If i were NC i would still play
4 2 3 1 till the end of the season to get points
Only one up front Jamal Lowe
Hes scoring goals more than our strikers
Martin as option B direct football off the bench
To stay up and avoid fans going mental
Way forward then re build in summer

Bristol City fans saying his legs have gone, seems odd that they sold their striker to Bournemouth and still decided to out him.

If this is our level couldn’t we have beaten Bolton to Cameron Jerome?

Not to bad of a short term signing imo. Holds the ball up really well,gets stuck in and is better technically than he gets credit for.

In recent years his record is: 2017/18 - 2 in 33 for Derby & Reading. 2018/19 - 2 in 30 for Hull. 2019/20 - 11 in 36 for Derby. 2020/21 - 2 in 26 for Bristol City. 2021/22 - 12 in 44 for Bristol City. I appreciate it's an extra body up there but christ alive it doesn't fill me with much enthusiasm, personally.

Wasn't he last prolific 7 years ago or so?!
Gives us better shape, that's about it.

Bristol City fans saying his legs have gone, seems odd that they sold their striker to Bournemouth and still decided to out him. not a player who I would ever have described as quick so can’t imagine he’s much slower then the norm. Always struck me as an awkward physical player who brings others into the game. Fingers crossed still has that in his locker.

If he's able to hold it up and used as a battering ram then lay it off to Willock, Jamal etc, that alone would be an improvement on Dykes. So if we play him that way his own scoring would matter less.
Also could his runs and positional sense in the six yard box be any worse than Dykes?
Dykes' strengths are when we whip balls into him early from wide areas, but we rarely do that because our wide players tend to drift in field or delay early crosses. In that regard Dykes has rarely been played to the few strengths he possesses.

It’s a fair comment about him being a target man but have we got the right players to feed him properly. I hope it doesn’t restrict the likes of Willock and Chair getting game time otherwise we are fucked for next season. Edit.. that comment certainly wasn’t aimed at you West Acton

He has occasionally scored some decent goals from those positions. Problem is we rarely play in those kind of balls.

Didn't he say "no chance" to Barton? in the playoff final when hearing our players chatting about holding on with 10 men?
Richard Keogh next?

Puts himself about a bit, is a nuisance to defenders and should be decent at holding the ball up.
Would much rather have preferred Grabban but at least Martin is a proper striker who Lowe can link up with.

will withhold judgement tbh. i think he's still capable of leading the line and bringing others into play which is what our team really needs. i can't see him scoring many goals though but at least we have some more experience in the dressing room

Would be so funny if he became a prolific striker for us
Still would play 4-2-3-1 as I said will stop NC getting the sack
Stop the rot

I might in a minority here but I can get behind this.
A player who plays in a position we are lacking severely, a bit of a unit, experience and better than nothing.
Would he be in my top 20 targets? Absolutely not but he’s here so let’s not make an embarrassment of ourselves by heckling the fella after 1 game as we like to do at times.
Didn’t think we’d get anyone so it’s a positive for me.
