Cumbria_blue 51 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I thought Miller had a good game, faded away in the 2nd half. No doubt your'e going to tire,when your'e doing the work of two men.A change of partner, and we will see the best of Miller(for 90 mins.) I'd like to see Miller and Lafferty up front together actually Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
polar bear 0 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 For one game,I'd love to see Lafferty played up the middle,and Boyd played wide left.Then maybe would could make an actual comparison. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muff 245 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I'd hate to see that PB, there is a chance we'd drop points. For me, Miller and Lafferty should be played upfront. Lafferty didn't deserve to be dropped after the game at the piggery. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brissyger 8 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Given the chance, I'd round up every single one of our strikers into a big bag (kinda like a goodie bag) and sell it for £7m. I'd make some kind of frankenstein monster out of them so that we've got a striker with Millers pace and workrate, Novo's passion and Boyd's finishing skills. Then at least we'd have one striker worthy of Rangers, Novilloyd Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegendofCoop 17,508 Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 If Miller had any kind of a first touch he could score so many more goals. I noticed yesterday that Miller does indeed have a GREAT first touch......with his head, chest & thigh...everything bar his feet! It's un-canny! You watch him next time....brilliant at turning a player so long as he's not doing so with the ball at his feet! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overboard critiscm, where have I heard that before His first touch was poor, he lacked ideas going forward after he started getting marked out the game, he cant hit the byline and put a cross in and barely won a header (compared to how many boyd won), none of that had anything to do with his position nor would it have changed had he played up front, other than he might have more of a sniff at goal being further up the park Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cos he isn't a winger! As for the headers, well he's not known for his aerial ability, but yeah Boyd won a few headers, guess that should make him exempt from criticism He is a decent striker who can unsettle defenders, hold the ball up well, and score goals.

I take it you have watched every game of his up front for Burnley to make this great statement that he is the perfect striker for us? Who said boyd was exempt from critiscm? who even said he was fantastic yesterday?

Cumbria_blue 51 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Anyway Lafferty should never play at LW. Especially when there's Fleck, Aaron, Beasley and Naismith all fit. Why Smith chose to play him out there is beyond me, he is a striker, and if constantly played on the left will be ruined. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not seen very much of his Burnley career, but I have seen him for NI when he has played well as a striker. I've seen enough from him in those games to show that he isn't a bad player, in fact when he's played up front for us he hasn't done that badly. I also don't recall accusing anyone of claiming Boyd was fantastic yesterday either, and of course he wasn't the worst player on the park. The worst player would have been in Hamilton's team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
