JoeShmoe Posted 6 April, 2013 Share Posted 6 April, 2013 Want to put in a big word for Davis, a lot of the other guys get the headlines and rightly so but like JRod he's been superb under Tino, links play so well, puts in a real shift and when he ticks we are a much better team. Been a really good signing, a real players player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joesaint Posted 6 April, 2013 Share Posted 6 April, 2013 Great play today, and really should af scored as he did have a couple of nice chances. In fact a few of our players had some pretty big shots not on target! I though Cork was really really good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB Fry Posted 6 April, 2013 Share Posted 6 April, 2013 Should definitely have scored earlier, shame he didn't because he was brilliant today. Quickly becoming a key player alongside Cork/Morgan in the engine room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ottery st mary Posted 6 April, 2013 Share Posted 6 April, 2013 (edited) Top player and helps make the high pressing game work.. Albeit we had to adapt slightly today. Always liked Steve Davis..100% heart and soul; with a lot of energy and good ability.. Makes our team/squad stronger and top ten certs.

Miltonaggro Posted 6 April, 2013 Share Posted 6 April, 2013 Just shows how football is never clear cut, I thought he would flourish under Adkins, but it's Pochettino who is getting the best out of him. When we are looking in the summer I sincerely hope we can unearth some more 'bargain' diamonds like Davis and Boruc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IN MY DAY Posted 6 April, 2013 Share Posted 6 April, 2013 Here here, good shout. Been outstanding all season for me, thriving under MP. I think we are stronger when he starts, instead of coming when we are chasing a came. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Boy Saint Posted 6 April, 2013 Share Posted 6 April, 2013 Always been impressed, absolute steal at the generous £750k we gave Rangers. In fear of being slapped down the only analogy I can think of is: a cultured intelligent Richard Chaplow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc oli Posted 6 April, 2013 Share Posted 6 April, 2013 Brilliant today, simply brilliant. Don't think he put a foot wrong. Symbolises the energy we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheaf Saint Posted 6 April, 2013 Share Posted 6 April, 2013 Yep. He was a very close second for my MOTM today. Tremendous work rate and very intelligent with his runs from midfield to take defenders away from the other attacking players. Got into some good positions today and could (perhaps should) have scored from the one-on-one he had after being put through by Lambert in the second half.

S-Clarke Posted 6 April, 2013 Share Posted 6 April, 2013 Think he's class. Some of his touches are pure class and he never seems to give the ball away. With him and Morgan in the middle we're never short of legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dellman Posted 6 April, 2013 Share Posted 6 April, 2013 I never thought much of him first half of the season but something has brought the best out of him, suppose it must be MP that's what managers are paid do, well done NC for a daring appointment which I didn't approve but I do now!

Ewell Posted 6 April, 2013 Share Posted 6 April, 2013 Sometimes the transfer fee paid does not reflect the player you are. Some fans would do well to remember that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under Weststand Posted 6 April, 2013 Share Posted 6 April, 2013 Chalk this one up for me. I agree 100% under Pochettino he has been superb. The three in midfield complement each other so well it is a joy to watch at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 6 April, 2013 Share Posted 6 April, 2013 Has a good head and a calming influence about him. Keeps it simple and does it very well. Very tactically aware as well. Fills a few gaps in an inexperienced squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
um pahars Posted 6 April, 2013 Share Posted 6 April, 2013 Texted same thing to a mate earlier. Earlier in the season had him down as a bit of a Jim Magilton, but in recent games his pressing, energy and commitment have been a real positive.

melmacian_saint Posted 7 April, 2013 Share Posted 7 April, 2013 (edited) I'm impressed at how easily he finds simple passes within a split-second of touching the ball and how our tempo just gets a massive electricity boost every time he's on the pitch. He adds composure to our attacking game and has made a difference when it gets to finding solutions to our attack whenever our initial ideas don't work. QPR game is the example of his importance. Cork-Schneiderlin-Davis is a midfield which I think is good enough to take us up to the upper mid-table level we had in Strachan's finest hour of 02/03 (which is much more difficult to achieve nowadays). We payed more for one player of our midfield back then (Rory Delap - 4M) than for the 3 of them. I know the contempt we have for Mr.Reed, but...

niceandfriendly Posted 7 April, 2013 Share Posted 7 April, 2013 He has been good all season but especially so since Pochettino has come in. Great signing Mr Adkins/Mr Transfer Committee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeweahscousin Posted 7 April, 2013 Share Posted 7 April, 2013 I think he is a bit 'hit & miss', when he plays well he is very good, but he has had some shockers this season too. Another who looks better under MoPo..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirkThunder Posted 7 April, 2013 Share Posted 7 April, 2013 Davis must be on significant wages to come to Southampton so surely his transfer fee is a little bit irrelevant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faz Posted 7 April, 2013 Share Posted 7 April, 2013 Hmmm. Interesting....... I though the played well, but I seem to recall he gave the ball away at least as much as Gaston - but in more dangerous positions for us defensively. But I guess if you only cost £750k you can get away with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
