View Full Version : Lewis Miller

Was he dropped last night or carrying a niggle?
Seems odd to have been dropped if that was the case. Yes, deserved to be after 1st leg - but they all did. Finished last season very strong and has had to be very patient to get his chance. I think he is a better defender than Delferriere and is also good going forward. Not taking away from Delferriere as thought he had a good game (apart from couple times skinned defensively)
Just think Miller should be our starting right back and give him a fair crack of the whip. Get the distinct impression Johnson doesn't like him - going back to shin guard gate

I thought the same that it was odd he never started him.
Now I think about what Delferierre was good at last night, could that be the reason he started?
So imo Delferierre was really composed on the ball, played out for the back really well and played some really good ball forwards.
All things I wouldn’t associate with Miller.
Did Johnson think against that opposition last night, Doidge up top and Boyle on the wing did he just want a defender who could find them? He rarely ventured forward but just kept giving the ball to Boyle or floating it into Doidge’s chest.
Just a thought!

Johnson said pre match he felt delferriere could feed through balls to Boyle so I imagine that was the reason. Better technically.
Makes sense as we will have expected to be in control of much of the ball last night.

Cannot remember where I heard this but Johnson was critical of two players for not following instructions Youan was one, Miller was other. Maybe that’s why he was dropped.
Miller has been a mixed bag so far but I’d like to see him given a run of a few games to see if he’s our answer at right back. His limited game time can’t be helping build any consistency.

I think he's a big, strong, aggressive lad who's good at defending but not so great going forward. Partly down to not great ball skills, but also lack of experience on when to push on and when to drop back. He's had good games against Celtic, where he's been under pressure, but has also only had to focus on defending. Last night he was unlikely to have much defending to do so makes sense to play someone more comfortable and creative on the ball. With experience I think he could become a very similar player to Chris Cadden who, despite his faults, has been really good for us imho.

There was also an interview talking about their 2nd goal where defenders didn't follow in to help clear. If you watch back, that was also Miller

Yep he let the scorer follow in rather than covering him. Really surprised Miller didn't play yesterday and though Delf did well would probably want Miller back in for Sunday.

Spot on!
I just don’t know what Miller has to do to get a game.
I get he didn’t play well in Andorra, but this game was bread and butter for him.
And yes Delferriere did well against Inter, but he got the time and space a 6-1 thumping usually gives you.
After 2 seasons it looks like LJ STILL doesn’t know what his best team is.

I think Miller can defend. But he's got little pace to get up and down the wing. But with Boyle ahead of him then maybe not a huge issue. Just be there to receive and give the ball. And sit behind Boyle.
Hiber-nation

Miller looks as if he'll get a strain of some kind every time he stretches for the ball. It's clear he's another who is nowhere near 100% fit.

There has to be an issue beyond ability there IMO. Whether it’s a fitness thing or an issue between him and Johnson it’s really weird the way he’s been used IMO. Remember him doing really well at Parkhead last season then being nowhere to be seen for weeks.
Whatever the reason, if we’re not going to play him it’s criminal not to have signed a right back.
It’s another in the long list of baffling things about our team selections.

I think that fits in with the idea hes good defensively but not great going forward or with the ball st his feet. Plays when wr're up against it, ie old firm or really good attacking threat left sided player. Against so called lesser teams who carry no wide left threat (their side) he cant deliver going forward. We've all seen in recent times fullbacks/wingbacks certainly at the higher levels neec tp be able to push on just as goalkeepers need to be decent with their feet (unless youre called Joe Hart)

For me that’s fine at the top level but we need to remember the level we’re at. We’ve just lost three goals at home to St Mirren, we need to be more pragmatic and stop that kind of thing happening. We got away with things the other night because we were playing against an amateur team basically. It’s like when we brought Jeggo in last year, it improved us for the most part. We seem to have come in to this season with LJ thinking that the defensive side of the game doesn’t matter and we’re not good enough to do that. On another note, Delefierre was never going to offer anything Miller couldn’t going forward.

Gets injured quite frequently which hasn’t helped him. But as an attacking full back he’s poorer than Cadden - he’s more defensive and less creative than Cadds. Very different players :agree:

I understand why you would say that, but sometimes what you can do depends on the manager’s instructions.
He played in Oz where he as right back was seen as an attacking force, more than defensive one.
Presumably he is constrained a bit because of doing what is required of him now.
Irrespective of our personal viewpoint, he remains the only right back available, and to play Delferriere in that position against St Mirren, when Lewis was left on the bench, didn’t exactly seem like a tactical master stroke, to me at least.

He seems to be a great athlete (when fit anyway), strong and powerful and he's actually fairly quick.
I'm not sure how good an actual footballer he is from a technical and positional sense though. Saying that I'd be starting him at right back as there's literally nobody else.

The manager singled him out after the game and said he didn’t follow the instructions he was given. Youan too. Not sure why that’s meant he’s been benched and replaced by a player that isn’t a right back since then. He won’t improve if he continually goes in and out of the team.

JC obviously didn’t follow instructions on Saturday as well as being gash and was hooked almost immediately rather than a reshuffle or someone nailing O’Hara 😀
Funny how Miller wasn’t hooked sooner in Andorra if that was the case and was allowed to play the full ninety minutes?
Will be interesting to see the lineup on Thursday

Your right he had a nightmare in Andora but the fact is he's only had 1 decent game for Hibs and that was against Celtic with nothing at stake for them. He is just not good enough. He looks the part, big and athletic but he's a very poor footballer. We are better playing a 3-4-1-2, but the gamble is on Youan and Boyle working back.

