Still fit as a fiddle, scores great goals, contributes to the team performance and links superbly with Dobbie.

But still our Manager doesn't recognise all of those qualities and marginalises him as much as he can.

Some might say well he keeps getting injured but Naysmith was leaving him out earlier in the season for other reasons.

Mainly to 'fit in' his old pal McFadden who was a complete failure - he couldn't even deliver a decent corner or free-kick anymore. Oh, and of course, to make sure Dykes got to play every game.

I really would love to know what Clubs were interested in him which led to his contract being extended and why we didn't say 'On you go'.

Another set of baffling, incompetent decisions from this Manager.
