ladysaint Posted 28 August, 2008 Share Posted 28 August, 2008 Flybe's player of the month details on the OS. Very difficult to know who to vote for as IMO not much to choose between Gillett, Lallana and Spiderman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saints_is_the_south Posted 28 August, 2008 Share Posted 28 August, 2008 The way i understand it is that they are asking us to email our nominations & not our player of the month. Then flybe will choose from our nominations in which case my 3 would be... David McGoldrick - 3 goals in 5 games & still Blackpool to go Adam Lallana - 2 goals in 5 & has generally been the pinnacle of everything we have done so well Simon Gillett - Been excellent, completely bossed the midfield at times against players like Robbie Savage & Lee Carsley who i didn't even realise was playing on Tuesday night! Other nominees would be Holmes & Killer but i've tried to keep it down to just the 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South City Si Posted 28 August, 2008 Share Posted 28 August, 2008 Gillet for me. Been patient in the reserves fo ages, come out and taken his chance. NMot a goal scorer but works for everything and seems to be involved in all the decent movements in onme way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

up and away Posted 28 August, 2008 Share Posted 28 August, 2008 Gillet for me. Been patient in the reserves fo ages, come out and taken his chance. NMot a goal scorer but works for everything and seems to be involved in all the decent movements in onme way or another. Could not agree more. Like a Jack Russel ratting, what a terrier. Without someone like Gillet none of what we have seen would work. So chuffed for the lad, who we could so easily have lost. We have a lot of players that have stepped up and made their mark, but to me Gillet epitomises what this team is all about. Before the West Ham game I was concerned that these young players could handle the physical side, but the continual bleating from their players about the likes of Lloyd JAmes and Gillets tackles soon put that to the back of the mind.

Saint Mikey Posted 28 August, 2008 Share Posted 28 August, 2008 Now that they're playing so well, it worries me that players like Gillet, McGoldrick and Lallana only have this season left on their contract. I understand we are trying to agree a deal with Lallana, but what of the other two? Both Gillet and McGoldrick have been farmed out on loan and been left in the ressies for a long time. If (as it seems) they've seized their chance now after being overlooked for so long, no-one can blame them for finding a better club and more money (ala Baird). I say if they're still maintaining this level of performance after 10 games, sign 'em up before someone else gets in there! Sorry to put a slightly negative angle on this otherwise positive thread. However, it is relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintjay77 Posted 28 August, 2008 Share Posted 28 August, 2008 I put my vote on lallana just for the fact he popped up with a few goals. McGoldrick I know has got some but the ratio to goals vs chances lallana has done better. I also put in a mention to Spiderpig, Holmes, White, Killer and Gillet and in fact to the whole squad who IMO have done exceptionally well so far. I know there are a few that seem to be there to pick up there wage packets but even they are doing a job to make the youngens prove they deserve to be there ahead of seasoned proffesionals. Well done to all of them so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitySaint Posted 28 August, 2008 Share Posted 28 August, 2008 Got to be Simon Gillet, he is exactly what we have needed for a long while. Why on earth did he not play last year? I can't speak highly enough of this player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INFLUENCED.COM Posted 28 August, 2008 Share Posted 28 August, 2008 Gillet for me, has been up against seasoned premiership pro's and made them look very average, especially Carsley in the cup.(Svensson gets the sentimental vote) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revolution saint Posted 28 August, 2008 Share Posted 28 August, 2008 Well I'd go for someone who's played the majority of games which rules a few out. I'd probably pick Lallana over McGoldrick purely because he's come in and fitted in straight away. There's still a bit of a question mark over where he (McGoldrick) plays - up front or on the right? Let's face it they've all done well though and in past months Schneiderlin, Svensson, Gillet, Holmes, McGoldrick and a few others would have won it hands down on their performance over the last few games.

