tpbury Posted 6 November, 2014 Posted 6 November, 2014 Nicking Billy****e's term, but I think it is time to evaluate and celebrate Norn Iron's captain, though I am sure it has been done a lot before - why not again? Industry. Cleverness. Speed. Throughballs. Crossing. Utter bastard midfielder. (we'll work on the goals). Love him!!! http://metro.co.uk/2014/04/30/steven-davis-the-grey-man-and-how-he-is-vital-to-southampton-4713511/
Beckenham Saint Posted 6 November, 2014 Posted 6 November, 2014 Can't believe he's already made 83 apps for us! I don't remember him having a bad game in that time, is amazing for the team, and I am always surprised by how good his skills are (Shouldn't be surprised after 80+ games, but every time he pulls off a little flick or neat turn or something I find myself thinking "Oh, I forgot he could do that!". Love having him in the team. 6 goals for us so far according to Wiki, I thought he'd gotten more than that. Think it was City away and then home, a couple at Barnsley, one at home to Hull - who was the other one against?
tpbury Posted 6 November, 2014 Author Posted 6 November, 2014 I guess he's Davis' agent. But I only linked something from Saints Australian Supporters!
Patrick Bateman Posted 6 November, 2014 Posted 6 November, 2014 Isn't that a rehash of exactly the same article that appeared in the Evening Standard last week by someone else??
hypochondriac Posted 6 November, 2014 Posted 6 November, 2014 I love that he is described as the man who doesn't get the credit he deserves every single week!
Bobbyboy Posted 6 November, 2014 Posted 6 November, 2014 I still don't quite get why he doesn't score goals this season. Did it ok last year, but every time he's through there's a sort of 'oh it's him' moment now. Does everything else very well, very quietly. Presume the above article is agent talk as January is coming. Davis never seems to be linked to anyone. Let's keep him under the radar...

Love him!!! http://metro.co.uk/2014/04/30/steven-davis-the-grey-man-and-how-he-is-vital-to-southampton-4713511/ That article was written last season. Davis is actually much better this season, and really is the driving force behind much of what we do now. His workrate and energy are phenomenal and his eye for a pass. If only he could be more ruthless with his chances.
tpbury Posted 6 November, 2014 Author Posted 6 November, 2014 Great link then, thumbs up to the original post. Fair dos. You know we get internet by steamer over here? Fact is, it is still relevant, no-one raves about him now, 7 months later. He is a monster and is trying his finishing boots on (ie vs Hull) . They will soon fit!

Turkish Posted 6 November, 2014 Posted 6 November, 2014 The sort of player most fans under rate but his team mates love playing with. Just wish he could shoot!
Saint Garrett Posted 6 November, 2014 Posted 6 November, 2014 If he has a bad game then we generally lose. Agree he is a key cog in our side, and has some great movement, also sits in extremely well when the full backs bomb on. Great signing
Professor Posted 6 November, 2014 Posted 6 November, 2014 I appreciate Steven Davis very much but I hope he's not worrying that he needs to score more goals himself as that could affect his contribution to team effort. I hope he's had a talking to this week after the last minute of the Hull game when he could have set up Jack Cork for a better scoring chance but instead of a simple pass, he blasted over from further out. I doubt that Tadic would have done that. Its goals that count, not who scores them.
Golden Balls Posted 6 November, 2014 Posted 6 November, 2014 Always called underrated which obviously makes him 'rated' I think he's one of our best players. Rave about him to the bloke who sits next to me every game.
Bearsy Posted 6 November, 2014 Posted 6 November, 2014 the underrated player who everyone rates! Still prob #1 in the most likely to be left out of predicted line-ups stakes tho, and in my cold, dark heart i still think he's prob the most easy first XI player to upgrade. I hope he's had a talking to this week after the last minute of the Hull game when he could have set up Jack Cork for a better scoring chance but instead of a simple pass, he blasted over from further out. nah that was smart move, thunder it into crowd + game over. Remember ye well, crouch vs everton!
Saint Pete Posted 6 November, 2014 Posted 6 November, 2014 The sort of player most fans under rate but his team mates love playing with. Just wish he could shoot! Definitely due a goal the number of times he's gone close this season! Maybe Saturday's his day?
John Boy Saint Posted 7 November, 2014 Posted 7 November, 2014 Excellent player and a real worker, without him the "star" players, everyone gets excited about, just would not shine so brightly in the team. Said it a million times, Lawrie Mac's blueprint for a good team was to make it up from Violinists and Roadsweepers. You could eat your dinner off the street Steven Davis keeps clean.
Saint_clark Posted 7 November, 2014 Posted 7 November, 2014 The sort of player most fans under rate but his team mates love playing with. Just wish he could shoot! He's come close from range a few times this season including hitting the bar against west ham i think. Just hasn't quite clicked for him. He should end the season on 5 or more goals with the goalscoring exploits of this team.
happy clapper Posted 7 November, 2014 Posted 7 November, 2014 I appreciate Steven Davis very much but I hope he's not worrying that he needs to score more goals himself as that could affect his contribution to team effort. I hope he's had a talking to this week after the last minute of the Hull game when he could have set up Jack Cork for a better scoring chance but instead of a simple pass, he blasted over from further out. I doubt that Tadic would have done that. Its goals that count, not who scores them. Isn't it great, how we all now consider Jack Cork to be a goal scoring midfielder!
Golden Balls Posted 7 November, 2014 Posted 7 November, 2014 If his name was more exotic...something like Christiano Pirlo, he'd be the subject of £25m bids.
