RedTop Posted May 20, 2004 Posted May 20, 2004 Just looking at the way he took his goal, he really does look like a natural goalscorer to me. Like Akinbuyme, he fluffs a few that make you wince, but also like Akinbuyme he makes so many more chances with his pace that even with a lower strike rate he gets more goals than most. Makes you wonder how we'd have done with him in the starting line-up each week. Given his goal rate last season, it's no secret he can get 'em. But he really took that goal like a natural striker, which is what some people on here have been saying he isn't. He's on fire. And I for one plan to put a few quid on him scoring in the final.
bcfc seattle Posted May 20, 2004 Posted May 20, 2004 Also makes you wonder why he wasn't/isn't being played up front with someone that helps him (Miller) rather than someone who isn't exactly the perfect foil (Peacock).
SimplyRed Posted May 21, 2004 Posted May 21, 2004 Yes indeed, I don't think we saw enough of a Roberts/Miller partnership this season. Easily the two most talented forwards at the club. If only Roberts would just get his head up a bit more often, his strike rate would double...
bcfc seattle Posted May 21, 2004 Posted May 21, 2004 Yes indeed, I don't think we saw enough of a Roberts/Miller partnership this season. Easily the two most talented forwards at the club. We saw it at all?
SimplyRed Posted May 21, 2004 Posted May 21, 2004 We saw it at all? You're probably right! As far as I remember, when Miller was always subbed for Roberts and vice versa.
cityboy Posted May 21, 2004 Posted May 21, 2004 We saw it at all? Yes. Infact it was in the game we thrashed Brighton 4 - 1......omens????
Guest yajrellim Posted May 21, 2004 Posted May 21, 2004 I think lee (miller) deserves a chance he has played well all season and to be dropped for the last few games has been unfair. remember its his first season in a very physical league. but he has to do what roberts has done and work hard and wait his chance and when i comes take it and the glory will follow as glory comes with hard work. miller and roberts could form a lethal combination
MattyAli Posted May 21, 2004 Posted May 21, 2004 Could we be seeing the begining of the end for mr Peacock.... I think a Miller/Roberts partnership would be fantastic.
Mr Ed Posted May 21, 2004 Posted May 21, 2004 Yes. Infact it was in the game we thrashed Brighton 4 - 1......omens???? Let's hope so. If Peacock is injured for the final I hope Miller get's the starting slot alongside Robbo. Rougier didn't look a natural centre forward on Wednesday although it's never easy changing positions during a match.
