Came to say that myself - Miller was abaolutely unreal that season

There was a goal he scored around that time at Ibrox at the Broomie end I think against Dundee Hivs??  That was bloody unreal and NEVER gets spoken about. Was about 22yrds out curler right into the top corner. 

Anyone able to find any footage of it??

Miller scored 21 goals in 18 league games that season.

He could lead the line and run defenders into the ground for fun. His finishing that season was out of this world.

Wouldn’t be quick to say Defoe is levels above the Kenny Miller of 10/11 myself.

I know Miller was prolific during that season but Defoe could easily score more.  He already has 12 competitive goals (9 in the league) and it’s only October.  Unlike Kenny, Defoe won’t fuck off in January either.

I looked at the squad from 2010/11.  This was probably our best team:

I think the starting 11 and tactics we have now are better.  But we did have some players of real quality back then.  I think Jelavic, Naismith, and Bougherra in particular, would walk straight in to our current team.

1.  McGregor is still a solid keeper.

2.  I think Barisic can be just as influential as Papac was.  Barisic looks a very complete player and he's been outstanding this season.  

3.  I was never a huge fan of Weir.  I always felt his lack of pace kept us camped in our own half when we should be high up the pitch.  Not sure about Helander but Katic is an outstanding prospect and has started this season off brilliantly. 

4.  Bougherra is one of the best CBs I've seen play for the jersey in my lifetime nobody we currently have comes close.

5.  Tavernier is much better than Whittaker it's no contest.

6.  Kent is a better player than Weiss IMO.  Plus, Kent is our player now and didn't fuck off to some obscure country for the cash.

7.   Was never a huge fan of Edu he was a good athlete but never a great footballer.  Guys like Aribo and Kamara are better footballers.

8.  Davis started playing a more central role for us back in 2010/11.  Probably of a similar ability now as he was then.

9.  Naismith was fantastic for us back in 2010/11.  He would drift in and out of games but always popped up in the box and often got a goal for us.  Ojo and Arfield can do a similar job for us but Naismith in his younger days was a great player.

10.  I loved Jelavic.  I know many will say Morelos is better but I don't think so.  Jelavic's ability in the air separates the two and he would be a tremendous asset for us as a CF.  In terms of a striking partnership Morelos and Defoe are probably better than Jelavic and Miller.  Morelos and Defoe could easily score 50-60 goals this season.

11.  Defoe is levels above Miller.

 

That team was better and was built over a considerable time.  For us to get near that will take time, winning some trophies and above all consistency. 
 

Weir, Bougherra and Papac are above what we have now though. In Weir we had a real captain and leader. We haven’t had that since 2011 in my opinion.

Walters squad all day long.

whittaker was miles stronger than tavernier in challenges and mentally. Bougherra over goldson every day and weir was just solid gold and his no nonsense defending was better than katics.  Papac was mister reliable.  
that’s just the defence,  going through the whole team would take ages.  But we have to bear in mind they had a good 4 years of playing together with the odd addition each window.

 At the moment we just keep having large turn overs  of players in the hope of finding winners.   
 

the league cup in 2008 was a springboard for that squad and the league cup for this squad could do the same.  2008 was the 1st silverware in 3 years and we’d have to hope that 2019 can be our first real trophy in 8 years.

Pretty much agree with all of that.

I can’t believe anyone would think SG squad better than Wattie’s last one.

Shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath. All of Walters squads would wipe the floor with the current lot.
