent but focused.

Slater is also calling on the Tigers faithful to keep the faith, even as tensions rise. "We obviously just need the fans to get right behind us, regardless of what happens. It's not done until that final whistle goes," he added, acknowledging that the crowd's energy could be the difference-maker.

With goal difference potentially playing a deciding role in the playoff chase, Slater revealed the team will rely on their coaching staff for live updates from Wrexham's match. "Goal difference could be massive. It's important we know what we need to know. It could be a case of needing one more goal or whatever," he explained, showing a tactical awareness that could prove crucial in the season's final stretch.

For Hull City, Saturday's clash isn't just another game—it's a chance to reignite a season that many thought was slipping away. And with Slater leading the charge, the Tigers are ready to roar back.
