Title: Miles looks to be a favourite at Pompey
Post by: JayBox325 on Tuesday, December 16, 2014, 09:15:59
My mate at work just forwarded me his Pompey email from last week and look who features on it. Glad he's doing well.

3 goals in 22 games for a league 2 team

Looks like he's been falling asleep and his team mates have been drawing on him.

He has been contributing a lot of assists and generally making play happen from highlights I've watched.

Yeah, I'm not too keen on his choice of tattoo so far... But I'm not in a position to judge :P

My mate is a season ticket holder at Pompey he doesn't rate him and his is by no means a fans favourite.....still early days as loads of his games have been off the bench.

They're discovering the same as successive Swindon managers have.  There is a player in there, but how to get it out consistently is the problem.

So the reality is, that he's as shit as he's always been.

Yep.

So the reality is, that he's as shit as he's always been.
In essence yes, he is seen as an impact player due to his speed but is not anywhere near good enough for a first team place...yet.

He started last week but came off after an hour. He seems to be having his fair share of game time. I don't know but looking at Pompey's line ups recently I think he may be been played on the wing rather than up front in which case the goals to games comparison is pointless really.

Yes he has been played all accross the front line and as a winger on both sides as Westcarr and Taylor are the main strikers.

Left wing being where he has played most games this season apparently but has played wide right too but not much as a striker.

Sounds like he's probably splitting opinion in a similar way to how he did here when he was playing then Pete?!

Yeah I have been reading the Pompey forums too to see if they agree with my mate and a few recon hes their best player attacking wise but most see him as a winger not a striker.

He has such pace and control but frustrates a lot, I fear he will always be a lower league speed merchant who flits between clubs and always divides opinion.

Is he out of contract at the end of this season?

Not sure he fits our style of play really and will probably be playing for Salisbury in a couple of years.

See the owner of my company (also owns shares in Pompey) and one of the directors are Pompey fans and they went to the Oxford game and they were blown away by his pace and they seem liked pretty big fans of his. So yeah, looks to be the same as when he was here: marmite.

Some quotes sort of sum him up from the Pompey forum....

Quote
Awford has repeatedly said that Storey lost his head for a while and needed looking after - that could be for numerous reasons, not just football ones. He's still a kid himself and hasn't played that much prior to coming here. Clearly he has potential but whether that gets translated is likely to be based on what goes on between the ears.


Quote
What I really want to know is why do we persist with Storey, he is awful. He does nothing with the ball.


Quote
I've been crying out for Awfs to give Storey a proper chance up front, and look what happens when he does! He was outstanding last night considering how little he has played and ran his heart out from start to finish.


Quote
Storey flattered to deceive and we felt not as effective as he could have been if he had taken on the Full Back on the outside.

Yeah I suspect you maybe right. That's my fear too.

Couple of my mates are Pompey S/T holders and have said, like most on this thread already, that he divides opinions. Luckily enough for him, he seems to have more for him than against, which is nice to hear. They've said that he get's most of his game time on the wing. I wish him well. Safe to say, he'll not return to Swindon..

Theyve tried that already and he couldnt get in their team iirc

He'll end up on the scrap heap and be Twitter fodder for the Tanswell's.
