Due to spending a fair chunk of this season in far-flung places covering cricket I haven\u2019t seen as much live football this season as usual, but I have seen both of these teams in the flesh, once. I don\u2019t think I saw the best of Hull, who looked a pretty ordinary team with a very good striker for this level in Oli McBurnie, but I thought Millwall<\/a> were just brilliantly competent and organised. Looking forward to seeing both again tonight, and hoping that the scale of the occasion doesn\u2019t lead to a little negativity creep.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Sergej Jakirovic, the Hull City<\/a> manager, has a chat:<\/p>\n double quotation markI think we are very similar teams, it\u2019s 50\/50 and we\u2019ll see. Today we have to be very tactically wise. Of course we will try to score and take an advantage into the second leg \u2026 Nothing will be decided tonight, but we will try to win the game.<\/p>\n In my opinion, the regular season is over. It doesn\u2019t matter who\u2019s in bigger form. It\u2019s a tournament. We have to be better in two games. No away goals. And we will try to beat Millwall. They have to believe in themselves. We showed already, we played almost all season very good. All season, it\u2019s believe in yourself, try to do what we are practising in training sessions, and I think in the end we deserve to be there because mostly we were there.<\/p>\n It\u2019s been an amazing experience for me. I spoke a lot to Slaven Bilic, he told me everything, but when you feel for yourself it\u2019s amazing. Everyone\u2019s prediction was that we will be in a relegation battle but this is football, and you must believe in yourself.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Alex Neil has had a chat with Sky. It was quite a lengthy chat, and he speaks very quickly, but here\u2019s a taster:<\/p>\n double quotation markWe\u2019re really relaxed. We\u2019re ready. The club\u2019s been trying to get in the playoffs for 24, 25 years and we\u2019ve managed that, so it\u2019s been a brilliant season so far. The first leg, naturally once it\u2019s done, might shape what the second leg looks like, but our aim naturally is to win the first game. For us, we\u2019ve played Hull twice this year, what it did show is both teams are more than capable of beating each other. It\u2019s going to be an end to end game. I\u2019ll be interested to see how it goes.<\/p>\n The owners made it clear to me how he wanted things to evolve. The recruitment\u2019s been brilliant and the lads are absolutely first class. They\u2019re very humble, they\u2019re very hard working and I think if you\u2019ve got a lot of those ingredients, that\u2019s the recipe for success. As far as we\u2019re concerned, we\u2019ve got an unbelievable opportunity and we\u2019ve got to just go for it.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>The teams!<\/p>\n Team sheets have been handed in, and these were the names upon them:<\/p>\n Hull: Pandur, Coyle, Egan, Hughes, Giles, Slater, Crooks, Belloumi, Millar, Gelhardt, McBurnie.
