Big black Ishi, Big black Ishi, running down the wing...... Steady on colt. Ted'll lynch you! If it was good enough for Iffy, it's good enough for Milller. It's not racist , it's a token of affection.

you can say 'black', you can not say 'coloured'
you can't say blackboard, you can say chalk board..even though it's not chalk but plaster of paris apparently..

I think it is shrewd. In fact all this window's business has been very shrewd indeed. We have got rid of a lot of players deemed surplus to requirements in the desperate January window, saving ££££££'s in the process that can be put towards well planned, well priced acquisitions in the summer. People who will strengthen the first team like wells, coady, Robinson and Butterfield. We've spent years wasting ££££££'s on players bench warming. This window and last summer marks an excellent change in approach that will pay dividends. Great work from the club. Last summer? Sorry last summer and excellent change in approach by the club is complete rubbish. (I want to use a swear word but it's a tad early) The deadwood should have been cut loose in the summer Robins included. The club underminded him when they sacked all his back room staff. Any manager worth their salt would have resigned at that point because the writing was on the wall. Instead what the board did was let Robins give Danny Ward a contract extension and bring in Peltier to add to the already growing list of bench warmer's. We brought in 3 first team players in the last window in Butterfield (for Clayton), Coady (for Norwood), and Hudson because it was obvious we've needed a decent centre back for years. We could and should have cleared out the rest of the unwanted senior squad players last summer, but for some mysterious reason we persevered with the squad and manager. To me that isn't excellent work from the club it's very very poor. And to be honest led to this season being a write off now. We'll sign loan players to see us over the line to safety (hopefully) then give Powell reign in the transfer market in the summer. Or at least that's what I'm hoping the board do, but I can not agree with your post about last summer being good for the club it was downright shoddy. I only meant in terms of the players we signed- players whom improved the starting 11. I mostly agree with you on the rest. Dean backs his managers and the last one wanted then players he had we can only assume. He portably hoped we could have ha a start akin to the previous season but it wasn't to be. The way we've shipped em out during Jan window when a number of clubs are desperate for players has been good.

2013/2014 Ishmael Miller - 7 appearances, 3 goals Martin Paterson - 14 appearances, 3 goals Your retort is totally random but i'll play along... Take another look at your source (wickipedia) and you'll see that Miller has played a few games more than 7 this season (some for Forest) You'll also read the following... Ishmael Miller - Career appearances 179, career goals 35 Martin Paterson - Career apperances 238, career goals 59 Anyway, not that I was comparing Miller to Paterson with my original comment. Ishmael Miller is still an oaf But as we know not ALL strikers (odd as it may sound) are goal scorers. They create space for others and do the dirty work for the finishers. They can be the muscle for the lightweight players just like Nakhi and compared to Miller, Vaughan too! I'd be keen to see his assists & key passes etc. I think Grant Holt only scored 2 in 15 (or near to that) but he definitely had a positive effect on the attacking players around him and we looked much more dangerous going forward. So fingers crossed!

Great support there give the lad a chance ffs :mad: Look at his scoring record for fucks sake, might have taken him in League One. What are the board playing at? Holt only scored 2 for us but made the players around him much better by doing the ugly stuff so they got opportunities in the box.

I'm remaining neutral on your post but you use a lot of hindsight references there. What if the score had been Town 4 - Bournemouth 0 back in August. Until you give things a chance you never know how things will pan out. We've probably had scenarios where you might not think it'll work, calibre of the players are no good but for some reason it just does...

Are you using hindsight against my hindsight with the 4-0 comment lol. I'm just making a point that last summer could have been handled better as I personally think the club was far too slow to do what needed to be done. And now here we are.

Although he didn't sign them (Scannell debatable) he seems to like Harry Bunn, Sean Scannell, Jon Hogg and Nahki Wells, all well under 6 foot. So do I. Yes but dynamite comes in short sticks.

btw, once he knocks over a couple of defenders, we might take to him...lots of ways to win football matches, a goal is a goal no matter how many passes it takes, or who bundles it over the line etc...

Referees don't seem to be giving penaltys or free kicks these days for players that go down easily. Miller is built like a brick shithole , and his strenths mean that he can hold the ball well . Got a feeling Powell has brought him in to play a similar role to what Holt did. It will be very interesting to see if Powell or Lillis can get the best out of Miller , as that similar to what they did with Scannell .

The bloke hopefully will try to impress to get chance of staying, Powell seems to be able to get best from certain players. Should be interesting, hope to see him in the home Wolves game.

Seems like a good deal to me, the lad had huge potential, it wasn't allowed to flourish for various reasons. He comes to a club for six months, and if he does well hopefully more. The ball is in his court, we win if he does alright by us, if he doesn't then so be it, we part company at the end of the season. Powell seems to know what he is doing, lets hope he can give the lad the confidence he needs, because given some of the comments on here his confidence may need some boosting. Welcome to Huddersfield town Ishmael, do us proud lad.

Got to give him a chance but surely signing for Town is the "kiss of death" for anyone. A striker with 7 clubs in 8 years? One unwanted by the worst club in Championship memory? Looks like a "lets try and stay up" stop-gap to me. Seriously, you clearly despise this club of ours, so why don't you call it a day and pack it all in.

Looking forward to seeing what Miller can do, thought he looked top quality playing for Yeovil against us a while back. Could be just what we need, real pace and power up there, I'm imagining a more skillful and faster version of the chief but I'm probably getting carried away! The man city connection should help. Could be a superb signing imo.

I've got a funny feeling that Miller could become a bit of a popular player to be fair.

There are some people in life and on here that think doom mongering and always giving critical assessment, negative prediction is somehow clever. I find it boring and utterly pointless. It's ineffective in all spheres of life. I want Miller to be a success for town and us to end the season well, so I believe it and spread that idea which increases the likelyhood of that happening. If I'm wrong I've lost nothing. Negative thinkers are losers in life and I avoid them.

All I know is we seem to sign duds, damp squibs and players no-one else is in for. A long time since a signing set me alight. Of course I want Miller to do well, do I think he will is another matter. I don't despise Huddersfield Town but they are like a senile, flatulent Great-Aunt. You have to visit and be concerned for her welfare but you always wonder what the Hell its got to do with you and wouldn't she be better off passing away in her sleep. I packed in watching England (despite the fact I am going to Milan for the friendly...business trip spin-off). I will never give up on Town

Everything negative is due to poor planning and judgement, whilst any positives are by luck. The club are ultimately the key driver in our success, but some are creating an awful undercurrent with their non-stop sniping, which is way beyond cynicism.
