    our lack of fluid football is the fact that we seem to br chopping and changing all the time due to injuries, i reckon if miller was given a run of games up front with the same strike-partner things would start to happen.

    Aye he crumbled the other night there, should have had a couple but bottled it. Thing is, every player has bad spells as Kenny is having the now, but he'll come thro it because he has will and determination.

    Same can't be said for all of our strikers.

    Goodness gracious man although I can decipher what you are posting, could you not take a wee bit more time and explain yourself a bit clearer?
    Also if you go back and read other posts its very clear why people see things in regards to Miller, whether its right wrong or indifferent!
    You mention 11 players on the pitch not one why, do you have a problem understanding its in their posts WHY? :87:

    This is exactly how i feel about miller too, great tryer, great attitude, great pace but when youve got number 9 on your back only one stat matters and that dont look too good at the moment. Thats not getting on miller case, its just fact.

    give riordan a run in the team, i've been saying it 4 weeks yet it does'nt look like its going 2 happen- does anybody know the reason why gs wont pick him??? he proved himself at hibs in the past few seasons, i think if you can score 20odd goals a season 4 them then with the amount of chances he'd get with us he'd score that no bother. he got man of the match in the cis cup + has'nt been seen since...*....

    Miller gets a break from the critics because of his great work ethic.

    But,

    1. He isnt a natural finisher, never has been, never will be.

    2. He doesnt create goals.

    3. He has no presence about him.

    You can talk him up all you want, but we cant afford to have a player in the team who misses 2 to 3 sitters every week

    *, i cant believe how so many people can hate a player after one game and forget what he has done for use early this season. this was his first game that you can say that he played like *, and now everyone thinks he is *. give him a few more time to prove himself i questioned when we signed him, but he played great for the first couple months

    No doubt he has a great attitude. But he doesn't deliver. no goals, no assists. we can't afford that at the highest football level. we need to replace players like him with scoring machines! that's football business, pretty rough.

    hes a grafter but hes lucky is he scores 1 in every 3 or 4 good chances and in Europe they are few and far between. I like him but I think his level was the English Championship, or maybe putting in a shift for a Lower EPL side. But hes never gna be a 20+ a season striker.

    Were gna get a tough draw for the CL second round, I want someone who if we only create 1 or 2 real chances away from home, is gna take one - sorry but that aint kenny.

    Miller tries his heart out but he aint no striker. His first touch is terrible and at the moment i still believe that Magic is better, he may not work as hard or make the same runs but Miller wouldnt have scored Magic's goal today and if Magic made the runs that Miller made he would be easily sittin on double figures for the season. In my opinion both need 2 improve or they will need 2 be replaced

    Miller, finishing - terrible
    Magic, first touch - terrible

    Miller should do the runs and the just flick the ball to Magic, so the two can become more effective in a duo then defect while solo.

    As far as see it Miller did score a good goal today, it just will not be on record, * assistant ref * up! :87:

    Millers touch is just as bad as Magic's. Is it just me or does it appear that Kenny works so hard yet doesnt create any chances for the rest of the team?

    Miller either does it his way or no way, but I would like to seem him create some assists for the team.

    Even his goal today that was chopped off, his finishing is unconvincing. His shots are so weak. He doesnt place it either.

    Unlike magic who if given the ball in the box will rifle it home!!! Without his work rate and pace he'd be playing for Stirling Albion.
