Boab 73 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Kenny's Dons Goal By Andrew Dickson KENNY MILLER admits he's desperate to end his longest run of games without a goal in his second spell at Rangers this weekend at Aberdeen. The Scotland forward has found the net seven times this season, with five of those coming on the road against Celtic, Hibernian and Kilmarnock. But he hasn't scored in any of his last six games and you have to go back to the 7-1 victory against Hamilton on December 6 for his last counter. Miller admits he hasn't been at his peak in the last month or so but is determined for that to change in the Granite City. He said: "For the majority of the season, I've been really happy with the way things have went. I think I've been playing well. "In the last three or four games, though, I haven't felt as happy with my game and it's fair to say I've hit a bit of a dip in form. "The fact goals haven't been coming either has highlighted that a little more and I've been disappointed in myself. "Hopefully I'll come good again. I missed three or four weeks of training before Christmas with a knock and maybe that's why I've not been up to scratch. "Injuries certainly don't help and even if you're only out for a short while, it still takes you a bit of time to find your rhythm again.Kenny Miller "It's not as easy to find your feet again and pick up from where you left off as people perhaps believe it is. "With that said, I'm determined to step up a level. I'm working even harder in training and it would be good to lift things with a goal at Aberdeen. "That would help a lot. Goals give strikers confidence and any kind of goal would give me a wee boost as I look to do things the way I did before." http://www.rangers.premiumtv.co.uk/page/Ne...1529359,00.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornelius11 74 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 At least hes admitting hes been playing shite the last wee while. Hope he grabs a goal or two against the sheep. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaguy51 912 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 The sad thing is that he's in no danger of losing his place even if he plays woefully. Where's the motivation to improve your performance going to be if you KNOW you'll be on the team sheet regardless of form? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornelius11 74 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Miller isnt a lazy striker, he tries hard. Its just that lately he hasnt found the form he would like to. Even when he is subbed off you can tell he is unhappy with himself, he wants to improve and thats a good thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goianegra 4,702 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 If he's admitting he's playing shite past few games, then surley that means he's due a real boost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralCartmanLee 313 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 After a few games he hit an excellent run of form but since his injury that form has undoubtedly dipped…. One place we aren’t short is up front and if he doesn’t rediscover his form he should be benched for a few games….. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMWWBK 0 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 He wasn't bought for his goals though, he was bought to be Boyd's legs Boyd can do what he does best with or without Miller. But what happened to the super duper Boyd and Miller combo that many were hailing as the the best thing since McCoist and Hateley just a few months ago?! Truth of the matter is that they really don't need each other. Boyd will still score goals without Miller and Miller (with his head screwed on) will still put in industrious performances without Boyd. As a partnership they were never going to work, i said that from day one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I think he should be on the bench for a couple of weeks, and play Naismith to see the effect/possible improvement, but for you Miller haters even now, the SPL scoring table at this moment in time makes a pretty interesting read. Boyd Rangers 20 Samaras Celtic 12 Porter Motherwell 9 Lovell Falkirk 8 Miller Aberdeen 8 McDonald Celtic 7 Miller Rangers 7 Riordan Hibernian 7 Fletcher Hibernian 6 Nish Hibernian 6 Sandaza Dundee Utd 6 Clarkson Motherwell 5 Daly Dundee Utd 5 Davis Rangers 5 Higdon Falkirk 5 Exact same as McDonald of Celtic, and so far only two players in the whole SPL in double figures.
