Hull midfielder Robert Koren believes promotion is a real possibility given the make up of the Tigers team.
"We have some experienced players like myself so I think our squad is really good and skilful," he told BBC Radio Humberside.
Cotterill meanwhile, like those who have gone before him, is making a new left-back his first priority in the transfer market having seen Clint Hill recalled by QPR.
