Thedelldays Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 Cost each club the same amount pretty much Hmmmm I wonder if we got the better deal
SaintAndy14 Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 Laughable when you think of the difference in ability/attitude between them! I really love the players in our team at the moment.
rshephard3 Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 I thought mcgoldrick was an absolute waste of a sub for Forest today. Looked thoroughly clueless.
S-Clarke Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 I thought mcgoldrick was an absolute waste of a sub for Forest today. Looked thoroughly clueless. Yep, that sub took the flow out of their game and allowed us back in it.
um pahars Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 Was absolute tosh today when he came on and brought back nightmares of his time in the limelight with us. Still can't believe that he was heralded as our next big thing back in those dark days. We mugged Forest off massively when we offloaded him (plus he's not a nice piece of work either!!!).
LGTL Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 McGoldrick changed the game today, utterly useless. I wasn't annoyed to see the back of Miller that's for sure.
Nexstar Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 It was laughable watching him try and score in the warm-up!
um pahars Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 McGoldrick changed the game today, utterly useless. I wasn't annoyed to see the back of Miller that's for sure. Indeed. Whereas our substitutions were positive in that they addressed our shortcomings, Forest's were terrible. In fact I'd say they actually played right in to our hands.
Leicestersaint Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 Lambert looks on fire at the moment.
TopGun Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 Rickie is a leader and talisman all the time. McG is lazy and disinterested a lot of the time. And that's just on the pitch!
Dr Who? Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 McGoldrick changed the game today, utterly useless. I wasn't annoyed to see the back of Miller that's for sure. That was a sub for the sake of using a sub, by a manager who had to make it look like he was looking for a winner......
Kingsland Red Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 Shame he didn't get that penalty, then we could have admired his casual run up and side foot wide, ah - happy memories !!!
SW5 SAINT Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 I wonder if Huddersfield regret their decision not to buy Lambert as they would never get their investment back?
whizzpop Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 that £1m however kept us ticking over though didnt it
revolution saint Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 How gutted must Huddersfield be, refusing to buy Ricky because he was too old. Ricky is one of the few much hyped players to justify it and his partnership with Connolly is a joy to watch.
beatlesaint Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 If I was a Forest fan I would have been livid to see Miller taken off for that useless Billy Big Balls. Fortunately I am not so was delighted to see him come on and do exactly as i predicted, ie - **** all ! Well done Steve, great substitution !

In fairness on the radio they said miller had picked up a injury
beatlesaint Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 In fairness on the radio they said miller had picked up a injury Oh right, I only heard whispering Dave on the way home questioning the changes McClaren made.
Jesus Reigned Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 To be fair to DMG I he scored his fair share of goals in a sh!t team, and playing up front on his own most of the time. Plus he did provide one of the very few high points of that season with his last minute winner at Preston. But yes, ineffective is the most polite word I can think of to summarise his efforts today.

Plus he did provide one of the very few high points of that season with his last minute winner at Preston. But yes, ineffective is the most polite word I can think of to summarise his efforts today. He did score goals, but I reckon someone like Lambo would have got 20 odd in that team. We were nieve and inexperienced, but we did create a lot of chances and a clinical, consistent finisher was probably the difference from a mid-table finish that season. But due to our ''log jam'' of strikers, we sold them all.
Saint Garrett Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 Why did people boo him? I have no problem with him, he didn't leave in bad spirit, had to be sold to keep us ticking over!
doddisalegend Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 Just goes to show how far we've come DMG never looked liked he could care less when he played for us. Look at the way Lambert celebrated today he loves it here. It feels like we have players who give a f uck these days.
S-Clarke Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 Why did people boo him? I have no problem with him, he didn't leave in bad spirit, had to be sold to keep us ticking over! Yeah, didn't agree with the booing myself - but that's what most do when an ex-player comes on, for some reason. He did say some silly stuff to the press soon after he left though IIRC, along the lines of ''As soon as we were relegated and I asked my agent to push a move through to forest for me''
doddisalegend Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 Why did people boo him? I have no problem with him, he didn't leave in bad spirit, had to be sold to keep us ticking over! I didn't - I thought I'm so glad McGoldmiss is on we're going to win this now..............
Big_Bald_Si Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 Why did people boo him? I have no problem with him, he didn't leave in bad spirit, had to be sold to keep us ticking over! Don't boo many returning players, but I boo'd McGoldrick. Very much has the big "I am" attitude for me. He's the footballing equivalent of Audley Harrison.
Minsk Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 Indeed. Whereas our substitutions were positive in that they addressed our shortcomings, Forest's were terrible. In fact I'd say they actually played right in to our hands. No, no, no, you must be wrong. Adkins is rubbish and will be outdone tactically by more experienced managers such as McClaren; St Lard told us so!!! (He also said Lambert wasn't good enough for this division, but I won't mention that.)
um pahars Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 To be fair to DMG I he scored his fair share of goals in a sh!t team, and playing up front on his own most of the time. He only just got in to double figures (and dont get me on to his penalty taking styleeeee). Sh1te and a sh1te attitude as well.
um pahars Posted 10 September, 2011 Posted 10 September, 2011 that £1m however kept us ticking over though didnt it Did it?? Liebherr was already sorting stuff out when he thought he was too good for us. I think the slae went through a couple of days after.
SaintBobby Posted 11 September, 2011 Posted 11 September, 2011 Miller was excellent, I thought. A permament threat and the most likely match winner. I was stunned when he was subbed and put it down to McLaren being clueless until I noticed Miller was actually hobbling towards the bench. I still feared it was set up for McGoldrick to win the game, but he was just appalling.
SuperMikey Posted 11 September, 2011 Posted 11 September, 2011 My prediction that Miller would cause us problems was pooh-pooed on here by some, i'm sat here smug in my Nostradamus-like aura now. Think we should've signed him tbh, missed out on that one. And McGoldrick is pants, was amazed when we got £1m for him! With our awful financial state at that time, i'm surprised we managed to get that much.

