Might knock his ego down a peg or two now he's been released. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked as if he was only interested in himself not the team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
football maniac Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 There were occasions where u saw what Dickson could do. I remember one particular run he did where he effectively knocked players out of the way forcing his way through with his strength. It reminded me of John McGinn. His latter performances were certainly better than his earlier ones imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His latter performances were certainly better than his earlier ones imo. I must have looked away when that happened (and I say that sincerely, not as a piss-take). I honestly can't recall anything of note from him. He was another Pybus for me but without any of the energy. Completely useless and I'll be surprised if he rocks up at a club at this level. As I eluded to earlier, it might make him get his act together and perform better rather than live off the fact he was a Rangers player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_palmy_pie Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Day 1 of pre-season training today apparently with several trialists on show along with all those currently signed up for 2021/22. Do Queen of the South send a social media team to these events for interviews with the new players and management team along with photographs and perhaps a report of how the day went ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s definitely a player in there somewhere but the boy needs to sort out his attitude if he wants to make a name for himself in football. He’s suffering from daft young boy syndrome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the trickery of wee Mebude, but his final decision making wasn't great - too often went for the Hollywood finish (and made an arse of it) when a team mate was in a better position and he could have passed. Maybe just needs coaching though. As others have said, didn't rate Dickson from what I saw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always interesting reading the PFA list of free agents. Half the bios are just a list of how many years they were at an Old Firm youth side, with actual senior games played elsewhere just tagged on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's been signed as a starter rather than a benchwarmer that may mean AJ isn't planning on playing Todd on the left wing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airdrieman Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Fair fucking play Mr Roy, getting another go at full-time football. I think there’s definitely a player in Ally Roy. Albeit one who’s definitely a confidence player. He wasn't very good but I think he was quite unlucky in his time at Airdrie and two defining moments potentially stopped him from properly kicking on. In 2019/20 he scored three goals in the League Cup group stages, not a bad return at all, and looked like he might be a handy acquisition. Then in the second game of the season he blootered a penalty over the bar at Links Park, his confidence almost literally drained from him in that instance and he never once looked the same player. The rest of the season he spent confined to the bench where he’d maybe come on in the last 10-20 minutes of games and every time the game just looked completely beyond him and his abilities. He never even ‘put himself about’ in that way fans like and he looked a player devoid of confidence. He scored another 2 goals but they were both the last in 3-1 and 4-1 wins (I think) so largely meaningless. He was kept on for last season inexplicably in the eyes of most fans. But he hit a real purple patch in pre-season (for whatever that’s worth) and scored in every friendly bar one (IIRC). Then in the opening minutes of the League Cup groups he got a really bad arm injury and was out until December/January/after the break. After that he did score three goals in three games and at that point looked like he could be a real threat and a vital part of the run-in. But then he was in and out of the team and struggled to get any proper momentum back. His time at Airdrie wasn’t great but I definitely think there’s a player in there somewhere. At what level though I’m not sure. TBH I think he’d have been best dropping down to League 2/Lowland League/WoSFL to get a regular run of games, under a manager who’s going to pick him every week and where ideally he can go on a scoring run. I'm astonished he's got another gig in full-time football so quickly let alone up a level. Maybe he'll be worth a punt with game time but he's not somebody I'd want to be relying on for goals in League 1 let alone the Championship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Hopefully the boy finds some form with us. Have to admit the "confidence player" isn't something I want to hear in regards to a striker for us. Our strikers won't get bags of chances every game. Haven't seen him play so will reserve judgement until he's settled in. Good to get a striker on board though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
