Jose Riga: 'Ishmael Miller is close to best form'

Jose Riga is optimistic that Ishmael Miller can produce his best form on a regular basis for Blackpool.

Blackpool manager Jose Riga has claimed that Ishmael Miller is beginning to show that he can return to his best form once again.

Miller has struggled in the early stages of the new season, but played a key role in his team's first Championship win against Cardiff City last Friday, and Riga is hopeful that the striker can continue to deliver the goods.

"When I spoke to him for the first time, I said it's not normal that at the moment you forget yourself and you cannot recognise this player," the Belgian told reporters.

"What you did in the past, you can still do it, but it's up to you - I can just give advice.

"He's improving but for all of us, the most important thing is not to reach this level but to stay at this level. To be able to stay you have to do more, so he has to do more."

Miller signed a one-year contract with Blackpool in the summer.
