Don't even compare him to Lallana he is not in the same class. McGoldrick has some ability with a bad attitude, and unless he learns to be part of a team is going nowhere. I think the supporters will turn on him shortly. I can see it coming.

I agree, but if picked to play there, he has to discipline himself and play wide. Jay Tabb scored twice coming in on the back post yesterday. McGoldrick wouldn't have got either of those goals because he wouldn't have been there.

No we aren't Nick, this thread is about McGoldrick not Surman or specifically yesterday's match. If you think Surman was a problem then start another thread.

We all know what happened when Euell was taken off last season. McGoldrick is getting pretty close to becoming the same. Lowe may like him, but if he continues to **** off the supporters, he is on his way to an uncomfortable experience.

He shouldn't have even taken the shot on, Pekart had an open goal, and that was the least of his problems. Wrecking the team shape, not covering his colleagues, failing to mark for the second goal was unacceptable.

Don't be daft, Pekart was 5 yds to his left having bust a gut to get there, unmarked with an open goal. Forwards only convert a small number of chances in that position, goalkeepers usually save it. Pekart had an open goal FFS. Furthermore McGoldrick is not a clean striker of the ball, he scuffs more often than he gets a decent strike. He is also selfish, that is why he didn't pass, and didn't play for the team, causing us big problems.

McGoldrick is one of the most self indulgent players I have ever seen. When he plays wide, disciplines himself and provides us with width we play well. There is no big space on the right, that James tries to get into leaving space behind him to be exploited. He spent most of the game yesterday wandering inside as he did against Blackpool leaving no passing option wide. Worse still giving no cover to our right side, allowing opponents to come at us in waves down their left. He let his man go for the second goal and didn't mark him. His passing when he actually decided to pass was poor. He seems the only player in the team that seems to pass as a last resort rather than a first option. His ignoring the passing option to Pekart who had an open goal and was unmarked was disgraceful. What the hell is the manager doing letting him destroy the teams shape, when he should either drop him, take him off or preferably make the idiot play for the team.

You really have to be joking. He should have passed the ball 5 yds to his left for Pekart to tap into an open goal. I would want him to pass to a better placed colleague every time.

More like fannying!

Ben Reeves played left back for the reserves and was marking Ryan Smith.

There is nothing particularly normal about the mood swings of some football fans. Most of it is just over emotional self indulgence or self pity.

Much improved this year, better all round performances. I think the QPR connection was two years ago when he had loads of time, dallied on the ball, lost it and QPR scored out of nothing.

Ron Davies, Jimmy Gabriel, Tony Knapp, George Kirby, Chris Nicholl, George O'Brien, Brian O'Neil etc etc.

I really don't know why you bother explaining. If people really don't understand the implications of administration, or worse do, and let their prejudices overrule common sense, they don't merit attention.

Even if they can see it, they won't understand it.

Or have a feeding frenzy when we lose.

It's a "pup" old boy. I would have bought both of mine and will again. Much better than last year and most of the year before.

The ref just got it wrong, the Norwich player wasn't clever, just clumsy.

No, we are not, we are Southampton.

Barnsley, name- Reuben Noble-Lazarus- 15yrs 45days.

Sums it up nicely for me. I'm delighted with the improvement in KD. He was always a first class shotstopper, he seems to be expanding his game, confidence/distribution/communication and I thought the cross he caught at the end was a collecters piece.

Agree, still whatever the result it's far better than last season. It's going to be a rollercoaster, knowing that, it is much easier to cope with the disappointments, whilst enjoying the football and the effort put in by all the players.

The same way there is a negative feeding frenzy, when we don't win. It seems to me, the people who go to the games have more of an even perspective, whatever the result. When we win, there is a much more objective and passive reaction, but when we lose different posters do get carried away.

Don't expect many on here to understand.

Nick, I wasn't on because I've just got bored with the same prats saying the same thing, week in week out. I really couldn't care less about negativity. Especially from people who don't go to matches, but somehow think that doesn't matter. What's the point in arguing with somebody who hasn't been to watch the team. Great, when we win, a wee bit disapointed with a home draw, better with an away draw, so what we lost, bring on the next game. It's not surprising that people are switching off, watching the same few having a feeding frenzy after a defeat isn't even interesting.
