Adam Miller forced his way back into Mark Stimson’s squad at the weekend just months after saying his time at Priestfield was done.

Miller (pictured) was offered a pay-off by Gillingham after returning from a loan spell with League 2 Dagenham but he refused that offer and impressed Stimson with his training ground attitude. He was an unused substitute against Colchester on Saturday.

Not everyone, however, was as pleased to see him back and Stimson was horrified at the reaction from some quarters.

Stimson said: "Adam and his people have refused the agreement we’ve offered. With Adam, that’s it. It’s done.

"We had two sessions, Thursday and Friday, and Miller was probably the one jumping out and saying ‘play me, go on’, but you have to think about it because the reception he got walking in front of me before the game was nothing short of abysmal from certain grown men."

Miller has always divided opinion amongst the Gills supporters but his honest appraisal of his lack of action before moving to Dagenham gave ammunition to the critics.

Stimson believes it was just talk and is willing to forgive and forget.
