grumswall Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Agreed, but I’m not sure he’s really fully ready. I simply named the three subs that would be used, not the whole group riding the pine. If Vaughan is really ready for limited action, I’d certainly see him for Ross at the 60-75 mark. It was great to see him play the other day, but I’m also happy to wait another couple of games to let him get back up to game speed.Iv been happy to roll will "gando and sando" I may even be happy to go with the jmac and kmac vibe you've now got going. I can't ever condone "riding the pine" though! Shape up tx! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to toss that in there for Davie to be aghast at. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) 5 hours ago, grumswall said: Is he not essentially your highest transfer fee just due to the sell on clause? That on top of keeping you in the championship with a couple of solid performances makes it baffling any queen's fan would argue against his contribution to the club. Oh for God's sake, do you not think I'd maybe heard about the transfer fee and welcomed it? Actually he probably delivered more than a "couple of solid performances", as you put it, but I don't think he was that outstanding for Queens over the piece, which is why I take issue with the notion that he somehow "saved" us. It's preposterous. Had he not gone on to much greater things since leaving, I can guarantee that nobody would be raving about what he did with Queens I think his contribution to us, pre QPR move, was not especially significant. In fact, had the ref not fallen for his dive moments later, his main contribution would have been in the shape of an inexplicable handball against Falkirk, which would have seen us relegated outright. My case isn't that he was rubbish with us - he wasn't. It's that what he offered at Queens is very much seen through the lens of what he's done since, which has a distorting effect.

From my perspective, I felt Dykes was a standout in the playoffs. Obviously, you guys will have seen how he'd performed across the course of the season so can form a better opinion. I wasn't surprised to see Dykes adjust comfortably to the top flight based off his games against us. Sometimes something can click with a player: same thing happened to a lesser degree with Brian Graham when with us - he went for a hernia operation and came back looking like an absolute goalscoring juggernaut. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSDR 88 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Bought the game, 2nd virtual away day for me, will be getting the pints in from 2pm onwards. I’ve skipped past the details on the QotS Live page, and maybe missed on here, does Queens use the Pixelot system or is it good guys/gals behind the camera? As for the game, I reckon it’ll be pretty tight, bookies favouring the draw, would love a win - obviously! Let’s go for the new nicknames in the line-up (courtesy of TxRover) - JMacTumilty Davo Bene KMacMatthews Hendry Armstrong Tait RossDukuHead says 1-1, heart says 1-2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely no Pixellots were harmed in the making of our games. The online system is the same as ParsTV, so up to you if you consider that good guys or not 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the whole debate though. Even MT isnt saying Dykes isnt a good player now, he is saying he became one after leaving us. I couldnt disagree more. We both know this though. Any opportunity and we go again...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoBNob Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Fair play to MessiScott for doubling down on the "Queens are shite" posts, I was planning on easing up on them on the run up to Dunfermline playing them, before in the eventuality of Dunfermline losing, claiming that it wasn't a surprise. Or if Dunfermline won, claiming it was no surprise, brave. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
