Three wins from three - Kim Hellberg has made a dream start to life as Middlesbrough head coach.

Rob Edwards' decision to leave looks like it was a blessing in disguise for Boro.

Dom is joined by BBC Tees' Rob Law to reflect on the wins over Hull City and Charlton and the big talking points, including Alex Gilbert's selection and performances.

We also discuss the defence and the brilliance of Alfie Jones and Callum Brittain, and look ahead to the weekend visit of QPR.

We were at Rockliffe on Thursday afternoon for Kim Hellberg's first press conference as Middlesbrough head coach.

We discuss what came out of the press conference, including:

• How he wants Boro to look but the importance of balance
• His upbringing and family's plans to move to Teesside in January
• What he made of the Coventry game and his first training session.

We also look ahead to Saturday's game against Derby County.
