Thats what I meant, at the moment he sounds like quality and not just the free kicks.

Top player yes and now being played in his correct position, will agree with hanworthbee, he has increased his work rate significantly of late.

I believed he was a show pony who had not much else in the locker other than a decent set piece. He has changed position, changed his whole approach and is now a very effective player. I wasn't wrong then though and I'm pleased that he and the management team have taken those earlier comments on board. :fishing:
 

Sam Saunders

To me he seems to have stepped up since he signed his new contract, may be even with him its confidence.
I like to think Uwe has something to do with it.
 

Sam Saunders

Best I've seen him play in a Brentford shirt, MOM today, keep it up Sam!!!!!!
 

Sam Saunders

..............outstanding today..............
 

Sam Saunders

he is now a round peg in a round hole and full of confidence.

:imwith: glad he's proving me wrong :cool:
 

Sam Saunders

Excellent today. Such a top player in the position he's now in as opposed to the wing. Still found time for one run at goal where he should have passed at didnt but he already had two by that point so I can excuse it.
 

Sam Saunders

Sam is now showing what an intelligent and clever player he is. He is being played more centrally where he can influence the game more and is revelling in it. Some credit must go to Uwe I believe...it also shows what an apalling man manager Scott was...Uwe has got more out of Sanm than Scott ever did.
 

Sam Saunders

Still screams like a girl when he gets a hit though. :tongue:

If I were to say player of the season, would many disagree.....?

............yes............Mr Douglas for me .......far more consistent than Sam...........but Sam is getting there.........
 

Sam Saunders

i dont mind Saunders though im not his biggest fan either,i think people go overboard about him but he had his best game for the Club against Bury,was the difference for us,so unlucky not to have had a hat-trick,his all round game and contribution yesterday was top draw
 

Sam Saunders

Let's be clear about one thing, Sam has never been as good as he has been recently.

It is not like he has been this good and just been sat on the bench as a squad player for 3 seasons, he has clearly worked hard to improve his game and adapt to League 1, and fair play to him.

He now has more to his game than set pieces, that is for sure.
 

Sam Saunders

He tweeted this pic yesterday

Something that clearly applies to Sam recently.
 

Sam Saunders

Around Christmas I heard all the rumours about Sam maybe leaving in January and I didn't really care too much as I thought he had been immature, inconsistent, injury prone and not done himself justice silence his arrival.

I also hoped he might not sign his new contract, but the last 4 months has seen him grow up as a player and thrive on the responsibility placed on him either on the flanks or at the head of the diamond.

12 goals and several assists is a great return and he now looks a real team player who will also chase, Harry and tackle.

He has been the best and most consistent player in the team alongside jake and harlee and he deserves a big thanks from al of us, and the best might yet be to come
 

Sam Saunders

He'll score us goals when we don't look like we'll ever score, just like today... He's done plenty of times since joining now he's doing it consistently, I hope he remains injury free for next season!
 

Sam Saunders

My wife has no idea who he is but he had short sleeves today and I saw his tats. If I was an adolescent girl I might have fallen for him. sadly I'm a well past dolescence male so won't fall for him. However i do like his attitude and his desire to try and make things happen. Everything that was constructive today seemed to come through him........except the pen but credit to him for forcing the ball from Morriosn's grasp and having the guts to take it. Could have been a play off getter!
 

Sam Saunders

Wish he wasn't so technically gifted......that penalty was almost inch perfect, a lesser standard of player would have smashed it. What a free kick as well.

Sam is one of those players that looks like he can be moved to the 'rely on' box, which gives us a good basis for next season
 

Sam Saunders

Showing us what he can do. Finally.
 

Sam Saunders

being close to the discussion with Morrison it went something like this.. sam grabbed ball. clinton came over and asked him if he was up for it. sam said yes I want it and morrison was supportive not trying to get the ball off him hugged him and said good luck.. JUST A PITY THAT AFTER HE MISSED IT THEY WENT UP THE OTHER END AND SCORED!!!! and he was first over to apologise to the travelling support. not the fastest player in the world but he has a brain
 

Sam Saunders

He has qualities that others don't have.Beckam style free kicks on a par with the great man.Scores goals .match winner.
I wouldn't be surprised if a bid was made for him in the summer.
Sheffield Wednesday all ticket will that put people off now.The casuals.
Nearly,nearly still think back to Div 2 days and pleased thats behind us but always welcoming you back someday. So looking at the season I think the lads deserve a cheer or two, let's stuff Wednesday and the sofa mob and finish with 70 points.
Have a great summer.
 

Sam Saunders

We are finally seeing the player we signed from Daggers three years ago. I think Sam has to commended on his drive and determination especially as AS pretty much gave up on him. Some credit should go to Forster and Uwe for instilling their belief in him but Sam has worked his socks off IMO. Few player would have done the same and would have looked for the door.
 

Sam Saunders

Bar the penalty yesterday, he controlled the game yesterday. In my opinion, that was his best performance of a very good season and he reminded of me of Dennis Wise in his pomp, dictating play, putting himself about, geeing up our players and winding up theirs.
He led by example, rose to the challenge and looked like he was desperate to win and never stopped trying to make things happen.
Not always been a fan in his time here although delighted when we signed him from Daggers, recently he's consistently delivered and is fulfilling his potential at the head of the diamond. Bodes well for next year if we can get someone nasty and knowing alongside to protect and allow him to pull the strings.
 

Sam Saunders

................looked genuinely gutted at the end and was apologising for the penalty miss.............
 

Sam Saunders

Saunders is our most creative player, his set piece kicks are valuable and he certainly has looked like he cares - clearly upset at his penalty miss and worked hard to make amends.
 

Sam Saunders

One of the few who can say they had a good game yesterday in spite of that penalty miss.

Hope he can carry his form into next season, I think HF will be after his position though.
 

Sam Saunders

If there was a 'most improved player' award it would definitely go to Sam. Agree that it is between him and Bidwell for player of the season in my eyes.

One shot since August doesn't count for much in my book!

A major disappointment as everyone seemed really pleased he had signed - the worst of the Dagenham Three in my opinion.

He was good in League 2 but unproven at a higher level when we signed him and is still unproven.

At least Ricky Shakes had pace to beat a full back, whereas Saunders seems to be content to run up to the full back and then let him take the ball away - typified by his woeful display at Gateshead.

may come in and we'll sell him............................some people eh ? :yawn:

Dont worry there is a guy at the back of the Bill Axbey stand who slags him off every week even when he gets MOM award.
 

Sam Saunders

There's a guy ( ST Holder) who sits in paddock block D ( I hope he reads this) who continually shouts negative comments about Sam..............nobody else EVER gets it.............I really wonder about some of our "supporters" ?

I sit near a couple of sad gits who also slag him and Clayton off for the whole match, no matter how they both play, and it gets boring week in and week out, I dont think they come to watch football, but just to throw contant abuse about, unfortunately every clubs suffers ***** like that, it's so pathetic, but they get on your nerves so much you feel like giving them a bit of a slapping to shut them up.
