qos_75 Posted August 28 Author Share Posted August 28 I see the replacement for the tanner fund is now up and running. Anything that brings in some more funds for the club can only be a good thing. https://www.qosfc.com/news-6478 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biblemaster Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 15 hours ago, Worcester Source said: Afternoon All My first post although a regular on here for a couple of years A Birmingham City fan first and foremost but with a soft spot for QoS and Forfar! We've just announced the signing of Lyndon Dykes - obvs learned his trade with QoS and developed since at Livi and QPR but what type of player can we expect? We've spent more than the rest of L1 since our relegation and I think he's the 14th new face with Scott Wright of Rangers rumoured to be the imminent 15th We've also signed Alfie May who's been prolific at L1 so think if him and Dykes play together as a front two or May in the no 10, we could be in for some goals! I didn't actually like him at Queens, I always felt someone playing up front with Dobbie should have been able to find enough space to score a lot more goals than he did. For Scotland however (I was amazed when he made the team in the first place), he has been their best defender! I think he's really good at "pressing" and makes it really difficult for teams to build from the back, which,of course, is a huge thing in the modern game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit in Dykes' early time with us I wasn't a great fan but put that down to, shall we say, off-field distractions affecting his on- field performances, he certainly didn't look like future International material. Once he got settled though he proved to be a vital player and was greatly instrumental in Dobbie achieving his goals tally. He could be frustrating at times, seemed to lack a bit of composure when presented with scoring opportunities, something that experience at a higher level has obviously rectified. I never really considered him an out and out striker though, more someone to do the spadework for the likes of Dobbie, and I'm sure Dobbie has given credit to Dykes for his part in him reaching his goals tally. Wish Dykes all the best for the future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Dykes was good with us and deserved to be at a higher club level but was surprised he made it to international level (he wouldn't have made that breakthrough with larger nations). His biggest asset was his work rate, chasing down lost causes and being a complete pest for opposing defences, creating spaces/opportunities for others - ie the Dobbster. I never saw him as an outright goal threat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Another attacking option! The last wide player we had from Boro was rather good. Left winger who's chipped in with a few goals at youth level. Hopefully has a spell as good as Izzy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Boro it's until January so worst case he gets sent back. Although hopefully he has a great spell with us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he is as good as Isiah Surprised to see him not get on given we were chasing the match at 0-1. I said I would give it to end August before giving my view on where we are at: Positives The impact that McLinden, Armstrong etc have made on communications, social media, community etc is chalk and cheese vs the old regime. A real feel good atmosphere early doors. On paper we have a stronger and better pool. In the top 4. Negatives To be honest our form is mediocre and if we compare it to last season we have 7 points vs 9. It’s not inspiring to watch as we have failed to score in 5 games out of 9. We have had a lot of crucial injuries but that seems to be the case every season now and we are not alone in having key players out, see the ICT today for instance. In this even league it’s disappointing as favourites, deemed by many, to see us already 4 points behind Kelty. Murphy needs to prove his management chops soon and start getting us results. Let’s see where we are end of Q1 but I’m a bit underwhelmed with the way we are playing and results to date. Just my perspective…..

Well between me writing this and seeing results at least Kelty conceded late to draw. Still my point remains we need to start getting some results as 7 points out of 15 just isn’t good enough 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
