George Miller

[Silkscarf]

I fully support George and agree he’s the best we’ve had since Marquis. I just want him to reach his full potential with us. He seems like a good pro and works hard for the team.

We need to get fully behind him as fans.
There is nobody who will want him to score more than himself.

He is working his socks off for the team and that’s all he can do.
He doesn’t get a lot of chances to score due to lack of quality service in most games, so when he does miss a chance it seems worse.

If he scores 1 then think he may get on a roll again.
Let’s hope he gets one on Saturday. We need more goals from this team and Miller scoring 1 in 2 games between now and end of the season could be the difference in achieving a play off place.

I have made some attempt to read up on standard coaching practices recently in an attempt to understand Schofield better. He is firmly wedded to his coaching principles and believing a system and sticking to it is not to be criticised especially if there is evidence that it will bring results. I do not fully understand the man and perhaps he could improve the way he presents his analyses. And obviously, looking sympathetically at the way things are going, he is going to be allowed time to develop the players and his style.

What concerns me most is that he does not talk as though he is very adaptable and my understanding of coaching technicalities is not sufficient to know whether his “system” is adjusted to make the maximum use of a player like Miller. Because it is a fact that his lack of goals has coincided with the change of manager. So the question is do people think that he is properly accommodated within the DS system?

When DS was Huddersfield manager they struggled for goals playing the same system. Danny Ward played the Miller role, not completely dissimilar players. I think the issue is getting players around Miller rather than Miller being no good.

We should get behind all our players when they are on the pitch.
Some of the abuse thrown at some of our players has been dreadful.

Negative energy seeps into a place. We aren’t doing as well as we thought we would, but I don’t understand the mentality of waiting all week to go to a game, then moaning throughout it. This transfers onto the players, those who do it are helping the other side get three points.

 It might only be a tiny percentage that affects towards a win, but it can in a close game, be the difference. Our players should look forward to playing at home, do they, I’m not sure?

It also might put off people who are there for the day coming back as a fan in the future.

Let's not forget that Miller isn't DS's player. He was recruited by McSheffrey.

However, given the limited resources at his disposal, DS knows he's got to try and work with what he's got.

It patently isn't working for George at present. He's not a target man and his ability to use pace to beat the last man isn't helped when the ball just gets pumped in his general direction.

I can see the sense in DS looking to support him with Hurst and Moly but what he really needs is a smart operator in midfield who sees the runs and plays him in. Unfortunately, that ship sailed when Tomlin left the building.
