Sam Dalby

Post by Highwood Man »

Just noticed that he is currently plying his trade at 4th in the Scottish Premier league Dundee United, on loan from Wrexham. Marked his 25th birthday yesterday with a goal and seems a very popular figure up there. Certainly has had a nomadic career since leaving us in the crazy mad Italian days.

Yes I think that’s his 6th goal in 7 games still young enough to move on in the game, wonder how he would have got on if he had stayed at the O’s

i think that just says it all about the paucity of Scottish football. I've thought that ever since the days of Sam Parkin he couldn't hit a donkey's arse Banjo for us. Went to the Scottish Prem and was banging them in for fun.

Quite so, if you consider 12 goals in 65 games to be "scoring for fun" and 6 of those goals were for Queen of the South in the 3rd tier

These guys lead a nomadic existence for sure. It must be quite unsettling, though I guess they get used to it.. I don't think we as fans fully comprehend it.

They travel seriously light. I rented (former Bristol Rovers, Oldham manager, and Southend assistant) Dave Penney's flat after he vacated it in Southend.
He was still living there when I viewed it, but in an 800 sq ft flat there was literally a sofa, bed, tv, coffee table, and one of those crappy pop-up wardrobes. That was it. Nothing fancy whatsoever.

Actually just noticed that Sam Dalby is, in fact, the leading scorer in the Scottish Premier League with 8 goals in 13 games! Who'd have thought it?

So only six actual goals because penalties don't count as we all agreed on this Board a very long time ago.

Scored the winner against Dundee today and is top scorer in the SPL with 10 goals. Well done.

After flopping in League 1, League 2 and the National League in recent years he’s finally found his feet in the Scottish Pub League.

Thirteen goals in twenty six games, pleased a local lad has found his level after struggling in the English Non League

I said I’m pleased for him after years of struggling to find the right fit/level and being moved about regularly.

Probably having some half-decent players around him has improved his game opposed to the crud in English League 2 and non-league

It was the pub league reference that came to my notice. I reckon Dundee Utd could serve something up to the Os.
