Hull City midfielder Jake Livermore says losing their Europa League qualifier to Lokeren would be a "disaster".
Steve Bruce's side must overturn a one-goal deficit at home to Belgian side Lokeren to seal a place in the Europa League group phase.
Livermore said: "We've got hungry players who want to play as many games as we can.
"To get to the group stages would be fantastic and it would be an absolute disaster to be frank with you, if we missed out.
"I don't think any club in the country has progressed more over the last two years than Hull, I can't think of anyone.
"Where we have come from, to where we are now, it's been fantastic and staying in Europe would help that momentum.
"This is a massive deal because it's the first time the club has been involved in something like this and it's a great experience to be part of.
"Hull's like a big village, everyone is in it together. You're reminded all the time what a big achievement this is for the club and the city. It's a massive step for the players."
