Darthter 542 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 IMHO, Miller is more the Naismith type of attacker than your regular scorer and striker. Methinks he only had one season with us where he fullfilled a real striker's role. What he lacks during his current stay are people one the same, quick thinking wave-length, people who would anticipate passes before they are done. IMHO, only Hyndman and at times Holt and Garner do that. In this creative attacking role, he sure has a future in the game and with us. Probably not a regular starter for much longer. BTW, not too long ago, such talk about next season was actually put on hold and was not that important. I'd say it ain't that important still ... and Kenny will not mind a missing pay-cheque anytime soon. Missing playing no doubt though. We NEED goalscorers, and folk who can setup scoring opportunities - Miller is neither. He does a power of work, trying to drag defenders about the place, but they get wise to him & just let him run about - there MUST be an end product. Many folk criticised Boyd, for his lack of all round play but he could score. In a similar vain, Miller lacks an all round game but more importantly, the element that he lacks is consistent finishing - so what use is he as a striker??? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooponthewing 1,139 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 (edited) Maybe PC just sees Miller as a leftover from the MW era? I doubt it would be personal or any slight on his ability. Just time to ring the changes and Miller moves on. He would find another club no problem if that were the case?

ian1964 10,409 Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 I like Miller and think he has been one of our best players this season, consistent, which says a lot about the other players!, however I hope the manager can bring in better quality players and that covers all our current squad, the only way we can move forward is bringing in better players, let's hope PC gets the backing to do that!. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacK1950 2,230 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Coop there are many leftovers from MW's reign who to me would struggle to get games elsewhere Senderos being the main example at least Miller still has something to offer. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahem ... as I just pointed out, he's not a goalscoring striker of the Negri, Boyd, or McCoist variety. Neither was Naismith, whom I liked him to. In the second half he played in that exact creative attackers role behind the main strikers. So yes, there is no doubt that we need a goalscoring striker ... and Garner and Waghorn have to start finishing their chances. I for one would not play Miller as a striker any longer, and sure not from the start. That's essentially it.
