It's been a busy first half of the Championship season for Hull City's players, who are now enjoying a few days off to rest weary bodies and minds before returning to work later this month to focus on perfecting Liam Rosenior's style of play.
City's first 21 games of the season have been eventful, to say the least with the Tigers now on their third manager of the campaign after Shota Arveladze's departure at the end of September, Andy Dawson's eight-game stint as caretaker boss and the recent arrival of Rosenior.
Rosenior has given his players time off this week to recuperate, with some jetting off on holiday and others keen to spend time at home and relax following Saturday's dramatic injury-time defeat to Reading ended their mini-unbeaten run under their new boss – Jacob Greaves for one was off to London to meet former teammate and pal Keane Lewis-Potter before heading off to Paris for a couple of days.

When City's players return to Cottingham, they'll be preparing for the week-long trip to Turkiye beginning on November 27 where they'll spend a significant chunk of the World Cup break at a warm-weather training camp in Antalya, where they'll be joined by a lucky group of supporters who will get to watch Rosenior put his players through their paces at an open training session in the resort.
During that trip, City will play two games against European opposition, one of which comes against Champions League-level quality opponents and the other versus İstanbul Başakşehir F.K, themselves reeling from a 7-0 thrashing at home to Galatasaray at the weekend.
City's players will return to the UK on December 4 where they'll be building up to the return of Championship football and the traditionally busy Christmas period, starting with the trip to Watford on December 11.
"We sat down as a staff before the game on Tuesday on Monday and went through what the schedule looks like, what it will look like when we go away to Turkiye," Rosenior told Hull Live.
"We've got a couple of games pencilled in that I'm sure will be announced in due course. It's a very difficult one because, in England, we don't have a winter break as big as this.
"In other parts of the continent, they do so it's about getting the rest time correct with the training time. There's going to be a lot of tactical work that we do, so it's a case of making sure all those things are aligned."
