Minsk Posted 17 February, 2011 Share Posted 17 February, 2011 ... to Stockport for a month. Good luck to the lad. I hope he bags his first few league goals. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2295961,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 17 February, 2011 Share Posted 17 February, 2011 If Pulis can get a goal there, Doble will get a few. Lets hope he comes back after his time there, invigorated by Saints being Any Good in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddisalegend Posted 17 February, 2011 Share Posted 17 February, 2011 Wow kind of tough place to go out on loan at the moment not exactly going to fill him with the winning mentality. Still good luck to him hope he gets lots of first team action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 17 February, 2011 Share Posted 17 February, 2011 Interesting to see that they've got Matt Paterson in on loan as well, his Southend career clearly isn't going well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latter day saint Posted 17 February, 2011 Share Posted 17 February, 2011 Interesting to see that they've got Matt Paterson in on loan as well, his Southend career clearly isn't going well... reading this, it sounds like he may be out of there http://www.newsnow.co.uk/A/476545098?-11205 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsarum Posted 17 February, 2011 Share Posted 17 February, 2011 met Tommy Widderington at a London Saints do in October He's assistant manager at Southend he didn't rate Patterson at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Fan CaM Posted 17 February, 2011 Share Posted 17 February, 2011 Good luck to the lad. Don't think he's got enough to force his way into the 1st team at Saints, so a spell away is the best option for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 17 February, 2011 Share Posted 17 February, 2011 I always thought Paterson looked out of his depth for Saints, the only time I've seen him put in a decent performance was up at Farnborough pre-season (2008?) when he showed the kind of finishing he didn't have for Saints - though you could see he was always giving his best. Actually thought Southend in League Two would suit him, but clearly Sturrock didn't agree. Stockport may be his level - hopefully Doble being a mate of his (and a better player IMHO) they'll both get a few goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocco boxo Posted 17 February, 2011 Share Posted 17 February, 2011 Just 14 years ago 3rd Div Stockport were knocking premiership Southampton out of the Carling Cup quarters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntingdon Posted 17 February, 2011 Share Posted 17 February, 2011 Paterson scored Saints first goal in the Liebherr/Cortese reign It's seems a long time ago now I think he's a confidence player. He's never going to be world class, but if he's playing in a team regularly and feels wanted, he may surprise some people. Stockport might be the perfect club for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lets B Avenue Posted 17 February, 2011 Share Posted 17 February, 2011 met Tommy Widderington at a London Saints do in October He's assistant manager at Southend he didn't rate Patterson at all Dont think he's there anymore. There was a move by someone or other at Eastleigh, to get him in place of Ian Baird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ribbo Posted 18 February, 2011 Share Posted 18 February, 2011 Interesting to see that they've got Matt Paterson in on loan as well, his Southend career clearly isn't going well... it was going quite well until Sturrock arrived, froze the lad out and bought in his son Blair to play upfront.

doddisalegend Posted 18 February, 2011 Share Posted 18 February, 2011 it was going quite well until Sturrock arrived, froze the lad out and bought in his son Blair to play upfront. yep that was the impression I got, just getting himself in the first team when Sturrock took over.

SouthlondonSaint Posted 18 February, 2011 Share Posted 18 February, 2011 Absolutely spot on guys. I work with loads of Southend and Charlton fans, they all rate him! One minute the lad is number one striker about to start the season, next he's dropped to the bench and Mr Sturrock brings in son Master Sturrock and Paterson doesn't get a look in. The Shrimpers fans think he's been shafted, firstly to come to Southend in the first place (Pardew gave him an ultimatium re Barnard) and secondly he has scored something like 4 or 5 goals in six or seven games whilst 'son' has got 4/5 in about twenty five games! The lad is liked, just had a real hard time, I remember his goal away to Ipswich - quality. Best of luck to him, hope he gets a few more at Stockport and his career takes off.

david in sweden Posted 18 February, 2011 Share Posted 18 February, 2011 (edited) If Pulis can get a goal there, Doble will get a few. Lets hope he comes back after his time there, invigorated by Saints being Any Good in comparison. STOCKPORT !........what was the line in that song .." if you can make it there, you'll make it anywhere ..." This exactly what our Academy lads need. Nice job Doddsy - was it 14 wins in a row ..or more ? but if they are that good at Academy level - get them out playing some real football - even if it is Conference sides. A lot of Conference sides have youngsters in their line-up and it's a good test at a higher level. Get some first / second year scholars in at U18/ U21 level and let them have a few games, it will help to improve everyone. Who cares if the U18s lose a few games without them, we already know it's a good squad and if the better lads are getting some experience they'll progress quicker. They may not all be in the Walcott / Bale / AOC class, but it'll give us extra options if they do well out on loan. Older fans will recall that even legends like Channon, Shearer and MLT took 1-2 seasons to get a regular place on the bench. They had to learn and these loanees will too.
