Lewis Miller

[K-Zazu]

If this guy is playing every week then we are in serious trouble, can’t defend, can’t attack, can’t pass.

Strange …opinions eh….him and Rudi looked like the only ones attempting to drive the team forward. A lot worse on the pitch escaping criticism

[SHODAN]

I actually thought he wasn't bad.

[NC1875]

A thread on Miller after that invisible midfield performance ?

He’s the least of our problems

[weecounty hibby]

He was fine. Made a few mistakes but in general he was the one making things happen 2nd half.

[#2 Double Tap]

what utter sh it you read on here. seriously OP, if you aint a jambo, u are deluded, miller was one of only 3 players with pass marks today.....

[hibee_girl]

He was one of our best players today.

He made a few mistakes, he’s not perfect. If he was he wouldn’t be playing for us!

[tonyrougier123]

Thought he was good today motm for me. Hibs anyway.

[duffers]

Thought it was between him, Ohora or Rudi for MOTM

[Alvin]

Not sure how anyone can watch that match and decide to start a thread slagging off Miller. Sure, he’s young, raw and makes poor decisions every now and again, but he’s a guy that is improving all the time as he learns. He’s strong, athletic, has a great attitude and fights for the shirt. In the midst of some horrendous recruitment over the last few years he looks like a rare example of a sound investment.

[K-Zazu]

Right ok then 😂. The first goal he is ball watching, shocking defending.

[tamig]

One of our better players today. In with a shout for motm for me until a couple of sloppy moments in last ten.

[Pytheas]

He was fine, not a great defender but still better than Cadden, got us up the park a few times, more than our entire midfield put together. Created one of our best chances with a good touch and cross for Myko.

[Exuberance1875]

Is his contract out at the end of the season?

[Saint Hibee]

He was my Man of the Match!

[1875Sean]

Agreed time to give megwa a chance, Miller is build like a tank but has the heart of a mouse

[CapitalGreen]

Certainly not one I’d be singling out based on todays performance.

[Pretty Boy]

I didn't think he was all that today. 1st half he was all over the shop position wise, regularly way behind the rest of the line. O'Hora went nuts at him about 4 times for it. At least 2 chances Celtic created came from him playing everyone onside.

He does a lot of highlight reel stuff but often the basics let him down. A prime example was the nutmeg in the 2nd half that got a big cheer, only issue is people were still cheering when he overhit and sliced the pass that followed straight out the park.

He's ok and today's performance was just OK. When you play a pretty big role in one of the goals we conceded then as a defender it's hard to argue you were brilliant.

[Centre Hawf]

I thought he was better overall than some others but criminally slow to react or lack of anticipation for the rebound on the first goal. Needs to sharpen up still.

[PPZPOL]

Right ok then 😂. The first goal he is ball watching, shocking defending.

If it makes you feel any better I see what you see.

[The Modfather]

Is he out of contract at the end of the season? We’ll fluctuate between him and Cadden throughout the season, with neither ever fully convincing, and move him on next summer. Hopefully promoting Whittaker to backup in the process.

[BoomtownHibees]

He was one of our better players today, especially 2nd half

Agree with all the above. He's not perfect, but easily one of the first names on the teamsheet.

[Allant1981]

Possibly our best player today, Miller is the least of our problems

[Allant1981]

You clearly weren't at the game today, defending was fine, was the only one that looked like driving us on in most parts

[blackpoolhibs]

It's amazing that we rarely win but that line gets trotted out every week for different players. :confused:

[Bostonhibby]

Looked like he gave a **** to me, makes mistakes but his attitude and drive makes him look more like captain/leader on the pitch than some I could mention.

Obita far worse (again) for the first goal. Watch him just strolling back allowing Kuhn a tap in.

[Brooster]

This place is crazy, Lewis was one of our top 3 players today. Rudi and O'Hora being the other 2.

[Jones28]

I love .net 😂

[we are hibs]

It was a typical Lewis Miller performance. Does something really good one minute then the next he looks like he's never kicked a ball. About 3 times he done well to get past a Celtic player then overhit the pass forward right after it.

[matty_f]

I thought he was fine today. Culpable at the first goal perhaps for not following the ball in but his overall play was decent.

[Mikey_1875]

I’m not so keen on him generally but can recognise he currently lands in the “least of our problems” category.

[.Sean.]

