Dave L Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 Excellent performance from Miller today, and the first game where he's been switched on and involved for the full 90 minutes. He won most things in the air, and showed some superb close control on occasions. His second goal was a peach. I think he will go on to be a big big player for this club as he adjust to the physical demands of this level of football. What a shame some people were writing him off just a few games ago, suggesting he was a waste of money, nothing better than what we already had etc. Talking of which, I thought Luke Wilkshire was excellent today as well.

Bristol Boy Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 Only time will tell, but I'd love to see it. I think the difference isn't entirely Miller. It's having two central midfielders who can pass and two pacy wide players who provide the crosses from which he scores. If only DW read the Forum. Some of us were campaigning about just that for months!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirscrumpton Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 I felt both Miller and Wilkshire played well today. I agree with Dave L's Miller comments. Today i thought Wilkshire looked a stronger player today, getting pushed off the ball less and less. I think this was down to him having a bit more confidence after scoring in the last 2 games. Hopefully he can build on this and become that attacking box to box player that we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoke_Gifford_Red Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 They are both young and still improving. The best thing, as with Brighton was only one player was over 26, and that must be great news for the future. I think Wilkshire could be able to fit into Tinmans boots in a few years time when he retires. The only difference is Luke can only use his right foot.

Wilkshire played well and miller linked the play up excellently and took his goals very well. I think you will find wilkshire can use his left foot as well and is not as one footed as tinman.

Guest Eddie Hitler Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 Hmmm... let's not go overboard here. Although it is very pleasing. It does look look like Danny not bringing in Robins was both a correct and brave decision as it would have just pushed Miller down teh pecking order.

England Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 ok I confess, I thought very little of Miller and even less of Wilkshire - Miller today had a good game but I remain unconvinced about Wilkshire who I still maintain cannot pass, cannot tackle, cannot take a free kick or corner and cannot head a ball and has no pace.

Agree in total, but would just like to see Citys build up play a little faster.We would then be real promotion contenders,or am i expecting to much.

gater2 Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 To be honest, if he hadn't scored his 2 goals today, I don't think we'd be praising him so much, reminded me of Tony Thorpe today, nothing much all game (apart form a few good turns), but ends up with 2 goals. But hey I'm not complaining! Well done lad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballwinningcentrehalf Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 well i actually thought wilkshire, as well as miller. was superb today- i think now he has a bit more confidence (an playing in the middle) he is showing his true potential. i thought tinnion was a bit off-form today but virtually every attack we had started through wilkshire, and he certainly CAN pass.. he is even getting stuck in now...! like ive said for the whole time- if we get balls in the box miller will put them away. I'm glad its finally happening..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Harry May Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 I do n't know it anyone can remember a post I put on here back in the summer. Whilst on holiday in Italy this year , I had a few beers with a Falkirk ST holder. He reckoned Miller was the best prospect he had seen in a lifetime of supporting his team. He went onto say that he was very good in the air and that he scored quite a few goals from headers. However , he also added that by no means was Lee the finished article and that he was a "rough diamond ", who would have to work hard to achieve his true potential in the game. Well, I reckon yesterday we witnessed a glimpse of that potential. A good game from Miller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
