A big well done to George Miller today who opened his Walsall account with a brace , a lad who has taken stick on various social media without justification has answered in the correct manner , lets hope it is not a flash in the pan & he kicks on after an excellent start , well done George
Found his level dropping a couple of leagues. Hope he continues to bang them in so we can get some of our outlay back from him.
Brilliant start for him. Will boost his confidence no end. Sometimes you need to drop down to come back up.
Last year of his contract so will leave next summer on a free. Probably after banging in 20 goals for Walsall knowing our luck!
Well done to the lad. Not good enough for Championship football (yet) but will do his confidence a world of good if he scores some goals and gets regular games. I wish we’ll for the future, wherever that may be.
Sounds like George had a cracking debut. Two goals, hit the woodwork, and unlucky not to get a hat-trick, according to the Beeb. Well done, young man. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58444823
Think we'd have to offer him a contract on the same wages or higher and for him to turn it down for compensation to kick in.
Just watched the highlights. Two cracking goals - pace, strength and confidence for both. A few good efforts too. If he keeps playing like that, there’ll be some demand for him in L1/L2 without doubt.
If he keeps showing those attributes we might end up recalling him in January, and asking if they want one of Cole or Adeboyejo.
Just had a look at the Walsall forum, lot of posts about George which will do him the world of good. Love the way it gives an estimated read time of the topics https://upthesaddlers.com/
Those with long memories will remember a certain David Speedie, who was vilified by fans in the days before social media.
Yeah - the lad just needs to develop his game and get match time. Only then can you judge if he can do it in the Championship. As YT said - he’s a good lad and better than most think. He’s always given 100% when he’s come on. As a fan, that’s all we can ask for. Boro signed him, and we signed him - clearly shows there’s something about him.
