It was Scott MacDonald bigging up his fellow Aussie. GN praised him for the number of assists, his hold up play and energy. GN also said he wouldn’t swap the Dykes/Dobbmeister partnership for any other pairing in the league.

The key point being Dobbie there tbf, could be playing with Dobbie and Alan Martin upfront and I still wouldn't want to swap him.

 

Moffat is the best second striker in the division IMO, him and Dobbie would be a fantastic partnership.

This is already Dobbie's most prolific season of his career and the first in which he has hit 30+ goals.  Despite how much it pains some of our supporters to admit it, a large part of this is down to Lyndon Dykes and Gary Naysmith.  It is far too simplistic to say that it is all down to Dobbie.

It would be unrealistic to think he does it all himself and he does praise the rest of the team to be fair. Ultimately  he grabs the headlines though.

Ridiculous. You clearly don’t see the work Dykes does.  And Michael Moffat 3 goals in 19 games with 4 assists is hardly the best second striker in the league.

Derek Lyle was a better player than Dykes, especially when it comes to being a goalscorer (obvs)  but you could see with him and Dobbie against better sides having a strike force aged about 70 odd meant that they'd have zero pressure on them as they physically couldn't press, so you weren't able to play your two better players especially when Rankin was nearing the glue factory in behind. If you are a defender against us last season, you could play a high line as neither of them would be beating you  very often in a sprint (Unless you play for Falkirk), which puts even more pressure on us as they can push up against a crap midfield.  

The move we've made has eventually replaced a pretty old team with guys that are able to push out and counter quickly.  Defenders can't double up on Dobbie as much if you have multiple supporting runners, like Dykes or Todd. It also helps that if Low is on the ball in deeper areas rather than Dobbie as we can get him the ball where he should be getting it. 

The mistake we've made  a lot since he's came back is thinking we can combine Dobbie with either older players with quality or talented but lazy players which in a five aside is fine but considering the finite time you get in possession with the first thought often being give it to Dobbie, we just get more of the negative about those styles of player than the good.

My mistake I’m new to this and not familiar with users. 
Looks like Moffat has really stepped up while Shankland has been out injured...

As I said he’s not a goalscorer. He might only get around 10 goals a season but his work off the ball and link up play more than makes up for it.

He’s part of the reason Shankland is so good.

Taking 18 months to get the best out of Dobbie at this level is hardly a ringing endorsement of Naysmith’s ability.

If we're looking at 72 goals in 92 games playing under Naysmith and 2 golden boots as an underachievement then I can't wait for him to finally hit form.

Aw ffs is this shite still going on about Naysmith and Dykes? People have different opinions on things. Some think one or both is class, others are unconvinced. No-one has ever been persuaded to change their opinion on a football forum.  Change the record instead perhaps.

At what speed would you like it at:  33 1/3 ,  45 or 78 rpm.    Its up to you.
