kpturner Posted 27 January, 2014 Author Share Posted 27 January, 2014 lol that helped thanks, a bit more informative than normal as well. I did not mean in the Tyro league but..... Born 10th January 1961 - debut against Man City in January 1980 - so 12-ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why not, he looked really handy in the SP highlights, could have had 3 or 4 goals, it was Yeovil though. He looks quick, he moves about well and he looks to have good control of the ball. Just what you need to unsettle the Arse. Don't doubt we'll have staid old Lambert instead though because perhaps Woy will be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david in sweden Posted 27 January, 2014 Share Posted 27 January, 2014 How old was Steve Moran on debut ? ........a bit older than some people think, perhaps Steve was an associate schoolboy player in 1975 at age 14, (most people have heard the legendary Mc Menemy football boots story) and turned pro at 18 (1979) and debuted in Jan.1980 ....aged 19 when he scored as an oncoming sub. His career really took off during the next season, not unexpectedly when you consider he was playing along side Kevin Keegan and Mick Channon and he netted 58 goals in 117 games in first 4 seasons...a really excellent +/- 50% strike rate. Competetion was tough when Saints signed Joe Jordan and David Armstrong, and sadly Steve lost favour after Lawrie Mac's departure when Saints became cash-strapped and he was sold to Leicester. He deserved more credit and space in the record books where he (agonisingly) stood on ....99 goals for the club.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pancake Posted 27 January, 2014 Share Posted 27 January, 2014 Who takes penalties if Lambert is out? Surprised Guly took one, does that mean Lallana and JRod aren't confident? Jay takes them but Guly badgered him to let him take it. Kelvin mentioned it in the post match interviews. Team spirit, innit as Guly hadn't scored in 2 years.

Saint Mikey Posted 27 January, 2014 Share Posted 27 January, 2014 Who takes penalties if Lambert is out? Surprised Guly took one, does that mean Lallana and JRod aren't confident? I wouldn't want Lallana taking penalties, his finishing is far from the best attribute of his game. If he was fit, I'd have Lovren taking the pens.

If he was fit, I'd have Lovren taking the pens. JRod is the normal penalty taker after Rickie, then Steve Davis I think, but if we get one when we're 2 or more up with 5 minutes left we need to hand it to Luke or Jack Cork.

S-Clarke Posted 27 January, 2014 Share Posted 27 January, 2014 On Sam Gallagher… “No, no fear at all (of starting him in the Premier League). Nothing’s changed. Sam’s position is still the same.

If it doesn't work out so be it, he's only 18 and he will at least learn something from the experience to take forwards. Plus it would allow us to keep Rodriguez cutting in from wide where he is most effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 27 January, 2014 Share Posted 27 January, 2014 I have no worries about starting Sam either. I've seen him a couple of times now and he looks pretty classy for a big man, with a good touch (cliche city..!). The bonus is that not many will know about him, so he could surprise a few defences this year. By looking at him, you wouldn't assume he's as quick and skillfull as he actually is.

derry Posted 29 January, 2014 Share Posted 29 January, 2014 A very good first start. Looks like a natural leader of the attack. Took Koscelny out of the road for Lallana to have a free shot for our equaliser. Comfortable on the ball, robust and a good shot. Well played Sam. I'm looking forward to more appearances.

Saint Charlie Posted 29 January, 2014 Share Posted 29 January, 2014 Very promising. Probably more suited to an impact sub role for now but so many good attributes for the coaches to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ottery st mary Posted 29 January, 2014 Share Posted 29 January, 2014 Lots of good movement off the ball....ie the goal ..allowing Lallana to run into the space . Worked the back four all night. Good speed/strength Not overawed at all. Belongs in the team/squad. MP will use wisely etc. A real talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restark19 Posted 29 January, 2014 Share Posted 29 January, 2014 Couldn't have asked for a better debut from him imo, unlucky not to put away a difficult chance in difficult positions, looking forward to seeing more of him. The one important thing he has in common with Shaw, JWP and Chambers is (as ottery said) he wasn't overawed one bit. All 4 have seemed every bit ready to play massive games at an incredibly young age. Kudos to the youth setup and the players themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted 30 January, 2014 Share Posted 30 January, 2014 Lallana was nothing special until he was in his 20s his health issue must have knocked him back a bit to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeShmoe Posted 30 January, 2014 Share Posted 30 January, 2014 MP saying he's basically in his plans now and will play this season, personally think that's good, give him a run of games and see how he develops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
