19QOS19 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Way off the mark. Naysmith DIDN'T play Dykes and Dobbie as a partnership, that's the big error. RJC is spot on, read his comments. Naysmith has admitted as much in the press today. You missed the point completely.Whether you want to be pedantic or not, Dykes and Dobbie combined to get all those goals. Had Lyle been "partnered" with Dobbie, we'd never have got as big a return. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Gary naysmith would not know a footballer if he walked in to one . Poor manager horrible human being . As for the Sean - Lyndon debate Sean a good honest player and a gem of a guy Lyndon potentially could be anything and I think he will be a major figure for Scotland in years to come .I just Hope queens have a cut of his next move as well Bit harsh I'd say it's extremely harsh. Naysmith always came across as a really nice guy and the fact the players were gutted he was let go speaks volumes. I can only assume lowland star knows him personally to come out with such a comment. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I think we're now seeing some revisionism of Dykes' contribution at Queens, to rival that delivered in the opposite direction regarding Harkins. He's obviously done great since leaving us, but he really, really wasn't all that when he was at Queens. He's being seen as a much greater loss now, than he ever was at the time he left us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not from me you're not. I thought he was a massive loss at the time and said so. If there's revisionism now, and there is, it's from people who couldn't see his worth at the time and have come to realise they were wrong. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now at 24 he’ll be playing his trade in the second tier of English football which is a very good standard. Add an imminent international call up into the mix as well. I liked big Sean O’Connor but Lyndon certainly has more about him hence why he is where he is. Did Sean not play for Dundee Utd him and Dobbie got more goals as a partnership than Dykes Dobbie Sure we had a better team but everyone did back then. And a scotland or oz caps a bit easier to get than an England 1 They're both excellent pros who follow the managers instructions no one can ask more But sheepheid is a legend 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, fair enough. In fairness, you were consistently wrong about what he offered Queens for a long time. You're not one of those Johnny-Come-Latelies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time he left I was a massive fan and appreciated what a good player he was. I'm pretty sure I said something similar when he left and that if folk can't see how good he is now then they never will. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gogs Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I certainly said at the time he was a big loss he was a huge part of the reason dobbie got so many goals that season.There was a point when I described his as a waste of a wage however that's when he was being played out on the wing certainly not the players fault.I wish him well and can see him getting a Scotland call up soon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Truly remarkable that in this revisionist account of Lyndon Dykes and Stephen Dobbie acting as the Shearer and Sutton golden strike partnership of their generation that Queen of the South still contrived to finish *checks notes* 9th in an utter dogshit second tier. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the teams in the division were utter shite, Morton finished in the top half without a single player scoring double figures, donkeys like Gregor Buchanan playing every week and going through three managers in the same season. So this 'oh our forwards were amazing shame the rest of the team were pish' line is yeah clearly bollocks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really wasn't any sort of achievement at all... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