SNSUN Posted 28 August, 2008 Share Posted 28 August, 2008 That's a toughie. So many have done so well. Holmes has proved he's not just come here because he couldn't make the grade at Derby; Gillett has proved height, or lack thereof, doesn't make a bad footballer; McG had proved that, despite seasoned pros like Rasiak, Saga, BWP and John on the books, he can score goals and take his chance when presented it; Killer has proved Lazarus was no fluke; Lallana has proved there is life after Le Tiss, Schneiderlin has proved good players DO want to play for Southampton; Perry has proved age is no barrier for experience, James has proved etc etc etc To narrow it down to 3 would be tough. Killer, Gillett and McG? Who knows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Martini Posted 28 August, 2008 Share Posted 28 August, 2008 Gillet - our Paul Scholes or Macgoldrick - mind you it's a difficult one for sure.

St Landrew Posted 28 August, 2008 Share Posted 28 August, 2008 That's a toughie. If it were for sheer bloody mindedness and determination, it would be Michael Svensson hands down. He's played bloody well too. Even though McGoldrick has scored 3 from 5, he's missed quite a few too, so I can't include him, although, like everyone in the side, he has done well. Gillet and Schneiderlin have been excellent. Can't quite believe Schneiderlin is only 18, Gillet has been trademark tigerish. Lallana has been a bit of a revelation. I think we've all seen the little cameo on Youtube now, and it only serves to wet the appetite. His quick feet and change of pace and movement on the ball are reminicent of a young Matt Le Tiss. and in all honesty, is there higher praise I can give the lad..? In a season or two, he'll be doing it in the Premiership, that's for certain, and hopefully [and why not..?] with Saints. Then I'd love to see him make a few highly rated defenders look foolish, in the MLT tradition. Just lay off the burgers lad and you'll have the career Matty didn't. Adam Lallana for me. Lee Holmes would be a dark horse though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintsforlife7 Posted 28 August, 2008 Share Posted 28 August, 2008 Lallana over Svensson and Gillett. His football brain is just sublime and his feet are working at the same time, touch of class we have been missing since MLT, and looks one of our best prospects for the future, aslong as we can hold onto him of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toadhall Saint Posted 28 August, 2008 Share Posted 28 August, 2008 ok I'll concede he is not the best but there is something about gillet that reminds me of scholes - tenacious in the tackle and uses the ball well and has a good engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexus Saint Posted 28 August, 2008 Share Posted 28 August, 2008 Not sure I agree with other posters about Scholes. As great a player as undoubtedly he's is, he certainly isn't a good tackler. Its the worst part of his game. Player of the month so far is definitely Gillett. Has been superb in that terrier midfiled role. Reminiscent of Marsden. I don't want it taken in a negative way as I think they are potentially very good but Lallana and McG are not as prolific in scoring goals/assists as Gillett is in his duties as a passer and tackler in midefield. Tough choice tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gis Posted 28 August, 2008 Share Posted 28 August, 2008 So many have done really well, but for me it's McGoldrick. If only because he's running and chasing down all game now, which I never saw him do playing for the U18s where he would just laze around all match, let Lallana do all the work, and then pop up to score a goal or two. I'm amazed at the change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Martini Posted 29 August, 2008 Share Posted 29 August, 2008 Holmes has been awsome for me. Indeed, although I must say that I only saw highlight Holmes has made a very good impression on me. He always stays wide and creates space for Llalana and DMG to work in and he'll take on his direct opponent as soon as he gets the chance. How the hell Derby let him go is beyond me but he should be in line for Player of the Month. Maybe even more then DMG and Llalana since he has scored two and wasted a lot less chances.

washsaint Posted 29 August, 2008 Share Posted 29 August, 2008 Gillett - he's showing what crap managers we have had. How he was ignored by Redcrap and Burley is beyond me (Pearson did bring him back into the fold). Not only has he been tenacious but he has more than a little bit of skill as well. Plus he lovees the club which was why he didn't leave when he had the chance to. Top lad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

true-saint-keit Posted 29 August, 2008 Share Posted 29 August, 2008 I think we can all agree it makes a refreshing change to have a whole host of players worthy of the player of the month award, rather than just having to pick a player who's been not quite as Sh*t as the others. I hope that come May there will be thread & a debate like this for player of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch01 Posted 29 August, 2008 Share Posted 29 August, 2008 I thought Holmes was pants at home to Brum in the league, but admittedly this is the only game I have seen live and it would be unfair to judge him on that. Gillett was the best player in that game for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
