Has Miller improved the team's training and tactics?

[mitre_mouldmaster 21,509]

Our performances have seemed to start dramatically improve in recent weeks, with the team playing better as a unit.

This could be somewhat explained by us adjusting to the higher level of opposition, but could the impact of the new (old) players on the team be another reason?

Listening to Miller being interviewed, he seems to be very intelligent and his tactical analysis seemed to be pretty decent.

Listening to Boyd previously, I was quite surprised that he actually seemed a fair bit smarter than I had imagined.

I think their impact on the training pitch is starting to rub off on the other players and we are now starting to look like a half decent side.

Bring on ICT, for the first time in 3 years im actually confident going into a game against a top division side, even if they are top of the league!

You know m8, I asked the same question to my m8 tonight watching this game. He seems to know his stuff Kenny

Can't agree with that.

Yes their experience along with Jigs, and to lesser extents Black, Shiels etc will have a positive effect on the younger players in particular.

For me, what we are seeing is we are finally getting into competitive games where there is no room for coasting victories. It's 100% or fuck off. Players are realising it's time to show they can consistently provide the team and supporters with these performances on a regular basis. Also we have the likes of Aird and Macleod who have played 60 odd games each for the first team and they are learning and improving every game and every season.

There are a multitude of reasons for why we are improving. Whether we credit those individuals or not, for their input into that improvement, is irrelevant. We are getting better and will continue to. It won't be a straightforward sharp rise but if we continue on this curve we will get back to where we belong sooner rather than later, off field issues permitting.

Experienced players bring knowledge but all credit has to go to the manager - after all he takes all the shite if folk think there is something wrong

Yea, thats fair.

The whole playing side has improved recently, McCoist has to get some praise for that. Still paid too much though.

I have to give you this one, I give him shit when we play shite, so he deserves credit when we play well.

Ehm.... No.

[glasgowrangersno1 468]

When you listen to Ally talking he sounds the same but he gets slated regarding tactics.

The management and the team deserve credit.

Let's see how we fare on Tuesday.

[Albertz 78 918]

Certainly think Nicky Clark has upped his game big time since Miller signed and that's probably down to having competition for places which we never had last season.

It's good that we now have Boyd, Miller, Daly and Clark all going for a 2 starting place. Every one of these guys knows now they need to produce the goods or they won't get a game.

Kenny for manager

Miller was dropping hints on what they hadnt been doing good earlier in the season and last.

[Brian Fantana 28,894]

If we are at 100% then we are fucked against ICT

Falkirk tore us apart and even though we won, it was by no significant style on our part

Like your confidence

[Brian Fantana 28,894]

Like your confidence

I'm a realist. Better that than build us up in uncertainty and suffer a fall.

[Alwaysblue 709]

Actually think the OP has a fair point. Miller listed all the things we were doing wrong and how we were correcting them. Was impressed with his interview

[Big Al 55 9,248]

Like your confidence

Fuck his confidence, what about his logic.

[jamess 3,422]

Was dreading Tuesday, now looking forward to it. Some of the players finally getting the finger out and playing somewhere close to their potential, after months of dross just isn't a sign of any managerial talent.

[Redsox1 1,361]

its all down to playing the ball on the deck and not just lumping balls up the park. simple really.

loads of very slick passing as well as hitting wide areas for decent quality crosses to be put in the box.

Who's to say we won't beat them ? i fancy my chances.

[Starving Hagler 38]

Can anyone settle an argument I'm having just now? Was Kenny and bluenose growing up or an HIVEE?

[topgoalie 637]

Heard he was brilliant when in the Scotland set up and was forever passing on advice.

Future manager no doubt.

Nearest i can give you is his father who my brother played against at junior level was a Jambo ????

[sillybilly 151]

I think having a fit Lewis McLeod makes a massive difference

[STEPPS BOY 73,888]

Kenny's a leader..

Cracking influence in dressing room.