With our awful financial state at that time, i'm surprised we managed to get that much. TBF he cuased problems against a makeshift back four, against our normal (settled) back four I doubt he'd of done so well. Though still better than Mcgoldmiss.
Chez Posted 11 September, 2011 Posted 11 September, 2011 We should all say a big thank you to David Pleat for wasting £1.25m of their money on McGoaldrought allowing us to by Rickie. He scouted him and he recommended him when there was Surman and Lallana to buy instead.
david in sweden Posted 11 September, 2011 Posted 11 September, 2011 Cost each club the same amount pretty much Hmmmm I wonder if we got the better deal NO CONTEST Dell Days, like Beattie who cost £1 mill.... and Delgado over £3 million... Historically, (at Saints) ... big fees guarantee NOTHING, and usually what we get.

Ricky is one of the few much hyped players to justify it and his partnership with Connolly is a joy to watch. Agreed ! .... not bad for two players who some people have already put in the " veteran " class !
Ashley Grute Posted 11 September, 2011 Posted 11 September, 2011 Still can't believe we offloaded McGoldrick for a mill and a month later replaced him with Lambert for the same money- one of the best bits of business this club has ever done!
Crazy Diamond Posted 11 September, 2011 Posted 11 September, 2011 Before he starts, **** off MLG you utter mong. I stick by what I said a while ago. McGoldrick is one of the worst players I have ever seen. No composure when one-on-one, shooting ability of an amputee, all the footballing brain of a wet cabbage. The way he used to **** himself when there was a defender within a mile of him also speaks volumes.
Danny R Posted 11 September, 2011 Posted 11 September, 2011 I would like both in the squad to be honest. I don't understand why people called DMG lazy and disinterested, it was his first full season and he played every game. Also, I'm sure it was only him at Kelvin deferred their wages at the end of the season.
Appy Posted 11 September, 2011 Posted 11 September, 2011 I also can't believe it took forest that long to bring on Mcgugan.
aintforever Posted 11 September, 2011 Posted 11 September, 2011 Apparently the Forest fans hate him, call him Mcgoaldrought.
Saint Garrett Posted 11 September, 2011 Posted 11 September, 2011 I also can't believe it took forest that long to bring on Mcgugan. I was very surprised to see him on the bench! He's one of their best players IMO.
um pahars Posted 11 September, 2011 Posted 11 September, 2011 Don't be fair to DMG, it's misplaced. He played about 50 games that season, own main striker. We created quite a lot, he was the penalty taker, but still didn't score many. More than that he didn't put the effort in while we struggled and acted like a spoilt child most the time. One infuriating game he was asked to play wide right, there was so much space out there, but he just wouldn't, sulking and not bothering. The manager was screaming at him as the space could have been exploited countless times, but he just waved his arms around, shouted and strolled around the centre, not once breaking into a sweat or tracking anyone back. Yesterday again he still had the petulant sulky strolling style. Fcking dreadful player and pro. You're spot on with your assessment. I watched a lot of the Youth Team games around that time and always thought that McGoldrick used to bully his way through games against his peers (and fair enough, you play to your strengths) and would struggle when he stepped up. His poor attitude (really arrogant, Billy big balls, I know best etc) meant that he was poorly equipped when his technique was found wanting.
Crazy Diamond Posted 11 September, 2011 Posted 11 September, 2011 Apparently the Forest fans hate him, call him Mcgoaldrought. Love it.
Appy Posted 11 September, 2011 Posted 11 September, 2011 McGugan was dropped for yesterday's game apparently. What a shame.
