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

Good luck to him

Thought he would come good..stylish and thoughtful..

25? F*cking Hell.

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?

How many were penalties?

I think that two of them were penalties.

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

That's about his level

Every team needs a battering ram.

I felt he had a deft touch ....

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

Close to outstanding..

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

13 goals in the Scottish Premier League so far this season..why are you digging him out?

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

We should bring him home if he out of contract this summer.

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