Mad how different everyone sees the same game, I thought he had an absolute shocker

[HibeeSince85]

I thought his passing was slack and no idea what that pirouette was in the second half at the edge of the box that could've cost a goal

Good powerful running though and when he does that he is a threat.

[TrinityHFC]

Yeah until he decides to fall over. He has all the attributes but his decision making and his inability to stay on his feet are frustrating. Would prefer a more solid player in that position. He’s the sort of player that contributes to us being so flaky.

[DH1875]

WTF......one of if not our best player on the park today. Mental.

[Alfred E Newman]

WTF......one of if not our best player on the park today. Mental.

Agree, I thought he had a reasonable game given the opposition and the pressure he was under on that side.

[cameronw-hfc]

Miller has his faults, and the wee spin at the edge of the box was mental today but otherwise he was one of our better players. Not sure he deserved this thread

[A Hi-Bee]

Play him as a 10 let him run at them.
He was fine today, just not the brightest of football players perhaps.

[RIP]

He tries stuff. He gets stuck in. He's still young and learning.

Others play safe.

I know which I'd rather see

[JohnM1875]

Miller comfortably my MOTM today, thought he was one of the only ones who played well both halfs. Tried a daft wee turn at the edge of our box late in the second half but luckily nothing came of it.

[worcesterhibby]

Apart from him trying to do a marseille roulette outside his own box and diving near their corner when he could have just put in a cross, I thought he was one of the few who done ok

[BSEJVT]

I really struggle with Lewis Miller but other than 2 huge errors and his always poor passing couldn’t fault his effort

Nowhere near our worst player today

Without thinking too hard

Newell

Campbell

Levitt

Obita

Kuka

Bursic

Marv

Boyle

Were all far worse and with the possible exception of Marv far less committed than him today

That Miller with all his faults was one of our 4 best starters today possibly our best tells you everything you need to know about how truly pish we have become

That’s the last thing you could accuse him of.

[Smartie]

I’m not so keen on him generally but can recognise he currently lands in the “least of our problems” category.

I think that having such inconsistent, rash, raw and error prone players as the “least of our problems” is very much part of our problem though.

It was mixed bag from him as usual but for us to get anywhere, we need to have 6 or 7 players playing better than that.

And for me, only Molotnikov was better than him today.

[greenlex]

Right ok then 😂. The first goal he is ball watching, shocking defending.
Agreed.

[gaz1875]

If this guy is playing every week then we are in serious trouble, can’t defend, can’t attack, can’t pass.

One of the best performances on our team and you slag him off? Where was the cover from the left sided midfield when he had 2-3 players running at him.

[WestStandWillie]

Terrible player. Not aided a ***** midfield and the regressing Boyle

[Allant1981]

Terrible player. Not aided a ***** midfield and the regressing Boyle

He really isn't a terrible player, some nonsense gets posted on here at times

[gbhibby]

Was far from the worst player today. Gray needs to sort out the way the team set up. Boyle not good enough to merit a start at the moment. There is not enough passing and movement. Defence is not organised Marv was playing far too deep played Celtic players onside
Too many wayward passes and players being out muscled by players smaller that them.
Should have stayed at home and cut the grass than watch that today.

[B.H.F.C]

I thought he was one of our better players today. Actually wanted to be positive on the ball which was sadly lacking throughout the team.

[wookie70]

Looked lively, actually won a few physical battles and I would play him and C Cadden down that side and drop Boyle. Hoping Cadden 2.0 or Hoilet can play on the left and Rudi can move more central. That would get Boyle and Campbell out the team both of who are way off teh pace.

Definitely wouldn’t be against getting rudi into the middle.

[Forza Fred]

Yes, he makes mistakes, but if you are looking for players who don’t I’d suggest you won’t find many in a Hibs strip.

In fact, you won’t find many anywhere.

[stalbanshibby]

Right ok then 😂. The first goal he is ball watching, shocking defending.

They were all ball watching. Sure he could have picked up Forrest, but overall Miller was one of the few yesterday (IMHO) who had a decent game.

MacGregor's goal - there were 4 Hibs players round the Celtic player who made the pass to MacGregor and he still found his man. The Hibs players were standing off, not tackling, trying to intercept and the guy (Kuhn was it) outwitted them all. And because 4 players had been sucked in, MacGregor had acres of space. It's clueless football. Hibs players were mesmorised.

