dan17 Posted 19 November, 2010 Share Posted 19 November, 2010 Good article IMO - just so gutted that they both don't play for us week in week out in the prem. Yeah, I know the prem isnt everything but just think about the team we could have had....... Hey ho. Huge game tomorrow - COYS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smirking_Saint Posted 19 November, 2010 Share Posted 19 November, 2010 "Southampton’s record for producing successful players was certainly impressive during this era, with Chris Baird, Leon Best, Dexter Blackstock, Mike Williamson, Scott McDonald, Matthew Mills and Nile Ranger among the others to forge good careers." Just sort of makes you wonder why we have stopped using the Lodge if it helped produce these players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 19 November, 2010 Share Posted 19 November, 2010 "Southampton’s record for producing successful players was certainly impressive during this era, with Chris Baird, Leon Best, Dexter Blackstock, Mike Williamson, Scott McDonald, Matthew Mills and Nile Ranger among the others to forge good careers." Just sort of makes you wonder why we have stopped using the Lodge if it helped produce these players. The lodge makes little difference in terms of quality of the players, it is the youth scouting and coaching that produced these players. IMO the system they switched to in the summer - i.e. basing players in families around the city, is a better way to develop the academy players. As it gives them a more natural life outside of football, as opposed to a group of teenagers living it up all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 19 November, 2010 Share Posted 19 November, 2010 I always thought a lodge worked better than the way it is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeweahscousin Posted 20 November, 2010 Share Posted 20 November, 2010 I hate it when Scott McDonald is listed as a success. He is crap. Scored goals in the SPL? Big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Made in Southampton Posted 20 November, 2010 Share Posted 20 November, 2010 I hate it when Scott McDonald is listed as a success. He is crap. Scored goals in the SPL? Big deal. And CL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
