Ricky Miller NEP Rumoured Interest

[Chris]

I haven't seen many opinions on this, in fact, I only noticed due to going through the NEP site in order to see if there's anything out there that we can discuss.

Ricky Miller is a good player at this level, however, at 31 and on paper I'm not bothered.

I would prefer Notts to find someone between 25-28 myself, someone with legs and able to contribute to Football League success if we're able to get there. If we want a Non League fighter, I think there's again better out there.

i thought he had retired in all honesty, i cant believe hes only 31. did we not want him when we played in league one?

On loan it wouldn't have been a bad deal, something short term but there's better options out there for the long term.

There’s no doubting his goal record, didn’t he score something like 40 goals in one season?! However that was a couple of years ago now, he’s not played for a year and has had his fair share of off the field issues so the signing would have been a bit of risk.

Scored on his debut at the weekend...  If he gets 10/15 goals backend of the season you’d feel like it was a missed opportunity. (Let’s wait and see though!)

Don’t get me wrong I think a new striker would be a boost but the issue lately has been more about creating chances, since the Wealdstone game we haven’t had tons of chances. Second half against Hartlepool was better but also a bit of an anomaly too, usually if we have that many chances we score at least one.

As @menzinho, it could've been useful with Wes Thomas self isolating.

If there's better that be explored than it's not an issue but it could be a missed opportunity. In form strikers can drive teams into promotion positions.
