Millar was very direct and loved to run at his man, but his end product was poor. I recall countless crosses going nowhere near anybody. BUT, he was still the best left winger we had last season.
Maybe if we had players strategically positioned in the vicinity of the penalty spot his 'countless crosses' might've landed on someone's noggin occasionally?
I think we tended to have Bedia up front when Millar played, and despite his height, he wasn't a target man and rarely won anything in the air. That said, I dont recall many of Millar's crosses ending anywhere near the pen spot. I think there was a lot that hit the first defender, and a decent proportion that were overhit and went out of play.
He only played 11 games,I'm sure it wouldn't take you too long to tally them up,create a percentage graph and do a presentation...
FBRef says he completed 3 successful crosses into the area, and that he attempted 37 in minutes equivalent to 6.9 games, which is 8.1% success rate.
He's clearly not worth keeping then...
Not quite, read my next post for more stats. He was by far our best option for left wing, dragging us up the pitch frequently, but his crossing wasn't great. I'd much rather have him on the left wing than many of the people who tried to fill in for him, so Burstow, Lincoln, Joseph, Gelhardt(?), Amrabat... I won't count Barry cos he barely got on the pitch