[Iain G]

Oh he is. Was all over the shop yesterday, cherry on the top was the fancy pirouette he done at the edge of the box culminating in losing possession and narrowly avoiding a 3rd goal being conceded.

Megwa should be ahead of him in the pecking order.

[NAE NOOKIE]

what utter sh it you read on here. seriously OP, if you aint a jambo, u are deluded, miller was one of only 3 players with pass marks today.....

Absolutely. He's far from the perfect player, but at least yesterday he was one of the few who looked annoyed at the first half performance and tried to drive us forward ... As you say, one of three players who were responsible for our 2nd half performance being better than the first half, for what it's worth.

[LaMotta]

There is no way on earth Megwa should be ahead of Miller right now.

[eastmainsmsh]

He is still raw great potential tho good having Miller Megwa and Whittaker who can all play right back Millers position just now

[erin go bragh]

If our midfield put in half of the effort Miller put in.
Still a young player and with the right coaching, could become a very good player but this site is poisonous just now.

What are you basing that on? Whenever I've seen Megwa, not a lot tbf, he certainly doesn't look ready to be our starting right back.

[Phil MaGlass]

I watched Miller, full of energy and gerintaethum, more of the same from the lad please, but his wee dance where he lost the ball and they almost scored needs tae be cut oot, hes no me ffs.

Always said there is too much pressure on players these days :whistle:

[worcesterhibby]

We could do without this, but hopefully, won’t keep him out of our team, just the international. I love his commitment and drive. Been going down less this season too. Still not perfect, but if he was, he wouldn’t be at Hibs.

[Cabbage-Patch]

Maybe time for Megwa to step up and justify the faith put in him by the club. Cadden is not a natural right back IMO

[Bushwoof]

I'd love Megwa to be better than Miller but every time I've seen him he's been all over the place defensively, and looks more like a winger than a defender. Better hope Miller's injury isn't serious.

Strange as i thought the general consensus with Megwa was that he was good defensively and could cover across the back 4 but not quite as good going forward yet.

[Donegal Hibby]

I wouldn’t rule that out though a big possibility is also that awful challenge on him that could easily have been a red card .

If miller is out injured and misses games I think Gray would revert to a back 3 with Iredale instead of putting Megwa straight in

No point in giving him a long term deal if we don’t want to play him. Given he’s not out on loan, you’d be wondering what the plan is for him if he can’t get any game time.

Thought Saturday was the first time we’ve had a proper shape about us and looked a bit more of a unit. Would be daft to change IMO.

I've been calling for a start here and there, honestly don't want to see 3 at the back vs St Johnstone unless it's a 3-4-3, if it is a 3--5-2 have a feeling it will be the Cadden brothers on both flanks.

[SHODAN]

My first impression of him was he's a raw talent.

Two years later, he still comes across as "raw". Would like to see him become more cooked soon.

[ChuckNor]

Lewis Miller is the least of our concerns. A more than capable right back with a lot of potential. I think he will have a very decent career and may make us a small return, should we decide to extend his contract.

Does he have much more potential? I’m not convinced. He’s 24 so not an inexperienced youngster anymore and still as raw as when he arrived. He might improve a bit, but I think the player he is now is probably the player he’s always going to be. I’d make do with him this season but move him on next summer if he’s one of the ones out of contract. Same goes for Cadden IMO.

I think if we did, we'd be looking at him turning in decent performances for another side e.g. St Mirren and wondering what we did wrong. Problem is for the last 4-5 years management has been awful and it's telling the likes of Miller and Campbell haven't kicked on, whereas Trantis obviously has for example.

Anyone can be brave , 100% committed though not all footballers are . I thought he had a very good game against Killie , probably the most fouled player in our squad . Personally I like him and don’t think he’s a problem.

I thought he was one of the best players both games v Celtic.

I think Miller has started the season relatively well and probably been our best defender. Not a particularly high bar, but still think he’s been the best of the bunch.

He’s still got a lot to prove though. He’s only now really establishing himself as first pick, I don’t think anyone would be rushing to pay a million quid for him any time soon. Still has to show he can play consistently well at our level.

I'm firmly in the camp of backing our players, and i think LM offers a lot.

However, its worth noting he wasnt part of the Mariners side that won the league under Montgomery. He left in the 2021-22 season for Hibs, the season CCM finished 5th, and lost to Adelaide 3-1 in the 'finals', they also lost to Melbourne V in the FFA Cup Final.

