Hoobs reveals early season blues

Hoobs: Not a happy bunny under Spackman

Having notched up ten goals in his first season in English football, Poul Hubertz can be very satisfied with his performances in The Lions shirt over the past nine months. But the striker admits that it hasn't been all plain-sailing at The Den as he struggled to hold down a place with the first team squad and has revealed that he wasn't happy at the start of his Millwall career.

Having impressed then-manager Nigel Spackman during a two-week trial at the club, big Hoobs joined the list of new faces at the training ground and found it hard to adjust at a club going through a transitional phase.

"The first three months were pretty much the worst of my career," he told the club's official site. "I was on the bench most of the time, I couldn't really score many goals, we couldn't win and I missed my family. My girlfriend and kids were back home in Denmark and I was on my own nearly every day in the hotel.

"My first goal against Oldham was very special to me and helped because after that match I tried to speak more to the other players, a few weeks after my family came over and everything started to go the right way.

'After Christmas it all got so much better; we were winning pretty much all the time at home and got some very good wins away."