He was very good away at Celtic park and was playing well before his injury enforced substitution at Tynecastle. Of the 4 games he’s started in the last 6 months, he was decent in 3 of them and poor in Andorra like the rest of the team.
There is some players who can repeatedly put in bad performances but always retain their place while for others there seems to be no 2nd chances.

Poor footballers tend not to be capable of playing like Miller did v Celtic. He’s had injury issues, was brought back into the side looking far from fit and disappeared again, only to emerge at the end of the season and get injured again.
We will find out if Miller is good enough this season. He’s shown he has potential to be. Worth a run in the side, based on what limited game time I’ve seen.

Don't particularly think he's had much of a first chance tbh but yeah, up to him if he gets put in to stay there. Certainly shown enough in the top 6 games end of last season that he is worth a shot. Think it's a bit of a myth aswell that he isn't good going forward but it isn't something I'd argue the toss on with anyone that says he isn't - will just see how he goes this season. Really think there is a good player there though

I agree with this. He was ripped up 2 or 3 times in the opening 10 minutes. After that he was immense and bossing his adversary.

First 20 minutes Boyle was playing high and losing possession a lot which put LM under immediate pressure as he was up the pitch to support Martin. After that was sorted he grew into the game.
Very athletic lad, love his confidence and enthusiasm too. Needs to quicken up his passing a little, at times second half he wanted a wee bit too much time on the ball and was quickly closed down or drew fouls due to slightly delaying a pass.
Never gives up though, and that’s a quality trait to have.

Agree he came onto a VG game. Feared for him/us after he got turned and skinned a couple of times early doors and despite his overall excellent performance I still think they will focus their attack down that side and put him under a lot of pressure. He'll need to be on his game and closely supported.

I thought he was going to be up against after the first few mins of the game, their left winger looked to have the better of him. Grew into the game and seen the back of that player early in the second half. Offers some much needed height and athleticism to the team along with a heck of a long throw. Still improvement to be made when he’s on the ball but definitely deserves a run at right back.

He’s started 5 games in 2023 and has played well in 4 of them (Celtic x2, Hearts & Luzern). The exception being the game away in Andorra where everyone was off it.

What a unit he is and defended well most of the game.
Does seem to have followed Porteous in winning clever fouls when under pressure.

If last nights anything to go by he's going to get battered up and down that flank all season long. We won't be seeing Cads this side of the Bells so if we get through to face Villa we should be spending some of the prize money on a decent back up right back.
Can't believe how the fullback positions have been overlooked so far in this window.

I know nobody got pass marks today but I though Miller was really poor on the ball, for a big lad he seems he get pushed off the ball a lot today

He’s always on the ground,I don’t know if that’s part of his game to win fouls or not but it’s going to catch him out.Obita does similar

Absolutely solid defensively but his biggest weakness is going forward. Can’t beat a man and doesn’t have an eye for a pass. Both areas that can be coached thankfully.

He had a fantastic game on Thursday but doesn’t have what it takes to be a modern day full back. He always seems laboured on the ball, takes an age to do anything and he isn’t the type of player who can work the wing, and never will be. Apart from his throw in he doesn’t really bring anything of an attacking threat.

Let the Motherwell winger skip past him early doors which LJ was going mad about, was unlucky to be booked for a totally innocuous foul, and then was generally fine after that. He has a lot of developing to do, but he is young and and I think he will be a good player. Far worse than him on that pitch today.

He offered nothing going forward today. His technical limitations let him down in games where we need a more attacking outlook. Great in games where the opposition are expansive, lost when needs to unlock a stuffy well organised opponent. Cadden is the other way round but it was a Cadds we needed today

When we signed this laddie, we signed a player with great physical attributes, aggressive, determined and with a bit of talent. He is definitely raw, but he'll get better and better with games. Keep faith in him and I'm convinced start of season Miller and end of season Miller will be like different players.

Put perfectly.
Him and Stevenson will struggle as our fullbacks in games where we need a bit more attacking threat.

:agree:
i think people forget how relatively young he is because he is so physically big / strong and looks older.
Think how much Ellie improved in latter part of last season with a bit of support and managing his minutes. His long throw should not be overlooked and is almost as good a having a decent freekick taker in terms of making chances - we need to develop how we use that to supplement attack

I agree. I've liked him the last few times I've seen him.
I hope we can keep him long term. He's a real asset.

He has had a great last few games. Looks like he would run through a brick wall for teh cause and is decent on the ball too.

He’s very David Gray in the way he bombs about the place putting in challenges. Dave maybe had a bit more going forward, but Lewis has plenty more developing to do - his ceiling will be very, very high. He’s got all the raw attributes and plenty of heart.

The media here in Oz were predicting at the end of the World Cup that Lewis would be in the starting line up at the next World Cup in 4 years time.
He needs to play regularly to get on Arnie’s radar again to fulfill that.
His first season at ER was so injury affected it was almost a write off.
Great to see him now doing well…..and he isn’t even the finished article yet.

Thought he played very well tonight. That Swiss lot were cloggers and I'm glad we put them out. Lewis got it, played well and knew how to draw them in for a foul. First choice right back just now, excellent effort.

Really? Reading this site after the Motherwell game he was Tom Kite and not by any stretch of the imagination a first choice RB. Seasoned posters as well. I'm sure come Sunday he'll be ***** again and normal service will resume.

A real competitor and athlete. He'll have games where his flaws are exposed, but we need to stick with him and coach him through those games.
If we sign a steady eddie rather than developing his talent, we're wasting his and the clubs time.

He took some amount of physical treatment over the 2 legs.
It seemed like it was a bit off.
I can understand why a youngster might be targeted (a bit like Andy McNeil refers to up at St Johnstone in his Longbangers interview) but whilst legitimate concerns may exist re parts of Miller's game, I don't think his physical readiness can be called into question in any way. He stood up to it very well.
