You’d think from some comments that every player at Motherwell is Scottish. My earlier point was aimed at what I see as managerial bollocks, not at the fact a player has moved from one country to another. If he'd played any games this season before we sold him he'd be getting played sooner. It's not exactly UEFA Pro License science to think that he needs a few weeks to integrate and get match fit.

That’s UEFA Pro Licence science for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its 10 minutes more than he had last week. Next week he might get 30. The week after he might get a start. Willing to bet thats the most minutes any 19 year old Scot has had in Serie A. Having watched their game against Inter, they have some seriously good midfielders. Its not Harry Paton keeping him out the team.....

Apparently he has signed with Forge FC, a Canadian Premier League team that play their games in Hamilton (Ontario). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to think you've never seen youngsters integrated into new teams before. Giving them a 10 minute workout in a game with no pressure is pretty standard. Otherwise you end up with fans posting on websites calling them dug shite because they hadn't got up to speed instantly with their new team mates the first 60 minutes they played. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the idea of easing youngsters in but let’s not pretend this is the same situation. Miller has already racked up plenty of first team games for his age. A token 10 minutes at 3–0 down does nothing for his development and only wastes the opportunity to actually test him properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Lewis Ferguson barely got a start in his first 3 or 4 months at Bologna to let him settle in before he found himself as a mainstay and captain of the team. Chucking Miller in the deep end when he hasn't played any football since we played Carlisle almost 3 months ago ( 1 minute for Scotland aside) does nothing to help his development either.

wellfan Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago I don’t get why fans either refuse to throw a player in at the deep end or only wish to give them a token 10 minutes in a meaningless game. Football fans are fickle. There is a middle ground, and new players should get meaningful game time to settle in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
