Quote: knockersbumpMKII "In your opinion, but on balance he was wrong IMO, Miller probably wasn't going to be good enough but he was hung out to dry by Radford and never stood a chance, not in a team that was unbalanced, that was playing pants with a coach out of his depth scratching his head last year. The other two situations happened and they were mistakes (or decisions that he got wrong) that I rightly highlighted.
I'd be interested to see how you think 1 right decision out of 3 is more or less right rather than more or less wrong?'"

Funny how the 'Miller hung out to dry' line comes out after one decent game against the poorest defence in the league.

Nobody wanted Miller to play more than me, he got his chance and was poor. Even in an unbalanced side, the basic skills should still be there, surely?

If he doesn't score a hat trick against Rovers, nobody would have even mentioned him.

Sau will sit in Sa's pocket.

They may have Sau but they also have Caton-Brown which sort of balances it out a bit

Firstly read again what I said.."miller probably wasn't going to be good enough". There are plenty of fans that was saying he was hung out to dry last season or are you forgetting? One good game (or two if you count Wakey's comeback win against Cas as well) doesn't change what happened last season
Iff you think that an inexperienced half playing alongside Horne (or whomever he was playing with) in a team that performed so badly was going to show you his 'skills' when the coach didn't even include him in the first 7 games then you're crazy. That said Miller was thrown into the 8th game of the season and we won handsomely. In fact as I pointed out our win ratio with miller in the side was higher than with him out..go figure(And would have being even greater had it not been for a few pointless rubbers at the back end of the season)
After a few games Miller was dropped again for not much of a reason AFAICT, then brought back for a few more games then that was it.
Do you honestly think he was treated well, given a fair chance given how poor we were? Do you not think that the whole team played poorly (aside from a couple of notables) & that was partly down to the coach.
Yes Miller WAS hung out to dry..

As was proved.

Quote: knockersbumpMKII "There are plenty of fans that was saying he was hung out to dry last season or are you forgetting? One good game (or two if you count Wakey's comeback win against Cas as well) doesn't change what happened last season'"

Not half as many that were saying he was gash.

I expect him to be able to kick a ball accurately or know when or where to kick to. Not sure what him not playing for the first 7 games has to do with it though?!?

Yes, a run that included London twice, Rovers, Widnes & Salford.

Quote: knockersbumpMKII "After a few games Miller was dropped again for not much of a reason AFAICT, then brought back for a few more games then that was it.'"

For not being good enough, maybe?

Quote: knockersbumpMKII "Do you honestly think he was treated well, given a fair chance given how poor we were? Do you not think that the whole team played poorly (aside from a couple of notables) & that was partly down to the coach.'"

He played 24 games in a season and half, more than enough of a chance in my eyes. Go back to the beginning of last year, there was nobody more vocal about Miller getting a chance than me.
Plus others seemed to do fine given the rest of the team played 'poorly' as you say.

Quote: knockersbumpMKII "Yes Miller WAS hung out to dry..'"

He really wasn't.
