Miller

[swain_drfc]

Bench him Schofield! The lad is a shadow of himself. He is making runs to areas of the pitch where he knows he won’t receive the ball. He doesn’t want it. Then when he does get it, it bounces off him. He spends more time looking at the defenders than he does the ball.

[no eyed deer]

Both him and Mitchell have cost us more points this season.

No better than Glen Kirkwood

[StocksArmy]

Calling for him benched now is ridiculous. He has only been as good as what we can afford. Wasnt good enough for the Barnsley squad yet, straight into our line up. Never been good enough from the start.

[eastender]

That was  difference today , they had Andy Cook up front , we had Andy Cap.

You're right it's ridiculous. It should have happened weeks ago

[Chris Black come back]

I wasn’t one of the fantasists saying he would be top scorer in league this season or would nail 20 plus goals, but he’s a useful player at this level. That said, he’s on a horrific run so clearly something isn’t working. He’s not scored in 14 and scored 3 in 20. These are terrible numbers.

[Prez]

Said it on here a few week ago he needs dropping. Hes been very poor the last 2 months.

[Branton Red]

Yes he's not playing particularly well at the moment.

But singling him out for criticism is unfair.

What chance does he, or anyone else, have up front in a system in which he is totally and utterly isolated.

Criticism should be aimed at the manager and his hopeless tactics.

[Goole Rover]

Clearly not physical enough, he makes it so easy for the defender.

[scawsby steve]

Andy Cook was f*cking terrible apart from one header, scored against a defence that can't defend headers. I wouldn't want him in our team either.

What a bloody dreadful league this is.

[Arsenal Of The North]

His touch is atrocious, his hood up play is woeful, his runs are terrible, decision making questionable, the lad has been poor for weeks now, he hasn’t had anything to feed on, but as a striker you have to work hard, hold the ball up and drag the team up with you, he’s offering nothing.

He’s isolated because he doesn’t offer many options to the midfielders.

We should have signed a strong physical striker in January. It’s league 2.

[EasyforDennis]

But who would you replace him with?
Agard
Barlow
Griffiths
Laverey

Seriously?

[Chris Black come back]

We can’t write him off yet but it is getting on for four years since Marquis left and we’ve made a real mess of replacing him - Kwame, Rakish, Sterling, Tulloch, John-Jules, Cukur, Dodoo, Hiwula, Agard, Griffiths, Andrews. Probably more. All a total waste of our money.

[Redroy]

The amount of absolute f**king gash in that list is mind-boggling.

[Padge_DRFC]

John-Jules was good

[Bills view]

Miller is not quite big enough to bully defenders, not quite quick enough to out run them, not quite good enough to link play consistently, and not quite clever enough to outthink them. Having said that if you don't get players close enough to him and running beyond him you will always struggle to threaten a solid defence.

[Chris Black come back]

John-Jules was good

A decent player yes but injured far too much and as a result scored five goals for us in a season. Not enough to remotely replace Marquis.

[BillyStubbsTears]

But who would you replace him with?
Agard
Barlow
Griffiths
Laverey

Seriously?

Precisely.

We've signed half a dozen VW Polos and the fans are moaning that we don't pull away from the lights very quickly.

Unless folk engage with just how f**king awful our recruitment has been for 2 years, they are going to carry on being pissed off with the performances. You have to grit your teeth and expect a two year rebuilding job.

[sedwardsdrfc]

Didn’t do much wrong today but also didn’t impact game at all. Too often the ball bobbles off him but he’s outnumbered on his own

[Padge_DRFC]

Griffiths must smoke cigars in training if he can't get near this side

[BillyStubbsTears]

Or maybe he's really not very good?

[ncRover]

Last time I saw Griffiths play he moved like a wardrobe.

[Bentley Bullet]

Plus he lacks height. We need a tallboy.

Sack the (side) board.

We need wins, not drawers.

[Bentley Bullet]

The table doesn't lie.

[CJK]

Don't think Miller is this issue.

We're neat and tidy in the first two thirds of the pitch and then utterly clueless in the final third. We don't create chances which means we don't generate shots which means we don't score many goals. It's glaringly obvious but nothing seems to change.

I think given the right service and the ball played into the right areas Miller will score. Its no fluke he scored goals in the first third/half of the season.

Bradford take a different approach. Very direct. Aim for the big lad up front, that either generates a chance by itself or they feed off the knock downs and second balls. We gifted them their only corner of the match and they made it pay.

On one hand I can see what DS is trying to do, on the other hand I really wonder whether it will come together in L2, even if we could get the right players in.

Look at Stevenage, you know for a fact they aren't emulating the way Man City play. Leyton Orient similar.

If the rebuild job keeps bringing us Lavery’s then we’re going to be waiting a damn sight longer than two years for things to turn around.

[andy didcott]

Cannot see him scoring another goal this season.
