That Queen of the South stat isn't accurate though mate. I think he was about 1 goal in 4 games before he came to us. Slightly better than that for Scotland too I think. Still not groundbreaking for a centre forward, but nowhere near as poor a scoring record as you're making out. 11 goals in 86 games for QUEEN OF THE SOUTH Have a word with yourself 😂 He’s shit and his career stats back that up. 21 goals in 82 games for QPR - Abysmal. On a positive an improvement on Conor Washington - according to Wiki he was 13 goals in 92 for us...  |

If MB starts him again on Saturday after yet another completely anonymous display at Swansea then my view of him will change.
I get he's playing him to try and allow him the chance to get a goal and get the monkey off his back but the guy has been nothing short of abysmal all season, actually going back to last season.
He's had a very very fair crack of the whip and hasn't taken it.
Time to be a manager and show others they will get a chance if someone is not performing. Wiping someone's arse every week is one thing but showing players that shit performances will be rewarded with starts will not be received well with footballers.

Their opinion is no more credible than ours since neither has coached or managed at this level. Or anywhere near it.
A bit like Les really. You might just as well have grabbed someone off the street. Zero dof experience when appointed.

McCullough
‘Dykes has a defined role in the team and he’s playing that role’
Hahaha fuck me what role is that then because all I’ve seen is a fella who doesn’t chase down, doesn’t pressure CB’s, wins hardly any headers, makes no decisive passes in attack and doesn’t score!!!
Ian let me break it down to you mate because you’re clearly taking the Talk Sport model of say things just to be controversial.
Lyndon Dykes is playing for one reason only. Availability.
Bonne has not wanted to be here. He wanted out. I believe now that the windows shut we’ll actually see him play.
Roberts who I think should be given a start up front hasn’t been fully fit.
Sinclair Armstrong. Brand new to this level. Not up to speed with fitness as yet over long periods, hence an impact sub.
Kellman out on loan.
If any of those options were viable Dykes would be nowhere near playing every single week.

I've been challenging their arguments on here for weeks (and regarding Dykes specifically since he arrived). Thing is when you get as old as me and Al and Bill you just know when someone isn't up to it, ie is not fundamentally a footballer. No diss but I don't give a toss what either RFI or Talksport have to say about it. I done my time, I know. We all know really. |

dykes isn't even the best of a bad situation, how he keeps getting game time is beyond me given his misses and continued lack of presence up top.
i'd rather play armstrong, roberts or even willock up top than dykes. heck, even without them there's still youth players who could do a better job.

Don't shoot the messenger - I'm in broad agreement with most on here re Dykes. Always healthy to hear a cross section of views though. Gallen is an ex-pro, QPR fan and moreover an ex-striker, so it would be narrow-minded to dismiss his views on Dykes out of hand IMO, and isn't one to usually mince his words. |

Gallen is an ex-pro, QPR fan and moreover an ex-striker, so it would be narrow-minded to dismiss his views on Dykes out of hand IMO, and isn't one to usually mince his words. It is a POV that strikers don't have to be prolific. If you strip Heider's penalties out of his tally in our great promotion season he was far from prolific. But we had Adel and others. At the moment we are relying on Willock or Chair to score a worldy, which can be great (Hull) or frustrating (Swansea). Goals aside, does Lyndon do a job? When he first arrived I thought he did. Really put himself about. This season/ back end of last? Far more doubtful IMHO. There have been flashes when he has looked hungry again. But for me just as frustrating as his lack of goals is his lack of bullying defenders, winning headers, creating space etc. For a bloke with that many tattoos he isn't even that hard. When he really tries he looks quite useful but a fair bit of the time he doesn't do enough of that nasty stuff that Beale claims he does - even basics like closing down. Against Hull Chair was running in from deep to close the keeper down, surely that is the absolute minimum we should be expecting from Dykes? The only way I can poss see it working with Dykes in the team if he does far more of that nasty stuff and we bring in the likes of Richards and Amos (or Roberts starts scoring) to spread the goal burden. |

Dykes
Is not worth his place full stop.
This has been done to death.So many missed chances.
Doesn't occupy defenders that alone bully them.
Movement is awful.
Anticipation or gamble where the ball might fall.
When the opposition ses his name on the team sheet I'm surprised they don't have a picnic on the pitch during the game.
Probably the worst CF we have ever had in monetary terms and pound for pound.
Being a good forward or a good pundit doesn't make you right.
I believe what I see and its not good.

Mick Beale yesterday:
"Lyndon wants so much to do well for the fans and his team-mates and you see that in his general work ethic and the way he is around the building."
So it would seem not for want of trying, but more the lack of required ability at this level.

Unfortunately a good work ethic and being a nice bloke aint enough. C.Washington ran his little heart out for us but had about as much composure as a defenestrated* grand piano.

Heider done tons off the ball and brought more to the team then goals which Lyndon unfortunately does not.
If he done all the off ball stuff I would be inclined to give him easier ride but he don’t which makes him a liability and simply fails to contribute anything in most games. Don’t matter what ex pros etc think of him if he turns up and does fuck all week in week out what’s the point, might as well pull someone out the crowd do that and save the wage.

Lyndon needs to watch this guy over the international break. Perfect positioning, timing, speed, pounces with lethal accuracy and evades the last-ditch, desperate lunging tackle...

To be fair, both crosses were delivered perfectly for him and the Ukraine defence in both set pieces was poor. Not to to take anything away from Dykes, he came off the bench, had 2 chances and buried them both.
