Edmonton Saint Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 Just looks out of his depth every time he plays. Contract up in the summer and was baffled the club chose to renew it last time. Surely he's getting released soon which makes the decision to start him so much more baffling.
Saints foreva Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 He's about Pompey's level. Bin him off.
Mr Saints Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 Wouldn't be surprised if he departs in the next few days. Needs to for the sake of his career.
Saint Fen Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 He does need to leave. I'm not too sure on Reed either. He at least needs to go away and get some game time on loan.
stknowle Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 Cannot remember him doing anything that remotely made me think he was going to be a good player.
Colinjb Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 A shame, 5 years ago he looked a real prospect. On that basis, it is a wonder why he is still here.
Lighthouse Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 He must have pictures of Les in a compromising position or something. How an academy player can stick around until he's 24, without making any impact, is beyond me.
Red Alert Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 Should go for his own sake. Get some games under his belt this season somewhere on a short term deal and find something in the summer.
beatlesaint Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 Sorry to say but I hope I never have to see him in a Saints shirt again. He was great at Barnsley last season and that's about right for him, he's never impressed me in the slightest.
ART Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 For a long time I believed in Lloyd, but his abilities have been stunted since he returned from Barnsley. Time for him to move on. He will never achieve more than playing for Saints Reserves.. Like others I fail to see why he's still here. There must be some unseen reason.
Give it to Ron Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 For a long time I believed in Lloyd, but his abilities have been stunted since he returned from Barnsley. Time for him to move on. He will never achieve more than playing for Saints Reserves.. Like others I fail to see why he's still here. There must be some unseen reason. It's another of the baffling decisions like giving Gazza a 4 year extended deal!!! I used to rate Reed but this season he just looks poor. Tonight he was just bullied and bypassed so easily. Time to go on loan or leave for both. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 Thought I read somewhere Bristol City were interested in Lloyd. Maybe time for him to try at Championship level to see if he can cut it there?
a1ex2001 Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 Seems harsh to single him out, puel picked him out of the blue in a team that lacked any sort of consistency or experience the buck stops with one man for selling Lloyd and all the others short tonight. Lloyd is clearly destined to move on in the next couple of days which makes the decision to start him even more baffling. FFS.
rooney Posted 29 January, 2017 Posted 29 January, 2017 Not Premier League standard I am afraid, so needs to move on and enjoy a career in the lower leagues like many other of our ex-academy players are doing.
gary3009 Posted 29 January, 2017 Posted 29 January, 2017 I think he could be a special player for a league 1 side but he will never be good enough for us sadly. As for Reed, i think he could play a bit further up,like as a alternative to Classe, but not in the Defensive Mid position. Hes too small and light and yesterdays game really made that clear for all to see.
Convict Colony Posted 29 January, 2017 Posted 29 January, 2017 Hadn't be played well at Peterborough and Barnsley, seems about L1/Lower Champ player to me
Give it to Ron Posted 29 January, 2017 Posted 29 January, 2017 (edited) Ipswich want Lloyd Isgrove at Southampton. Played last night but probably available. Source :Nixon who is decent Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited 29 January, 2017 by Give it to Ron
FriendlySaint Posted 29 January, 2017 Posted 29 January, 2017 A shame, 5 years ago he looked a real prospect. On that basis, it is a wonder why he is still here. The only thing I'll say is if he looked a prospect 5 years ago then what's happened? Why hasn't he developed like he was supposed to and like the club expected? Does he not train properly? Is he in it for a free ride? I don't know.
Patrick Bateman Posted 29 January, 2017 Posted 29 January, 2017 Isgrove and Reed - neither have lived up to the standard required at this level. Reed deserves a good loan out and then come back to see what he's got (like Stephens and Gallagher), but Isgrove needs to leave to salvage some career for himself.
FriendlySaint Posted 29 January, 2017 Posted 29 January, 2017 Isgrove and Reed - neither have lived up to the standard required at this level. Reed deserves a good loan out and then come back to see what he's got (like Stephens and Gallagher), but Isgrove needs to leave to salvage some career for himself. Reed looked like he had great potential when he burst onto the scene. The way Koeman treated him has ruined his confidence. Hopefully it hasn't ruined him as a player permanently. He needs to go on loan to league one or the championship. We need to sign a DM anyway, so signing one would give us a chance to loan Reed out.
austsaint Posted 29 January, 2017 Posted 29 January, 2017 Ipswich want Lloyd Isgrove at Southampton. Played last night but probably available. Source :Nixon who is decent Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I'll drive him up there in the Tractor - he's just not good enough.
