i wouldn't mind if lyndon was a 1 in 3 or even a 1 in 4 striker if he did his job and lead the fucking line.
bobby firminio and drogba weren't prolific but they are/were a handful for any defender because they can hold up the ball and open space up for other players.
dykes does none of that shit and even worse he doesn't even look like he's trying

It's frustrating Corbs. And like a few others on here have suggested, he actually seems to be getting worse. What pisses me off the most is we have since glimpses of how good he can be. Why on earth can't he produce his best form on anything like a regular basis?

By January he had netted 9 goals, one in two. Probably manager keeps on picking him as waits him to find his form again (which probably is ok at training ground). Like Chelsea pick Lukaku or ManU Rashford. You never know about strikers. Five years ago I thought Benzema was the worst striker in football and couldn't understand why he was picked. Look at him now. It was 9 in 23, so that's actually closer to one in three (I know I incorrectly posted 1:2 at the time). Earlier on in October he was scoring 1 in 2. He's now on 1 in 4. So as I say, he has actually deteriorated through the course of the season. So WHO is really to blame if it's the manager that keeps picking him? It's not Lyndon Dykes. |

Stan, it's not like we haven't got another option. Gray's stats are far more impressive than Dykes, and he quite clearly suits our style of play better. The mind boggles at some of Warburton's decision making at times.

Why on earth can't he produce his best form on anything like a regular basis? exactly. last season when he was on his bad run you could tell it was incredibly frustrating for him, he was snatching at chances and trying to get involved but simply wasn't up to it. this season? he just walks around, loses the ball and can't even hold the ball up against even the most moderate of pressing. even chair does a better job at holding the ball up lol. just really pisses me off and we should be doing everything we can to get rid of him in the summer. i'd genuinely rather have connor washington up front because at least he'd press people even if he was useless at everything else lol. |

How Dykes is picked over Gray as a starter is beyond me. Only decent when a ball goes near his bonce and that hardly ever happens.

Mark Warburton yesterday.
Starts with a donkey up front who’s not been producing for ages.
Donkey does absolutely fuck all, again.
Takes off donkey to bring on another donkey, Austin who also offered absolutely nothing although the one bit of credit I’ll give him was he looked like he was trying.
Then too late brings on Gray, clearly our biggest threat.
These are the decisions that will get MW fucked off at the end of the season.
If you’re going to play donkey 1 at least play Gray or donkey 2 with him.
Stupid bastard.

Honestly, I think of his tactical decision making this season has been getting close to Ian Holloway territory. And that is not something I say lightly!

3 or 4 good strikers HAS to be the priority this summer. Offload Dykes and Austin, try to keep Gray but I doubt he'll want to stay with us with Watford coming down. We need fresh faces in, and stop with the small squad bollocks. It's shit.

Their isn't exactly an abundance of them available on the cheap. |

Which is why we should have kept some attack-minded pacy youngsters near the squad, even though they may not be 'ready'. Throw them in at the deep end once in a while and see if they float. Give opposition something else to think about instead of two donkeys and an ex-champ. Thought eg. Duke-Mckenna had something about him, and plenty of energy and pace.

How did that work out with Kelman last season, and Oteh before that mate?
Only worth doing if they are good enough. I think you are right with Duke-McKenna though. Masterson is another youngster that I think is good enough. I'm sorry to say that I don't think we have too many others that would add much value at present. Maybe Sinclair Armstrong in seasons to come.

That's it, Dykes is the new Benzema. We've just got to wait 5 years for him to start scoring.

You're right. We must give him 5 year contract extension asap. |

I don't think I can watch another season with Lyndon dykes playing for us , let's hope Glasgow rangers buy him where he will probably do well

It`s not his fault his been picked. Warburton was given a chance to bring in a striker, but said no.

What's all this talk of Dykes playing through injury?
Is this speculation, or does someone know something?

Bit cryptic Shania. Did Warburton say he's been playing through injury? If so, why is picking him? |
