Agree- if only because his name scans really well with the ChittyChittyBangBang theme tune. There's a mental chant there somewhere. 'High, low, anywhere he goes- on Tommy's shots we can't depend...'.

Suspect he will be one of those players for whom it all just clicks one season (Akpom, C) and he gets a couple of big money moves off it but reverts to type.

Nah the obvious one if he went on a scoring spree would be Blondie's "One way or another" starting with obvious "Conway....with another...He's gonna find ya..." etc.

What's your take on Viveash. It all went belly up when he left us. Has he been somewhat sidelined since the new coaching staff was put in place, ie less important regarding training and decision making? To some degree, after a promising start, your drop off in form has coincided with the new set up.

Viveash is deeply involved to the best of our understanding.

Aside from Kim speaking about his role several times, he's often spotted, especially late in games, studying an ipad and in deep discussions with Kim whilst Hellberg listens intently.

Away from the football, there's also quite a bromance developing it seems? Kim is keen to immerse himself in English culture for which Adi embraces, taking him out to the darts amongst other things!

He's hardly ever in the media spotlight, but Adi freely admits he prefers it that way tbh, that's not a side of the job that he feels is really "him".

No Peaky Blinders hats, they are losing touch.

Yep, that sounds like Adi. Helberg is clearly an excellent (if not very pragmatic) coach... I wonder if Adi & him will clash over that. One thing that marked Coventry's success with Adi & Robins for me was pragmatism... if things weren't going well we'd reset the first 11 back to basics and build from there, and we'd often tactically surprise big opponents.

Helberg to me seems like a coach who has a singular way of playing but not quite the squad to really deliver it at the top end of the pitch. In those moments, you need players that will take risks to break the deadlock and I just don't see that happening for Boro.

Of course the prevailing opinion is you guys should have signed a striker, but equally a good manager knows what they have at their disposal and makes the best of it. I don't think you can say Helberg has done that, given the number of warnings Boro have had since facing us at home that they'd been found out.

‘The lions den where some fear to tread!’ Not us mate. Won 4-0.

 

[Briles]

God millwalls chants are shit

 

[rob9872]

Have Hull had reduced allocation or not sold out? Surely you'd sell a play off game?

 

[ccfcchris]

Lively start.

Nice to see that Adi has found someone new post divorce

Hull fans: Ryan Giles taking crosses in a playoff semi final second leg, now where have I heard that before? Oh no! OH NO!

I just remember the last ten minutes of that game, being nervous as hell, Middlebrough doing well to work the ball out left into space only for Giles to spank the ball over the cross bar, swear he had about five chances to put in a decent delivery

 

[Evo1883]

Il go with they havent sold out

 

[skybluecam]

Millwall didn't give them the lower tier, shithousery.

 

[Tommo1993]

Shit from Millwall to not give them both tiers.

 

[Tommo1993]

Is “MIIIILLLLLLLLL” them trying to sound like a passing train?

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Hull started well

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Hull may look back on these missed chances.

Again, it feels amazing not to be watching this with anything riding in it for us.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

All hull

 

[Shannerz]

This is a ridiculously frantic game of no quality whatsoever.

 

[Pusb1]

This is a ridiculously frantic game of no quality whatsoever.

You'd want one of these 2 to fluke it up really.
Start at a far lower bar than us.. and both likely to invest less than us too if promoted

 

[Briles]

This is a ridiculously frantic game of no quality whatsoever.

Absolute benny hill of a game

 

[wingy]

They withstood that onslaught pretty well?

 

[jto123]

Anybody explain why the lower deck is empty? Convinced it was used when I went there with Cov?

 

[wingy]

Id definitely take pandur off them , don't know what we'd do with him . loan back maybe?

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Right blood and guts game skill level bit low .There'll be some tired legs at the end probably a mistake will win it.

 

[Liquid Gold]

The Derby low points tally is bought up way too often but either of these in the Prem would actually put it in reasonable danger

 

[Tommo1993]

I’ve been looking about and can’t find any info.

 

[Shannerz]

Is Cooper's hair supposed to be like that?

 

[Johnnythespider]

Absolute benny hill of a game

All we need is Barry Bannen to stand on the sidelines with Alex Neil patting him on the head

 

[jto123]

I’ve been looking about and can’t find any info.

Surely hull sold out their allocation?

 

[SlovakSkyBlue]

Another shit game this, no quality in it at all.

 

[Johnnythespider]

Surely hull sold out their allocation?

Commentators said it was a sell out before kickoff, Millwall just not given them both tiers

Seriously?? How petty is that?

 

[Grendel]

Most play off games are the same - including when we were involved
