Nolan Miller

I'm not on the podcast, but I absolutely, I know I told somebody, I was like, oh, no, Cartagena will be back there.

Yes, because for all the we believe in all of our players talk that we get, it's clear that we don't believe in all of our players because there was a center back on the bench for this game, Nolan Miller, who hasn't played in a while.

I get it.

And then Adrian Marine has also played some center back, and he also was not in the starting lineup, but I'm fine with that.

I think without Max Grapeau in the first half, we would have been screwed, in my opinion.

Nolan Miller needs to play for 1 million signing.

Iago says, Mo Bamba says, I am glue, but the second half whistle makes me shudder.

I literally wanted to throw up as the second half started the post-match conference.

I don't want to depend on other people to get us in.

We need to do it ourselves.

Now, the first thing I will say, and I don't know if Luis has heard something similar, and he's more than welcome to let me know, Nolan Miller will not be the replacement for David Breccolo on the weekend.

It will be one Peruvian Wilder Cartagena, from what I have heard, is the

perfect example, Luis.

Nolan Miller played with OCB down the stretch, right? He played the last three or four games for OCB.

When he first came back from injury, Nolan Miller didn't look great.

He looked like he had just come back from injury.

But by the third and fourth game, Nolan Miller looked much better than the first game he was back.

Because again, game experience matters.

And so...

So, yeah, I'm looking forward to getting this again.

I mean, guys, just as an example, in that game, we started Breckolo and Nolan Miller at center back.

against nycfc in that match um we played tahiri brown at left back not even on the team anymore right uh well he's

a u.s open cup champ

We have Marin.

We have Nolan Miller, right? I'm just looking at who we have listed in addition to the folks we've been talking about.

We have Vinicius Nogueira.

Clovis is listed as a defender on the first team site, I'm saying.

Now, if he puts a three back, it allows the other team to prepare a little better.

Okay, we're going to have what? Ooh, Nolan Miller.

If Cartahan is not available and Otavi is not available.

Well, no, you

Uh, O- Otavio, which he, he had some turnovers, but overall, I think him and Cartagena look okay, and they're in the middle.

And then, uh, Iago, which we had to put him on because it was either him or [laughs] or Nolan Miller.

You know what I mean? So I, and I think-

Right

How many different configurations and swaps of the midfield this season have we had?

We even had Nolan Miller as our center back in the beginning.

Nolan Miller and Iago played a game together.

Yeah, yeah.

I mean, listen, I'll say this.

Here, we've seen that he's just played center back.

And I think some of it is probably because we haven't had nobody from our center of our corps step up.

So Nolan Miller, Iago, haven't been the very best.

Obviously it's, it's cool to see the big stars like Grizzy and, um, and, you know, Tinjo and all these other guys, but to see guys like Zak Taifi, Bernardo Ryan, you know, all these guys that have gone-

Nolan Miller, too

... yeah, to see all these guys go through the academy and see that they're playing with the first team, and then basically, like you said, Luis, pointing at them and saying, "Well, why can't that be me in a couple of years," right? And so, 'cause one thing that we've talked about a lot, guys, is Orlando City's academy has a ton of talent.

They continue to-
