Match facts
Nigel Adkins is preparing for another big week on home soil as the fight for Championship survival continues.
The Tigers host Norwich City at the KCOM Stadium on Saturday, but first up is a battle with Millwall on Tuesday night and having seen his side take four points from a similar home double-header at the end of February, Adkins wants recent good home form to continue.
“It’s all about being ready for the next game and we have to concentrate on getting our performance right,” said Adkins.
“We’ll need to be competitive in our nature because that is the type of game it is going to be against an in-form Millwall side.
“They are very good at what they do. They get forward well and Neil Harris has done a great job there. With that in mind it’s about us stopping them getting the ball forward, but then when we have the ball we have to be good and creative with it. If we get our performance right then we have a chance to win the game of football.
“The home crowd will have a part to play this week as always, too. We all want the best for the Club and we need all of the positive energy that they have to help drive the team on firstly against Millwall and then against Norwich.”
