Not getting picked, hardly surprising.

He has to hit the ground running to get picked though, and he hasn't for either his parent club or Kilmarnock. He'll be on decent money though, so every cloud and all that.

Dallas was a fine NL player. If he can return to the form he had, he would be a good addition for any club at our level or the one above.

I suspect like Lofthouse, he will (for opposite reasons) go out on loan to a more suitable club.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see him pop up across the M1 for the rest of the season.

Bet it’s somewhere obscure.

Talking of ex strikers, is Kabby injured or out of favour. I'd love to see him get back to his best.

Last appearance in Fleetwood's match day squad was an unused sub v Shrewsbury on New Year's Day, Charlie Adam obviously doesn't rate him enough to even name him as a sub.

If I was a betting man, I can see Peterborough paying him up, and him lining up for Boreham Wood in this league at the start of next campaign.

Now there's a surprise. I can't help but think he'**** his peak, and he's on his way down again. Going out on loan gives a player a chance to shine, and show the parent club what he can do, but he's shown nothing at Kilmarnock. He didn't help himself by missing the preseason though.

Sounds like they’ll be sending him out on loan again to get game time as part of his development with the aim of rejoining Barnsley in the summer. Presumably Killie signing another striker this week pushed him further down the pecking order there.

He’ll get a L2 loan for the rest of this season.

[HibberdCFC]

Dallas signing for oldham on loan then it seems. Good signing for them! If they sort their home form they’ll be a good bet in the playoffs.

He’s only been there a season….paying him off could be expensive!

Does Wikipedia have it right that he hasn't scored a goal since he left us?!

It's criminal what's happened to him since that tackle, and what penalty did the perpetrator face, nothing whatsoever. On top of that, I think the Birmingham City move folding did as much mental damage, but he can't blame Chesterfield FC for that. The way he's going, he'll be lucky to make his local pub team. If he can't get fired up by Cookie in the dressing room I do fear for his future. Come on Kabby get your finger out.

I suppose geography is a factor but good old Gormless Gaz has been ‘managing’ Exeter with only one centre forward on the books with the fans crying out to sign a forward line and the idiots who appointed Caldwell saying it’s impossible as every League One club are after strikers. Dallas would surely be able to do a job for Exeter or equivalent lower League One side, especially if Exeter see sense and employ a real manager.

He scored one for Peterborough in their L1 play off penalty shoot out semi at Wednesday but I don’t they count to a players career totals.

Leave our Gaz where he is. If we get promoted and they go down, that's six points in the bag 😂😂😂.
I can't see Dallas being any better off under Caldwell as he is now. Our Gaz would probably play him as a left back. When Caldwell was our manager, we could have the quality of Harry Kane or Mo Salah leading the line on single figures for the season.

Yes, that’s why I said Dallas would do well in a team like that if they employed a real manager. No striker stands much chance of scoring in a Caldwell team. Can’t recall anyone doing when he ‘managed’ us.

I think out of favour.
Adams signed another striker on loan which has pushed Kabby out the match day squad
