nickD Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 http://uk.sports.yahoo.com/050216/4/945i.html Interview with Lee ahead of the weekend's match. Goes into what has happened down south, what he learned and he is now wanting to start from scratch with Hearts. Good luck Lee. :@ :@ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickD Posted February 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 No, the article says he was frozen out. He doesnt ← I know, was quoting their quote..... Still, the sentiment is there though Tom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobby Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 "He's a player manager and he's been there 10 years. It was okay when we were playing together and he's okay with me now, but obviously he wants to build his own team and I don't know whether I'm part of that." I think this sums it up pretty well - Tins is bringing in his own players (as any new manager would) and Miller probably isn't part of that equation. I guess the only bit that really worries me is that Miller is still unsure about where he stands, surely he at least deserves to know whether or not he is wanted back in Bristol by the manager?????

Bristol Boy Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 I think the point the some people miss, is that Lee was dropped by the manager (DW)who got the Board to part with £325k with a promise of another £40k, based on performance, which, for whatever reason, didn't happen. We went to Hartlepool with SM & LW on the bench £4/500k and LM & MG £425K,in the stand!! Irrespective of what you and I think,DW & FB didn't consider Lee first choice and neither does BT & KM. If Lee returned, I think he's d still be on the bench with Heffernan, behind SB & LL, so a sale seems sensible as long as the money's right. Our priorities are: Another Centre Back (Coles to go) Left sided Midfielder and/or left wing back (Bell to go, Woodmans out of favour and Fortune isn't a LB) Target Man (Competition/Cover for Brooker) Central Midfielder (Tins is retiring, Dinning doesn't look right and I hope Tommy's on his way back but we'll have to see) That's football and if we et our money back for Lee, that'll probably fund all of the above.

We had to get in another striker Brooker because Miller was not up to the task of scoring goals.Miller is scoring in Jock land either the game up there is rubbish or he wanted to get back to Scotland and was not trying down here. I hope we get back what we paid for him. I think City could get stiched up if we are not carefull we want £325,000 at least for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller was a regular in Wilson's side throughout last season - yes he was not in the side every game but played around 40 matches I believe? I am not "blaming" Tins for anything other than maybe not making it clear to Lee precisely where his future lies. Miller is playing well in Scotland because for the first time this season he is getting a full 90 mins week after week, simple fact - most footballers play better when they are on the pitch!

Wilson gave him enough chances to steak his place and if he had been any good we would being the secound div now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were they not almost similar sorts of players(?) Lita and Miller should've been tried more. I seem to remember when he came on at Bournemouth this season he turned the game.

Remember Brighton away - again Miller and Roberts partnership did the trick. Shame those partnerships have not been tried this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyb Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Played 32 games last season, 9 goals I think I just hope we hold any deal off till the end of the season. Alot could change come end of the season. ← My sentiments exactly here Tom. I stay out of the Lee Miller arguements on here but i think he's a more than useful player who probably requires slightly more of a physcial presence and damn sight better service than he gets here to really make a mark in the English game. I like you though just hope that no deal is done until the summer by which time many many things may have changed here (with a bit of luck anyway). I get the feeling though that if Hearst made a decent offer this week we'd take it now to try and finance a rescue of our ptiful season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Harry May Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 I know there is lies , damn lies and statistics . But statisticaly the most profitable strike partnership last season on goals/per games was Roberts / Miller. Just such a shame that DW persisted with the out of form Peacock. Caldicot Red.
