I'm guessing our opinion on miller as an rb differs
Not sure, Don’t think so. I think they maybe the same.

I was saying that Miller is the athletic type they are trying to make into a RB like you were saying how they pick athletes over skill.

Unless you think Miller is a skill player, then yes we disagree

Ange, when he first went to the Roar, he had all training including laps around the field, running between flags etc done with the ball at the players feet...

Twas said he improved every players skill level even at an older age... their touch on the ball became softer, and passing improved..

Its an interesting concept, i.e. every fitness training must be done with the ball at your feet.

Ange said at the time it was needed as the base skill level was lacking in many players... he even hired an expert in this area of fitness training to run these sections... twas said every single aspect of the Roars fitness training for two years was done with the ball at players feet..

Along with us they were the fittest team in the league at the time so it does not reduce a players fitness levels.

Wonders if players like Miller nay all our players could improve with this fitness training.

I think hes perfect for RB because of his athletic abilities yes. I think his football abilities are underrated because he has brain farts too often for most peoples liking. The brain farts are absolutely something he can train himself out of.

His attack needs alot of work. So far I’ve seen nothing that suggests he will succeed as an attacking RB but I agree he has the athletic ability to be an excellent RB.

I think this is the year he kicks on and starts linking up well with the attack or is right out the back door of the club at seasons end if he can’t add that to his game.

Time will tell but turning a CB into the right wing section of a modern day RB will be the most difficult. I hope he proves me wrong.
The kid certainly puts in the effort

He puts in better crosses than Nigro ever did. BUT hes raw af. And really personally I hate that players that punch in blind crosses anyway. I'd rather he dribbled past blokes as close to the byline and slide in a ball for the strikers to get just outside the 8ys box. Ala GA and McBreen days.

players like Miller
Need less playstation and more study of some sort. Concentration wanes. Needs to take responsibility for his cock ups too. Great deal of potential but lacking maturity. Hoping the senior players help him...if he can accept the help. It'll become clear early if he keeps drifting into the centre and leaving a player to come in on the left where he should be. If i was playing against us I'd overload that side regularly.

All that said he's a big unit and fit, full of enthusiasm and likes to have a go forward. I think his success or failure is going to boil down to how coachable he is. Millenials always know best... surely i was never like that at that age?!

He's not a millennial. I'm 37 and I'm a millennial. 1981-1991.

Hes a gen Z and is a product of gen X parenting. But thats actually irrelevant because boomers are the problem with the world

You're all millennials to me, cry moar!! I'm just joking of course. It's not one generation or another just the softness of youth which seems to get softer in our perception the older we get...

I'm having trouble trying to figure out what Monty's formation is likely to be. However I look at it we need at least 1 or 2 starters. (I've left Matty out of consideration but he may well surprise again). On top of that I think we need 3 backup signings and will rely again on the NPL2

As a 4-2-3-1 it could be
------------------Birighitti---------------
Hall-------Tongyik--------Rowles------Smith
----------Nisbet---------Bozanic-----------
NEW RAM------------Urena--------------Muller
-----------------New Striker----------------

As a 4-4-2
------------------Birighitti---------------
Hall-------Tongyik--------Rowles------Smith
New RM----Nisbet-------Bozanic---Muller
----------Urena------New Striker

As a 4-3-3
------------------Birighitti---------------
Hall-------Tongyik--------Rowles-----Smith
----------Nisbet-------Bozanic---
-----------------Muller--------------
New RW------Urena------New LW

Subs
Backup Keeper, Backup CB, Backup CAM
Hatch, Miller, Smylie, Cahill, Tsekenis, Simon, Balard & maybe Tapp

With those formations I wonder why we let Casella go.

Has anyone heard anything about Bouman? Another piece that could fit your puzzles.

He`s still listed on TRANSFER MARKT as our player but he hasn`t used his Twitter account since our season ended.
I hope he stays with us as he has a lot more to give and would really grow under Monty... :popcorn:
