whitey_03 Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 Just wondering if anyone will be going to this match, and could tell me how Lee gets on, interestingly Lita isnt in the squad for this one!! Cheers Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobby Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 Unfortunately can't get there - looks like an interesting squad. The reserves are also playing a game this evening - the Somerset Premier Cup Final - Lita is in that team with mostly academy youngsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping from a personal stance that Miller can maybe bag a goal or two and give him some much needed confidence!! Also who is the trialist from Charlton, anyone heard of him?

I'm hoping for a Hat-Trick at least to make Mr Wilson sit up and take notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitey_03 Posted April 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 When will the score and the scorers be available to those not at the game? Will it be tomorrow now before we get a match report on the game? Come on Lee, play a blinder and maybe get yourself off the bench for the Barnsley game!!

whitey_03 Posted April 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 Wonder how many open goals he'll miss Glad to see you arent letting that one miss affect how you feel about him as a player!! NOT Come on, I'm sure he isnt the first and certainly wont be the last to miss an easy chance in City colours, but seems you have decided to remember him for the ones he has missed rather than the ones he has scored!!

Cider Queen Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 Wonder how many open goals he'll miss Leave it out Nailsea! I think the lad has done well this season - okay we paid a lot of money for him (not his fault) But if the service to him had been better at the start of the season (thinking of Wilkshire out on the right) then he might well have scored more goals. Take it from me (having lived in scotland for 2 years) there is a HUGE step up in between the scottish 1st and the English 2nd and he needs to get used to it. And remember he's only 20!. He'll make it I have no doubts. and as for missing open goals - Peacock is just as guilty. Come on Wilson - lets see Miller and Roberts for the final 2 matches!

edson Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 Wonder how many open goals he'll miss As the saying goes: If you don't buy a ticket, you can't win the lottery. The fact Lee 'missed' against Swindon means that he was in a position to do so. More than can be said for our other 'target man' for the vast majority of games this season. If Peacock got himself into positions like that, instead of laying the ball off well and standing to admire his handiwork, rather than attacking the box, Miller's miss would not be feeling so costly and coming in for so much criticism now.

Bristol Boy Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 Leave it out Nailsea! I think the lad has done well this season - okay we paid a lot of money for him (not his fault) But if the service to him had been better at the start of the season (thinking of Wilkshire out on the right) then he might well have scored more goals. Sorry, but this poor service stuff is the last refuge of a scoundrel, as far as I'm concerned. I agree it's been crap and have said so many times but Lita has scored five and hardly played and even Goodfellows scored only three league goals less.LP's got 14 league goals with the same crap service. Take it from me (having lived in scotland for 2 years) there is a HUGE step up in between the scottish 1st and the English 2nd and he needs to get used to it. And remember he's only 20!. He'll make it I have no doubts. and as for missing open goals - Peacock is just as guilty. Not quite as open as that and I was right behind the goal.Marvin Brown & Lita cost nothing and haven't been given the chances that LM has........because of the fee.

whitey_03 Posted April 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 Bristol Boy do you honestly think Lita or Marvin Brown would have done any better than Miller has this season?? Granted you will always fall back on the fact Miller has had the same service Peacock has, but when Miller was playing up front with Peacock, the system was played to hit Peacock as the main striker, so he should naturally get more chances and effectively more goals!! Many people have said it, Miller seemed to look the type of player he has the potential to be when he was being played as the main striker, with Robbo playing off him!! I know you feel I am fighting his cause mainly because he is a friend, but I can tell you its not. I just feel saying Miller has had as much service as Peacock is wrong. And to bring up another point, how many games has Miller completed the 90 minutes this season?? I'm not asking you to come on here and change your opinion over night on Miller, it just seems you are far to quick to write him off as a waste of money, when he hasnt completed his first season in a new league, surely the real test comes next season when he has to show what he has learned!!

RedM Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 He really is a boy who can do no wrong ain't he! Try persuading Mr Wilson about that! Anyway that 'miss' wasn't much of a miss anyway. He did the best he could with the 'chance'. At least he was in the position to take the chance which is more than can be said of some. By the way everybody makes errors in the game, it's just sometimes more are noticeable than others. Some matter more than others but work hard and there will be a chance to make amends, and more.

NailseaRed Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 I think we have of come to the conclusion (after many many threads on the subject) that some people like Miller and some people like Peacock. They both have their faults and both have their pluses, but they both play for City so I'll get behind whoever is on the pitch. It has been the subject of many a debate but i don't think anyone has managed to really sway anyone from one side to the other. Personally I don't see how some people can slate our top scorer as much as they do, after all the facts show it at the end of the day (don't care who has played more or less or with whoever) the goals are on the board from Peacock and I wouldn't bet against him popping another few in. So even though Peacock scored the goal that beat Plymouth he still deserves a slating? If we go up that goal will have been a MASSIVE influence in us doing so.

I have to admit I find the abuse Peacock gets, even though he is top goal scorer is OTT. But I guess you are 100% correct when you say, the Miller fans will back Miller and slate Peacock and vice versa. But I guess this is the things which make the forum interesting Funny how I have started yet another debate by harmlessly asking if anyone was going to watch the reserve game and to fill me in on Millers performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cider Queen Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 Sorry, but this poor service stuff is the last refuge of a scoundrel, as far as I'm concerned. Ah.. You may be right - but bare in mind that Millers strength is will his head... You don't get many headers picking the ball up from deep and running at players. My point is when Miller started the season he had little or No service. I agree it's been crap and have said so many times but Lita has scored five and hardly played and even Goodfellows scored only three league goals less.LP's got 14 league goals with the same crap service. Absolutely, but again with quality service they would have ALL scored more and we wouldn't be having this discussion now - City would have been crowned champions weeks ago. Not quite as open as that and I was right behind the goal.Marvin Brown & Lita cost nothing and haven't been given the chances that LM has........because of the fee. OK - I can't argue it was a bad miss. As for Marvin Brown & Lita costing nothing - the few times I've seen Brown I've not been impressed (but maybe he should have been given a chance). Lita - Should be on the Bench alongside PEACOCK. Be honest, if you were DW, who would you start with? Miller and Roberts - Bring Peacock on as and when necessary.. you never know it might do him some good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NailseaRed Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 How many free headers did LP miss on Saturday - from memory he had a 'golden' one in the first half All very well to say what if, but what if Miller was on the end of it. Perhaps we might just be sat looking down on QPR. LP needs a rest, I think anyone can see that - nothing against the bloke, but if he'd been give an 2-5 game rest he could have come backed fired up for the last couple of games and helped us gain promotion. Nevermind eh, we'll all happy with 3rd place aren't we I would say he NEEDED a rest, but personally i think he is back on form now, and he has been top notch the last few games, helped by the performances alongside Roberts. I think we are playing our best strike partnership at the moment, lets just hope they do the business in the last two games for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm honest I dont think Lee would be happy if I was backing him up based on friendship alone, he would like to think his footballing ability can silence the critics, but only time will tell!! Out of interest as Edson so kindly informed us, they drew 1-1 and Lee didnt score!! Any of Lee's critics unhappy??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
