Naive to think it'll be different for us IMO. TBF to Fyvie, if I was at the DABs, I would not be giving 100% either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srw Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Dieng was awful. He had a few decent games, but he had many, many more howlers. I wouldn’t want him back to be honest. However, if it was a straight choice between him and Hamilton, then obviously it’s Dieng. But that reasoning also goes for Hamilton or torso in a wheelchair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dieng is by far, the best keeper we've had in the air since Rab. Being 7ft made a difference but he was nowhere near awful, spilled a couple of shots in bad places but his all round game was very good (apart from one cross at Hamilton) and he took a lot of pressure off the defence.He'll have a better career than Dundee when a good coach works on a couple of wee things. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll have a better career than Dundee when a good coach works on a couple of wee things. I thought he had all the attributes, but just didn’t impress me at all. His first two games were promising, I believed we actually signed a player for once, but then things went belly up as usual. I’d say Speroni was better in the air, despite being pretty small for a keeper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Dieng wasn't the finished article. Bear in mind he'd only played first team football in the Conference before us. He had it all. He epitomised the new breed of sweeper keepers coming through and that style lends itself to you making the odd c**t of things, not least when your defence is never ever gonna help you out. I thought he commanded his box like no keeper I've seen since Rab and he had the flexibility of Speroni. If he has half the career either of those had he'd be doing well but he certainly has the raw attributes to become first choice at QPR ahead of Liam Kelly IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Just my opinion so ignore it, but Dieng wont make it unless he learns he doesnt need to dive every time hes making a save. A few times against us he had some bizarre moments where he couldn't just stood still and collected the ball but decided to jump about punching it instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dd23 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Everybody hates Bain obviously but when he first came in and replaced Letheren it was the most impressed I'd been with anyone since Rab started. I seem to recall one of the things that marked him out was the willingness to come off his line. That drifted out of his game, and if course the rest as they say is history. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Fyvie signs with us he’ll stroll this league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Kenny Miller to have his contract ripped up in the next 48 hours according to the Sun. Bit of a shock and a blow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Dieng was terrible Mr Miller is offski. Pretty annoyed at that. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Litt Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I'm not actually that bothered about Miller going, my worry is that he's just going to be replaced with Doolan which all seems rather pointless. We need at least two strikers now as Curran is never going to score enough goals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srw Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Great news. All he did most games was walk about in midfield pointing. Undoubtedly a good player in his day, but he is well past it. Hope we don’t sign Doolan to replace him though, that would be a massive mistake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I don't especially want Miller to leave, but if the Partick Thistle thing is true then one can only imagine it's been imitated by Miller himself that he wants to move on. He's our highest paid player, so if we can bring in a couple of players ie, Fyvie and Doolan from his wage alone then it'll be disappointing but probably prudent business. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller for Fyvie and Doolan sounds a fairly shite deal, and I'm no fan of Miller. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds a shite deal if you think of the Miller at the end of his Rangers spell, but he deteriorated at a spectacular rate last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
