Dorset_Cider Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Thing is ...... do we have to make a decision in haste......In this climate we should not have to rush to sign anyone?????????????There are a few players out there that must have the quality and some that have not shown it yet.....????Why do we feel the need to rush into things, or don't we rush into things?Short term contracts might be the way forward?????????????If the player is not interested in that ..... then are they the right type of player for Bristol City FCThe prospect of some stability at a good level of pay, if you are good enough, would be acceptable in most forms of employment??????????????????Not good enough to play for City = get rid of as soon as possible?????So many ????????????????????

RedM Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 The trouble is now, after we've been 'Dinning-ed', is that we are natrually cautious about players who come in. That's not really fair on the player is it? He already has to show that special something, and probably within a few minutes of being on the pitch or he is to be quickly branded a waste of space. As for Colchester fans being glad to be rid of him, take a look at what's been written here about some of our players over the past few months. Anyone would think Doc, Coles and others ( Dinning aside) were the worst players in the division!Let's give the kid a good welcome, or else soon word will get round and no one will want to come and play here!By the way, the only slight concern I have will be is he injury prone, as injury has kept him out of some games?

Let's see what happens when (or if) he actually signs for Hearts.←Forget playing for a contract. He's playing - full stop.I think it's a bit unfair to bracket him with Dinning i.e. play for a contract, get it and then put your feet up. I reckon that Lee Miller knows he might have a bit of a future in the game, but won't get it sat on the bench in Bristol. He's been given a chance and is showing what he can do with a club where he feels wanted. I could be proved wrong, but expect to see Miller doing well for some time to come.

Off the pitch too, many people heaped praise on him for attending functions and fans matches, giving up his free time to meet people at youth clubs etc. We could do with encouraging that not freezing him out.

Guest taipan Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Brian Tinnion decided that City need a new defender and a new winger with pace, and decided the best solution was to breed a hybrid clone of Keith Millen and Joe Anyinsah, but his attempts were thwarted by the Human Rights Comission, so he settle on the next best thing, a player who combines not the attributes, but the names of these players, Joe Keith. Simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rednready Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Beyond Keiths playing ability is the actual"arrangement". A swap/loan for a month. For starters city wont need Keith over easter with our matches postphoned. It is probable that Goody is on a bigger wage than Keith, as one wag on the Colchester board said, " why would City want Keith they're a big club". Lets also look at our international players with their 2 games in a week, then coming back to face 2 games a week for the postphoned matches. This end of the season with niggling injuries, perhaps Keith is a fresh option. One point overlooked, is the fact that Colchester have been playing Keith on the right, out of position.Some City players can equate with that.

City have made it obvious he's surplus to requirements. I've never been unhappy with Miller, commitment or football wise. You might have added that no one played well or "looked committed" at Cardiff. The whole team was abysmal. City have been the problem, not Miller. We have never played to his strengths by putting in good crosses throughout his entire stay. If he leaves and you mark him down as a City failure, many more of us will see that the fault lay not with him but squarely with the midfield and wingers whose consistent inability to create goal chances (particularly headers) never gave him much chance to shine.

Guest Colchester fan Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Joey is a decent enough player when he is in the mood, but it is always on his left peg he is VERY one footed.He has a decent free kick on him and good ball control too.He has been unhappy at Layer Road for some time and has had a few stand offs with Phil Parkinson over the last few weeks.On his day he can be a matchwinner but on others he will stroll around and do nothing.don't expect a ball winner as he is very lightweight in the tackle, but overall I rate this guy.He is obviously looking to win a permanent deal with Bristol City so perhaps you will see the best of him.

I remember him, but only due to his odd name.So lets face it, his hardly a Howard, Parkin or Nelson. But more worrying is his admission of not seeing "eye to eye" with his manager (sound familiar) and looking for our scores whilst playing for another team, not great loyality there.

Nogbad the Bad Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Brooker and Lita don't seem to have too many problems. OK, goals are a bit thin on the ground at the moment but you know what I mean.← Lita has been persevered with through several dodgy goalless patches. Tinman loves him, and he was allowed to miss and stay on. If Miller had enjoyed such an unbroken run of games and non-substitutions, who knows what his tally would be. Similarly with Roberts, Heffernan and Gillespie, others who notably have never had the extended pressure free unbroken run Leroy has enjoyed. Point is you questioned Miller's commitment and ive seen nothing to suggest this was the case. You might equally question City's commitment to Miller. City paid the money and the onus was on us to do everything we could to help him justify it. Shocking service and regular substitutions was hardly the best way. It will be fairest to judge Miller when he's settled in a team elsewhere, then i think we'll look back wonder what stopped him making a real success of it at Bristol City.