It was the 22-23 season they won the A-League.

[ekhibee]

I really can't make my mind up about Miller, I wasn't all that big a fan of his last season, his positioning was sometimes really poor and he fell over far too easily, this season he still falls over a lot but his positioning is much better and he's making a better contribution all round IMO.

Going to be very difficult for Oz to qualify now after dropping 5 points in the first two games.

Travelling not ideal but at least they won’t be doing it on the back of running about in the heat for 90 minutes. Need players as fresh as possible for Saturday.

High praise from Gray about Miller .. his athleticism and commitment is very good maybe there’s aspects of his game he needs to work on though not a bad player to have and good luck to him with Australia….

Shock horror, manager praises player, he's hardly going to say he falls over with the slightest gust of wind.

Nor would he say he's brutal on the ball and is put on his erse by very average players.

But then again, he's part of a defense that leak goals most games for fun, so what does he know?

[BILLYHIBS]

The same guy that rated Josh Campbell so highly so no surprise

Miller is poor but who else have we got that can play right back ?

Hope he is looking at full backs that can actually play full back come the summer clear out or perhaps has a youngster who is already here in mind ?

Maybe he does go over a bit easy at times as do a lot of other players too , one thing though he’s probably our most fouled players and a lot of the time he gets some rough treatment as well…

Ndaba’s tackle being a prime example not too long an ago .. anyhow nice to see one of our players getting a call up and Gray acknowledging it especially with all the negativity that’s been going on ! .

DG reckons he can be whatever he wants to be! I think he has all the physical attributes to be the very best in his position but I don’t know what goes on in his head. Any winger playing against him knows to take the ball up to him, slow him down and then just run away from him because he has no acceleration and therefore rarely is capable of stopping crosses. Going forward he is ponderous and don’t start me on about his ridiculous embarrassing diving! It would be interesting to know what he wants to be and whether he thinks he is on his way to achieving it.

Sorry but miller's touch is no where near as bad as you are making out. You also described most players these days when they get the slightest touch, annoying yes but that's how it is. He has clearly been instructed to get the ball over the top down the right hand side, yes a fee passes went astray but again no where near as bad as you are making out

Couldn't care less if I seen Miller play for us again, just a big lump with minimum skills and topples over with a gust of wind, we need so much better.

Lies damn lies and statistics

Got to be honest can only remember two passes going out of play first half but can remember him getting caught in possession Motherwell players were on him in a flash and moves breaking down only one successful dribble out of three for example 7 crosses that never found a man and 7 misplaced passes

Does not seems to have progressed at all sad to say and stop this going to ground for nonexistent fouls ( Ibrox )

As you said...'Shock horror, manager praises player....'. For example, prior to last weekends' game Gray was quoted that Youan had trained well and was showing good commitment and energy. Why then did Gray overlook Youan last Saturday and put on three forwards ahead of him.

A fundamental aspect of a football manager's job is to improve the players that he has got.

Gray has been the manager for around three months now and will have had loads of time on the training pitch to improve Miller. Gray being a right back also, you would think that Miller would have improved. He hasn't. Last Saturday was the usual falling on his erchie, bounding forward heading up dead ends, misplaced passes, losing 1:1 battles and his standard poor defensive positioning.

Bar the rare juggernaut display when Miller ascends to an ordinary performance, he is one of the weakest parts of our team.

If Gray doesn't replace Miller, it's probable that Miller will still be at the club when Gray departs.

Would need a link to compare with other players. Still finding it a bit hard to grasp, what do they even mean by possession? Does that include the missed passes, crosses and long passes?

Miller often invites contact. He knows he can hold players off due to his physique, or that he gets fouled. I'm sure I read that he was one of the most fouled players in the league last year.

[Tambo]

I'm in the camp of hasn't progressed as much as we had hoped, still has his moments in games, did play well Vs Kilmarnock and one of the Celtic games when he just kept it simple on the ball and didn't try anything silly.

He did say he wanted to be the best RB in the league in an article in the past.

Was fouled three times on Saturday

The 7 crosses to no one and the 7 misplaced passes do not help his cause

Face facts he is a donkey :greengrin

[Unseen work]

I think Miller has progressed tbf in some departments, but he’s not cutting out the moments of stupidity he has

I think defensively he is good and would be a bit of a nightmare to play against due to his physicality- I can see English teams wanting him for this reason.

