Was at the game last night and was really impressed with Matt Holland ... good all round performance and a cracker of a goal too. Maybe it was the presence of Cork Keane that made him get his ass in gear but fair play he did really well.
Also great to see us play some lovely football - some great flowing moves albeit in a 'friegley'

Reid I'll grant you has vision, but the argument is really on Kilbane v Miller. I've seen the latter produce nothing in an attacking sense for Ireland. Granted he's only had a few goes for his country; he controls the ball well, but most of what he passed last night was backwards and he never tried to go past a player.


Look at our goal for christ sake!

For all Kilbanes running forward, he hasn't put an end product on it. I can't think of a chance created from it, that's where the quality of Miller shows, in the final third. Kilbane couldn't do what Miller did for our goal.

You mean pass the ball to an unmarked Morrison on the wing?

My mum could do that.

He had to control it, get past someone and then pick out the pass, and that was just one example, he does that kind of thing all the time. He's capable of delivering a good pass into the final third which is what we need beside Keane.
