I could still do it now, do you want to put a bet on Look, rscot, I believe whatever you say. Hope you are helping a lot of pro footballers in Scotland to get better, and that you get paid well doing so. And when circumstances improve and travelling is safe again, I hope you swing by Harlington and improve our lot too in your spare time. Happy new year. Anytime you fancy a bet, let me know. I’m not involved in football at the moment. Other things in my life came up. But in a year or two I’ll be able to pursue my ideas fully, but I get the feeling it will be abroad. |

dykes will come good mark my words. i called him a taller conor washington yesterday but tbh theres more to him than that. he has 'something' about him that makes me believe he'll be a good player for us one day. we have to bare in mind that he's had a meteroric rise up the leagues over 2-3 seasons so obviously will need to bed in still.
hes a team player though thats for sure, i think his main problem is the manager.

Now if you fancy a bet sometime, do you think my words are those of a rambling madman or do they illustrate a real understanding of the subject 🤷♂️, that’s the gamble |

Warburton to Dykes: "Hide behind defenders so you won't get involved in the game. But if you do, take a heavy touch and lose possession".

I want to know who's been bugging the training ground? This is far too realistic. Do they wait until Carroll has gone home to work on dead balls? We need to know this stuff😁

I think we might start to see Scotland’s Lyndon dykes now he’s got someone to work with. Thought his and Charlie were excellent. Saw an article somewhere(might have been lfw) that highlighted most of dykes previous partners have done very well playing alongside him. He does a lot of the ground work and will chip in with a few once his confidence is regained. Thought he looked a totally different player on Tuesday I agree. Amazing what a difference the right strike partner can make. He just really needs a goal now. |

Ok so I’ve just watched the whole game again and I stand by my statement, Dykes was decent, he was QPR’s most productive out ball, he allowed the team to get up the pitch by winning his fair share of aerial duels, and even if he didn’t win the initial contact, because he’s putting in a challenge, a lot of the time the ball is falling to another QPR player or is going out for a QPR throw. Don’t quite know what you guys are expecting, most centre half’s are 6’3 or taller, you put any CF in the world up against them and pump up long balls and no CF in the world is going to win everything.
He linked up play reasonably well when the opportunity presented itself, he worked his socks off again, though you don’t seem to recognise that either. I’d put money that out of all the QPR players Dykes is consistently clocking up more km per match than probably any other player during a game, Chair too probably is up there.
Now here’s the player rating from the West London Sport
Lyndon Dykes: 5
Got little change from a rugged Blackburn defence, won little in the air and his hold up play was poor. Forced off after being dazed by the arm of Lenihan in an aerial challenge.
Go and watch the game again and tell me that Dykes didn’t compete in the aerial duels, and come back and tell me when in the game his hold up play was poor, not in the game I’ve just rewatched.
Now these guys have got Bonne as a 6, Adomah as a 6, Bettache as a 7, which is laughable. You’re trying to tell me that all these players have a more positive impact for the team in a few minutes then Dykes did grafting his tits off for 80 minutes, laughable.
But then again they also gave Dom Ball an 8 and Johansen a 7, when I didn’t think the midfield were anywhere near that good. Their passing was sloppy most of the game, Dom Ball was lucky to stay on the park.

tell me that Dykes didn’t compete in the aerial duels thats in the job description mate. For me he lacks composure as a striker. That may or may not change. He can run as much as he likes but we've been there with Washington, and its the end product - or lack of it - that counts if you're supposed to be a hitman. Washington would run for you all day long but as a striker at this level, forget it. He was an international too. Personally, I wouldn't play LD and Chaz together, I'd see him as bench for Chaz and I'd play Chair alongside whichever one of them is on the park. I think Chair would be more dangerous playing off chaz than Bonne, and it gives us another AMF option. Just my opinion. |

And he did it decently yesterday, he was working their backline as well as could be expected considering the service that was being hoofed up to him. I bet the Blackburn defence were very happy to see him leave the field. Mate if you put any striker on the planet up top on their own with a midfield 3 of Chair, BOS and Willock behind them, they struggle, and that’s what QPR did to him for 20 games and then laid all the blame at his feet. He’s now in a functioning team, and is doing ok alongside Charlie, so hopefully he’ll get a goal sooner or later, he does deserve one. |

Here’s another little fact about Dykes that you may not have noticed, he’s played a lot of games and is having to compete in a lot of aerial duels etc, he’s picked up 2 yellow card this season. So he’s grafting and fighting up front but he’s not a liability, he’s competing fairly and isn’t picking up lots of bookings or getting sent off.

Another little stat for you guys:
Austin and Dykes have started 4 games together
QPR have won 3 and lost 1, and that was the game against Derby when there was only Ball in midfield.
It must be luck though because Dykes is a passenger

One thing you miss in your obsession with selling Dykes is the fact he's supposed to be a striker. One goal in 25 games is no striker - to date he's one of the poorest I've seen in Hoops and I've seen plenty. I posted and someone echoed that he's always at least a yard away from where he should be and there was a glaring example of this last game when Chair got in the box, stuck the ball across almost on the goal line and with no anticipation from Dykes the defender cleared. A proper striker would have been on top of the defender for a tap in. This is not an isolated example. |

A proper striker would have been on top of the defender for a tap in. This is not an isolated example. Go watch it again, it was impossible for ANY striker to get to that ball unless the was a bend (away from the keeper ) on the ball, look at the gap between the keeper and the leg of the incoming defender that the ball had to travel through, impossible to get onto unless your legs are 6 foot long or there’s a bend on the ball, which there wasn’t. Nice to see Chair play a ball in with his left foot though It’s impossible to get onto that ball and stay onside, it looks a clearer chance than it actually was |

Good strikers anticipate, gamble and are usually moving forward in the 6 yd box.

Nonsense, there was hardly any pitch left to stay onside. If this was an isolated example I'd back off and give him benefit of the doubt but time and again you see he has no striker's instinct.
