Dunfermlin­e How to stop Dobbie?

- John V Lloyd

We are a sporting lot at East End Park. On 9 December many of us applauded Stephen Dobbie off the field. We could hardly do otherwise. The Queen of the South player had accounted for three goals in the 5-2 rout. I swear Ryan Williamson, the Pars young defender being monitored by big clubs, left the pitch with his legs, like a cartoon character, tied in knots!

So how do we stop him on Saturday, given the attacking midfielder may shoot from the halfway mark? Thanks to the transfer window only five players who played last time will start. One salivates at the prospect of this irresistib­le force (three hat-tricks, 24 goals) confrontin­g an immovable object in Jean-yves M’voto Owono. It could be a masterclas­s.
