Queen of the South Feast of Stephen

- Neil Cameron

The constant eulogising of Stephen Dobbie by Queens fans may come across like a broken record to some, but I make no apology for doing so. We’re witnessing goalscorin­g like we’ve never seen before, and likely never will. He followed up last week’s hat-trick with four goals against Ayr taking his tally to 18 goals in ten games, or 21 in 11 if you include the final game of last season when, you guessed it, he scored a hat-trick.

Since August last year he has bagged seven hat-tricks. Messi has managed a mere five in that time and Ronaldo a pathetic four!

Dobbie has clearly got his shooting boots on this season, but the key difference is the supporting cast. The manager has struck upon a system that is getting the best out of everyone.
