KENNY MILLER wants his Livingston players to be more clinical – including himself. The player-boss netted his first for his new club on 14 minutes to send them top of Group F. Kenny Miller in action for LivingstonMichael Schofield - The Sun Glasgow But he and his teammates missed chances to kill off Annan. The League Two side could have scored in a late onslaught before Rickie Lamie’s late red. Miller said: “It’s another win and momentum keeps building. We had chances to put them to bed. “If you do that it probably deflates them a bit. It’s nice to get off the mark but I probably should have had a second too. Jack Hamilton in action for LivingstonMichael Schofield - The Sun Glasgow “So it’s not pointing the finger, it’s a collective. We just need to start being more clinical. “When you’re winning by a single goal it allows them to put balls in and put us under pressure but we defended well. “We’ve not quite had that wee bit of breathing space to go and enjoy that last 20 minutes. “But if we keep creating I’m more than sure we’ll put them away. “Do we want to get better? Absolutely. But we’re top of the group and we’re still undefeated.” Annan’s Scott Hooper battles with Miller for the ballMichael Schofield - The Sun Glasgow Miller struck when he raced onto Craig Sibbald’s brilliant pass and reached the ball ahead of Annan keeper Alex Mitchell, who was slow off his line. He missed the chance to grab another after more good play from Sibbald freed Scott Robinson on the right. When his cross reached Miller he could only hammer off the post with the goal at his mercy. Strike partner Jack Hamilton crashed off the woodwork too after smashing goalwards from a narrow angle. Annan sub Aidan Smith missed a great chance to level when he directed a cross straight at Liam Kelly.
