Only a few months ago Massimo Luongo was playing every week as Sheffield were a few points from the play-off spots. Jackson Irvine was in inspired form, and a leader for Hull as they climbed the table. 

Now in February, Hull City are winless in eight matches and collapsed to 17th on the ladder, but Irvine has alt least been appointed skipper to try to lead them back into form.

Fans have been crying out for Luongo to be reinstated into Wednesday's starting XI after over a month without a victory. 

In the Championship it was a week to forget for the Aussies with none winning their matches in midweek.

Jackson Irvine and Callum Elder both played 90 minutes in Hull City's 3-0 loss to Blackburn. Later in the week Hull drew 4-4 with Swansea. Elder had a rather poor match while Irvine didn't add any assists or goals. 

Kenny Dougall was an unused sub for Barnsley in their 1-0 loss to Birmingham but played nine minutes off the bench in a 3-0 win against Fulham. Massimo Luongo was still sidelined due to injury and missed Sheffield Wednesdays defeats to Luton Town and Reading. 

Now off to some good news! In Scotland Lyndon Dykes scored his ninth goal of the season in Livingston's 2-1 win over St. Mirren, but couldn't penetrate the Rangers defence for 90 minutes in the 1-0 loss this morning.
