    Middlesbrough boss Kim Hellberg says his side have made a very strong start to the season before their match against Millwall on Tuesday.

    Saturday's thrilling 4-3 win against Norwich City has lifted Boro up to fourth in the Championship table as they welcome the Lions to The Riverside.

    A win on Tuesday would take Boro top of the league.

    "I think in general it's been a very, very strong start to the season," Hellberg told BBC Radio Tees.

    "So many new players, we lost so many of the players that played every game for me last season. A lot of them coming in late.

    "The group of players have had a brilliant start to the season and now it's about getting more points on the board in the two games we have left before the three-week break."
