Its happening again.....
Yeah...well...um.... at least BK has got a club.....unlike "Lovemedo" who left some time ago now for promised fame and riches.
"Keepermania III"
Last year
At the Forum last night listening to Miller speak, he does remind me a little like a politician in that a couple of times he babbled on without actually answering the question but nonetheless he makes a lot of sense in what he says. a lot of times as supporters we are quick to fire shots without knowing the full story or the big picture behind the scenes.
Last season was virtually like "ground zero" and like starting the club all over again and building the foundations all over again with the basics. Keeping that stability and continuity is the key now and I totally agree that throwing big dollars at a big name Marquee is not the priority for the club at this stage of the rebuilding process.
Miller is confident that he is building and strengthening the team now with players that he thinks can take the club to the next level...although I disagree to a certain extent that he "inherited" the squad last year (as mentioned by Andy Roberts); yes to a certain extent but not entirely....as mentioned, bringing in a Marquee would potentially change the dynamics of the squad and even the relationships within the squad. I can certainly see the logic behind this.
As we've seen in the 11 year history of the A League no Marquee player guarantees success.
Personally I felt for the most part he was full of shit
The last thing he said about not being happy with last season's results and believing it wasn't good enough struck a cord with me
That being said I don't think he has done enough on the transfer market to address it this season coming
I found his remarks about young players being given a go by him far from the truth. He blew a lot of smoke up the arse of the EJ kids he has had filling in at first team training. If he thinks they are good enough then he is either lying or delusional. These are the kids who conceded 10 in the NPL two weeks ago
They also conceded 7 V Olympic early this season
They are not a patch on recent sides at that level
If they were as good as he claimed he would have put them on NYL deals by now
As for his claim the fans in Newy got very negative last season when we were going through our mid season meltdown and his claim that we were good at it.
He does realise it was his shitful coaching that was seeing the side strangled with the bus parking shit that was the problem??
Matter of fact the only bloke who came out of it with any increased reputation in my eyes was Griffiths

How handsome did the Griff look? immaculate as ever?
As for Miller, his early season performances of coaching like a coward then blaming the players was a disc-race.
towards the end of season through some good recruiting (which he should be credited with) saw the teams personality change for the better.
if he keeps going forward with that then awesome.
if he goes back to the tripe tactics he dished up early doors then I'm not interested.
guess we'll find out soon enough huh.
Last season, Miller came in late with little preparation and half a squad. I think he had a couple of months to cobble together a side with little money.
Started well, went wrong in the middle of the season and improved significantly later in the season.
As a rookie coach, if he learnt from that barren period and has adapted to suit (looks like he has), all is well.
