As for what Miller should have done.

Well for a start he should have signed only blokes he sees as big part of a successful club in the future. Hoffman Poljak Labi are not this and will never be.

He hasn't went for youth he hasn't went for quality. He has just signed a pile of lower end nothing.

Where is the purpose in his transfer dealings??
Where is the bigger picture??

Secondly he should have actually formulated a game plan and style of play that the club is working towards. Yeah you can argue the parking the bus shit is doing this but we ain't winning shit in this comp with this style of play. In my mind all though we are more solid defensively this season we are much worse with the ball.

There is no pattern of play developing and nothing is a work in progress. We are going backwards with the ball. To have a successful side we need to improve this.

So far he has 6 months and not one shred of anything that the quality of good play is improving

While I can't argue with your points about current style it's worth remembering how tight the squad/cap space was when miller arrived.

He had 11ish players, all on too much coin, signed by previous admin, and a timeframe to get decent players in, on little money before other clubs could offer them more coin.

In all the talk at the start of his reign he spoke about building for the future and that the cap, and having to honour prexisting contracts makes developing and building a squad difficult..... Add to that a poor history at the club and attracting top players on little coin was always going to be hard.... The young olyroo we just signed, which miller has stated he tried to get in earlier but couldn't, points to him building for next season.

If you've gone and got your hopes up expecting him to be the white knight to ride into town and turn this circus around, that's your own fault. No one could turn around this club in 12 months. If he's punted, who comes in and saves the day? It's an impossible task in the timeframe some want it done in.

His tactics are repetitive and somewhat gutless, but I see that as him wanting to I still discipline in the squad so next year the foundations are strong and he knows more of who can do as they're told and who can't.

Leonardo and Triffunovic are no doubt deadwood. But I reckon the injury to Labi has played a bigger impact on this season than some are caring to admit.