But for me he really needs to;

Improve his passing, especially longer passes/in behind
Use his size and stop trying to buy fouls. Refs are used to him doing it now
Improve decision making

And overall just simplify his game a bit. Let him know he’s a big unit and he needs to realise what he’s good at and not so good at

He is a big threat coming down the right at times though

I thought after a shaky start initially in the Sevco game he got better and had a decent game too.

I think there’s a player there. Has a lot of good attributes but I just don’t think he’s received the quality of coaching he needs. If he leaves in the summer, there won’t be a shortage of takers.

[Bobby's Cinema]

I really can't make my mind up about Miller, I wasn't all that big a fan of his last season, his positioning was sometimes really poor and he fell over far too easily, this season he still falls over a lot but his positioning is much better and he's making a better contribution all round IMO.
Neither can I. And that's not even from week to week it changes mid-game.

I do like his style but one minute he is aggressive and does an outstanding bit of work and the next it's poor decision making giving away clear chances to score.

There's a couple of times I've stood and said I thought he was in with a shout of MoTm before recalling 'apart from when he gave it away that almost lead to the goal. oh and apart from the other time when he..'

No, not you. Look at some of the posts on here.

I have tried to find the stats you refer to and asked for a link a couple of times, so I can look at comparison's with other players. I suspect speculative crosses stats into the box aren't that great a measure of performance. Misplaced passes, again are these stats including clearances as a measure of passing success?

Can anyone else shed light on this stuff? A link would be helpful (I think I asked for this at least twice before-not sure why you can't just post it).

Your eyes and brain give a very subjective view on what you see. I think I and others have said that Miller had a poor game on Saturday. I have said that he doesn't seem to be progressing as we would like.

Edit:-found a link https://www.sofascore.com/team/football/hibernian/2354

Miller is 7th highest performer from the 18 players who have featured this season. The stats show he had a poorer than average (by his standard) game on Saturday. He is fouled considerably more than Obita, gives away fewer fouls. Has a much higher dribble rating, loses possession slighly more. Clears the ball less, successfully completes more long passes.

TBH, it's interesting, but not really as a stick with which to beat players with.

China are a terrible football team.

Initially anyway, the millions were invested on outside talent rather than nurturing homegrown players. Chinese football seems to have fallen off the radar after the initial interest so no idea if they still have the same amount of foreign stars these days.

He lost possession 24 times today though :greengrin. Sofascore is now my bible. Lewis had a rating of 8/10 today. He was also Australia's most fouled player.

Miller has improved for me in his time at hibs,big unit! will have a decent career, not infallible at times but generally I’ve been very pleased when I’ve seen him this season. Daft as a brush which is great because the scrutiny dealt out by Hibs supporters stretches the length of princess street.
Might as someone said be a decent shout at CB but we aren’t in any position to be experimenting with players just now. Need to be getting the basic level of keeping it simple and robust at the moment.

It doesn't say he constantly lost possession, though. The poster said the stats show he lost possession 24 times. It's one sided and designed to focus on a negative, as it doesn't say how many times he retained possession. That could have been 50 or 100 times, which makes a difference over all.

Yip been pulled up for it before not the first time and not the last :greengrin

[eastmainsmsh]

He lost possession 24 times today though :greengrin. Sofascore is now my bible. Lewis had a rating of 8/10 today. He was also Australia's most fouled player.

Well done to him. Hopefully he can bring some form and confidence back with him.

Well done LM great potential hope he kicks on

I always wonder when people quote stats for an individual’s performance in a particular game whether they actually watched the game.

I did, and while Lewis wasn’t man of the match, he was constantly involved in taking the ball up the right wing, and frequently when the ball was taken up the left was in a dangerous unmarked position on the right, which, if the play had been switched would have been a scoring opportunity for him..unfortunately it was only switched once and Lewis went close with a shot from the edge of the area which flew just over the bar.

Yes, a few times his passes went astray, but no more than most of the Oz team who were trying to adapt to the new coach’s tactics, which involved short speedy reverse passes, and obviously needs a few days more practice on the training ground.

Lewis is doing fine.

Got up well for his header …

Miller gets a lot of stick on here. Not sure its warranted.

Hell only get better and, as someone pointed out, will be sold for a pretty penny.

