papaguy51 912 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Do we rely on his pace though? I thought he lost that a while ago. It's his finishing that's improved as his pace has decreased.I still think we are depending on his pace and quick ten yard burst.Loads of his goals have come from his starting deep and accelerating quickly to get in front of his marker for a glance into the net.

BRICKY1872 118 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 There's no guarantee that Miller will score any more goals though, just as there's no guarantee that Jelavic/Lafferty wouldn't if they were given Miller's position should he leave.Perhaps this is the end of Miller's hot streak, you could argue that as much as you could argue against any of the two players mentioned above walking into a hot streak. If it is, I'd rather move a player of his age on and bring in a young talent like Goodwillie.In the summer aye, not half way through the season.

Calgereh 1 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 millers scored over 20 of them, but aye we can afford to lose him for 600k....:rollseyes:we said the same thing when Boyd left and Miller stepped up to the plate, someone else will maybe even Goodwillie...

Couldn't wait to get rid of him - many others felt the same.I would still happily sacrifice Boyd's usual double in a 4-0 Ibrox win against Hamilton for the odd goal in a big game, at a big venue from Miller.I can accept Miller going if Goodwillie is the direct replacement. That's building for the future Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calgereh 1 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 My only point wether you liked Boyd or not is Miller wasn't banging the goals in as much as he has done this season as he was playing a slightly different role because of Boyd. We have the quality for someone to take over that position if Miller leaves.I do believe we will get Goodwillie and maybe Miller is stalling until we do get him.

tgblue 2 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Goodwillie's spl scoring record is 10 of the 18 Goals utd have scored, considering his age, the lesser numbers of chances (probable)poorer quality team mates is there an arguement to suggest his record is more impressive that Millers?

MasterD 7,448 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Kenny Miller really isn't that quick, this is shown in Europe. don't know why people always mention Kenny Millers pace, he's probably our slowest attacking player apart from Beattie, then again my maw would probably look like she had pace running against the SPL dross defenders Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goianegra 4,704 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Miller filled in for Boyd and I'm sure whoever is put upfront if he goes be it Jelavic, Naismith, Lafferty... Goodwillie? or even Beattie, they'll get us the goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irwin Sparkes 97 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 No where in my post did I say that chief.....It's the whole inferrance that because Miller has scored half our league goals, he is irreplaceable. We heard it all before with Boyd.In 17 league games, Miller has only started up front with Beattie 3 times and Jelavic 3 times. In the rest he has played as a lone striker. It's obvious that someone playing up front on his own is going to score the majority of the team's goals. It's not like he's had a partner who's been hopeless in front of goal.

Amac9 2,060 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 In total we have scored 51 goals this season and Miller has scored 22 of them. If/when he leaves who will replace him in the goalscoring charts?Lafferty is nowhere near good enough to find the net week in week out, Beattie is never fit to get on the pitch, Naismith has scored 8 goals but is playing from a deeper position and won't be as profilic, Jelavic will take a few weeks to get back up to speed.If Miller leaves I think we need to bring in a replacement who will guarantee goals.

Muff 245 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 It's time others starting helping out, and chipping in with goals - that's with or without Miller/a replacement.Too much expectation on Jelavic, he will take time to settle and find his feet. If we sell Miller and don't replace him, then we are off our heads. Beattie and Lafferty are not the answer and Naismith should continue to play where he has for the majority of the season.