Tom & Gerry Posted 29 January, 2017 Posted 29 January, 2017 We probably kept him because he has always done well on loan, but if he doesn't get the chances to play how can you know how good is? It's difficult for fringe players to come in when not surrounded by the better players unless you are exceptional. Also some young players look good and don't develop whilst others don't mature until their mid twenties. It's not a case of him not trying or doing the right things. He now needs to try again at a lower level club and good luck to him.
Saintsteve7 Posted 29 January, 2017 Posted 29 January, 2017 We generally try hard to look after our academy graduates rather than discarding them like a piece of rubbish! I'm happy the club gave him another year, it was a pretty low risk strategy that hadn't really paid off but gave him the chance to do so.
TopGun Posted 29 January, 2017 Posted 29 January, 2017 Agree with saint Steve. Need to give players a chance especially if been successful on loan but time is now up for Isgrove.
Whitey Grandad Posted 29 January, 2017 Posted 29 January, 2017 He looked out of place last night. Didn't seem to know what to do or where he should be.
Saint IQ Posted 29 January, 2017 Posted 29 January, 2017 Should of sold him to Barnsley would of been the best move for both partys
Fatboy40 Posted 29 January, 2017 Posted 29 January, 2017 Seems harsh to single him out... I wouldn't single him out, however he's not good enough even as an emergency backup. Yesterday you could see he knew what to to, positioning etc., however he could be knocked over with a feather and Arsenal could easily bully him of the ball.
SuperSAINT Posted 29 January, 2017 Posted 29 January, 2017 Should of sold him to Barnsley would of been the best move for both partys I believe they wanted him but can remember Nixon saying pre-season that Claude liked what he saw of him so decided to keep him. I'm still not sure why as he wouldn't have got into the diamond formation. Ipswich would be a good move. As long as he plays.
spyinthesky Posted 29 January, 2017 Posted 29 January, 2017 I am really sorry for Lloyd but his (non) performances yesterday and against Sunderland (?) were quite poor and he needs to find his level further down the Leagues.
Cheeky Monkey Posted 29 January, 2017 Posted 29 January, 2017 Sell him for nothing and a sell on fee...
The Cat Posted 29 January, 2017 Posted 29 January, 2017 He's a decent, honest player who could probably do a job for a team at the bottom of the Championship/top of League 1. No disgrace in that, he's just not quite good enough for the top division.
SuperSAINT Posted 30 January, 2017 Posted 30 January, 2017 Linked with Bristol City: http://m.bristolpost.co.uk/bristol-city-linked-with-southampton-winger-lloyd-isgrove/story-30096337-detail/story.html That would be a good move for him IMO.
Colinjb Posted 30 January, 2017 Posted 30 January, 2017 The only thing I'll say is if he looked a prospect 5 years ago then what's happened? Why hasn't he developed like he was supposed to and like the club expected? Does he not train properly? Is he in it for a free ride? I don't know. Not everyone can push on. For every Lallana, Walcott and Bale you have many more McGoldrick's, Lloyds James's and Isgrove's.
Giordano Posted 30 January, 2017 Posted 30 January, 2017 In response to the OP: Business decision. Good for everyone.
alpine_saint Posted 30 January, 2017 Posted 30 January, 2017 Strange. Always seemed good the times I saw him (Schalke & Besiktas friendlies in Villach)
Super_Uwe Posted 30 January, 2017 Posted 30 January, 2017 Not everyone can push on. For every Lallana, Walcott and Bale you have many more McGoldrick's, Lloyds James's and Isgrove's. Exactly. No shame in him rebuilding his career in the Championship, not every single one of our academy prospects are going to be Saints regulars. At least he'll have had a good education with us, he just needs to get regular football over the next few years, keep developing and he might get his chance in the Premier League some time in the future. He's hardly past it at 24!
L1Minus10 Posted 30 January, 2017 Posted 30 January, 2017 Homegrown quota in the 25 or something. Only reason I can think of as to why he's stilll here. League 1 level at best. I've seen Under 13 Tyro players who would not look as lost as he does - and they'd tackle harder.
SuperSAINT Posted 31 January, 2017 Posted 31 January, 2017 The Robins have staged talks with 24-year-old Southampton winger Lloyd Isgrove , who is available for transfer after failing to break into the first team squad at St Marys this season.

SuperSAINT Posted 2 July, 2017 Posted 2 July, 2017 Good luck to him. Good to see him link up with Jason McCarthy at a club where they will both get minutes.
beatlesaint Posted 2 July, 2017 Posted 2 July, 2017 Good move for him, got a mate who supports Barnsley and they absolutely love him up there
Tommy Mulgrew Posted 30 January, 2019 Posted 30 January, 2019 Hardly any game time for Barnsley and now on loan to Pompey!