He does need to get better at falling over to win the foul, or at least pick when and not when to do it, Porto had it down to an artform!
Agree a lot of unwarranted criticism.

Agree a lot of unwarranted criticism.

Indeed. Previous targets for the haters on here are Alen Orman, Steven Whittaker, Steven Fletcher, Garry O'Connor, Mixu, Stuart Lovell and Lewis Stevenson.

Lewis in particular was quite clear it influences players.

All have played at a far higher level than us, and we wonder why some players lack confidence?

Don’t recall much hate for either Steven Fletcher or Garry O'Connor unless it was O'Connor‘s second spell?

O'Connor was well out of shape, and in trouble with police in his second spell, so got some well deserved stick for that.

Was he not laughing and joking after the cup final against them? When most of us wanted the ground to swallow us up.

Aye. Was a favourite of mine, but soured that in the second spell.

The next season wasn't pretty, but Fenlon got some guys in like Doyle who could graft and wanted to be there. I mind seeing O'Connor in the famous five during the wotherspoon derby, overweight, fake tan, giving it the big one, and I was so pleased he was away. Unprofessional. Excellent footballer though.

What level did Lovell play at again?

[CapitalGreen]

O’Connor got plenty stick while Williamson was manager.

[Donegal Hibby]

English Championship I think.🤔

[1875Sean]

Did he? Young striker scoring loads of goals and getting in the Scotland squad?

[K-Zazu]

English Championship I think.🤔

Whilst I agree with your post, the played at a far higher level than us line is a bit out there.

Lovell played in a 1990s English Championship which wasn’t awash with the same money it is now. He joined a Hibs squad containing the likes of Sauzee and Latapy.

Unless Raith are a much higher level than us then you can count Stevenson out too.

Alan Orman - Hibs probably the biggest club he played for and if not “far higher level” is definitely a big push.

[Forza Fred]

International level

[Since90+2]

International level

That doesn't really count though. Guys who play for San Marino play at international level.

We've had guys over the years who've played at international level for Scotland who weren't exactly great either. Lee Wilkie and Gary Kenneth spring to mind.

[matty_f]

His first involvement in the Australia game that’s on now was to fall over to win a free kick.

Could just have said “was to get fouled”

Orman played champions league.

[ChilliEater]

I took the "us" in "far higher level than us" to mean the posters on Hibs.net, rather than the club. Which I would imagine is true, other than for the possibiity of a small number of posters being current or ex players, but I doubt they'd be the ones criticising as they have a better understanding of what playing professional football is all about.

He was in the Brass Monkey after that game, wasn’t looking too clever.

No you don't - you know how YOU like YOUR steak cooked :wink:

Anyway, not sure of the relevance to my post, which was only meant to point out a potentially different interpretation (which may be completely wrong) of the post being discussed :confused:

Lovell was a striker for Reading played well in Wing back when moved there with us

He almost made it to the Premiership with Reading . He had a penalty I think at 2-0 to Reading which was saved and the rest as they say is history….

[Forza Fred]

Lewis subbed after 81 minutes as a result of being absolutely knackered from running up and down the wing against Japan in Tokyo.

1-1 final score and Lewis delivered the cross from the right that the Japanese defender sliced into his own goals to give Oz the lead at that point.

I think he’ll sleep soundly on the flight back to the UK.

Goal and assist for Mixu in there

[Baader]

Stubbs in there too! Great game of football but no penalty miss in that highlights, bit odd.

A wee rampage out from the back from Stubbs too.

His goal celebration brought back a few good memories too :greengrin

[Hibees1973]

Must be one of the worst right backs to pull on a Hibs jersey I've seen.

[Unseen work]

Today was brutal.

I’m sure the last time he returned from international duty with Australia he was really poor too.

Surely has an effect

[Northernhibee]

Must be one of the worst right backs to pull on a Hibs jersey I've seen.

No pace, can’t pass, can’t defend, can’t stay on his feet. Hideously bad footballer.

Good assist today but a stopped clock and all that.

[Shrekko]

Another player you watch doing the same things every week and wonder what these qualified coaches are seeing. Especially the manager who played in that position.

Never seen a guy who can play himself into trouble so often when there is no apparent danger when he receives the ball.

Utterly woeful.

[B.H.F.C]

Continually asking him to hurl long throws in to the box sums up the lack of ideas we have. Even getting him to swap sides and do it today ffs.

He’s a poor player who has the occasional good game.
