Just saw it on Twitter!! haven't lol'd like that for some time. Can't believe it. Surely someone from the championship would've taken a punt on him?

Saint_clark Posted 15 September, 2011 Share Posted 15 September, 2011 I got that one wrong then. After he left I said he will become a top Championship striker and told people on here to mark my words. Oops. Still plenty of time left. He does has some talent - it takes talent to score 50 goals in a season, even if it is only at reserve level - I just think the situation he's been in at both clubs is all wrong for him.

SuperMikey Posted 16 September, 2011 Share Posted 16 September, 2011 Odds on him banging in a few goals at Wednesday and Forest capitalising on it by selling him to another Championship club who don't actually know much about him? 4/6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Diamond Posted 16 September, 2011 Share Posted 16 September, 2011 Good for him. Another Club that is gullible to believe he's a professional footballer. That takes the total up to six. He's a good con artist isn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a1ex2001 Posted 16 September, 2011 Share Posted 16 September, 2011 I'm not his biggest fan and was always annoyed by his appearence of running through mud (lots of effort but no speed) but he clearly wasn't and isn't as bad as many of you are making out he scored plenty of goals in our relegation season playing for a terrible side in his first season as a first team regular. Yes he maybe a bit of an idiot but lets be realistic at least. He'll struggle at Wednesday though, Megson has no idea what he's doing there and I think even Messi might fail to make an impact!

dubai_phil Posted 16 September, 2011 Share Posted 16 September, 2011 I don't get the hate for him, to be honest. Managed double figures in the worst Saints team in living memory. Something I noticed watching QPR's strikers this week and watching bits of highlights with Rickie's goals. Think McGoaldroughts' problem is not one of skill but simply that he isn't a very "intelligent" footballer. Rickie (and DC for that matter) seems to be so much "smarter" on the pitch and if you compare the two players DMG in his lifestyle approach just doesn't seem too sharp a cookie. Watching the QPR strikers - (in a very simplistic manner in a bar without any commentary) all pace and power and coached to perfection but simply not that "spark". Simply think that is DMG's problem, he has the ability, can score goals but just doesn't seem to "get it" (life & football that is). Similar "football intelligence" jibes were made about Theo in his early Arsenil days whereas Oxo was deemed to have a good footballing brain (but a dopey Dad), So maybe the "hate" is more disappointment. DMG should have been much more, he had the ability, but just comes across as being "footballing & life-wise" - thick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Diamond Posted 16 September, 2011 Share Posted 16 September, 2011 He can't cleanly strike a football. Never seen someone so incapable of it at such a high level of the game. Exactly. I'm going to remember him for the player he was with us. A striker who found it difficult and made it look difficult to score goals. He may have got double figures that season, but I am struggling to remember another striker I have seen who missed as much when one on one, had such poor technique, looked as if they couldn't be bothered and generally found it difficult to control, run with and use a ball. I feel sorry for Sheffield Wednesday, arguably one of the worst results in their history (losing 5 - 1 to Stevenage, who they probably never even dreamt they would ever play) and their solution is to bring in McGoldrick. They deserve a lot better. I'd also like to know if we can have our money back from Notts County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_Jonny Posted 16 September, 2011 Share Posted 16 September, 2011 Anyone remember his goal in a 1-0 home win VS Palace? One of the best goals I've seen at SMS.

Crazy Diamond Posted 16 September, 2011 Share Posted 16 September, 2011 Not even BWP??? You know what? I did actually think of his name. My first ever away game, he was one-on-one and blew it spectacularly. I've never forgiven him for it, though if I remember rightly he made up for it later. He's not doing too badly at Charlton either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Give it to Ron Posted 16 September, 2011 Share Posted 16 September, 2011 He made it worse I think after missing one away at Coventry when he said he would never miss another one! Funny thing is I was even calling us to re-sign him last season as cover...his division is league one really. I always knew McG would get slated and posted as much from the reports I used to write on the old site from youth and ressie games. You could see his lazy gait would not go well with Saints fans that need to see that players try. He had skill but just didn't have that turn of pace to get him away from defenders.

Lord Duckhunter Posted 16 September, 2011 Share Posted 16 September, 2011 "The Emperor's New Clothes", best sums up him and most of the players in the set up that impressed Chris Iwelumo. To think there were some people who believed that people like him, Olly Lancashire, Lloyd James, Gillet, paterson ect proved that we were on the right track and the whole football world was watching us. Where are they all now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you make of him back then Ron??? I watched him quite a bit back then as work was quite flexible and always thought he bullied his way through games and would be found wanting when he started to mix it with the "pros". I was also unsure about his appetite/desire along with his general demeanour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan The Flames Posted 17 September, 2011 Share Posted 17 September, 2011 As I've said before I worked with someone who knew him and he said he would be out all hours the night before a game. So maybe going back to his home town hasn't helped him develop a professional mindset, you would hope this was a wake up call for the fella.
