I’ve gone Dykes, purely because I’m too much of an old fart to remember most of the others with much clarity.

Agree with all the Dykes sentiments, when he scuffed that shot from about 4 yards out I could only laugh as it's classic Dykes. What makes me laugh even more is that he's actually our joint top scorer this season, which is a damning indictment for the rest of the sorry bunch of losers that make up our squad. Just wondering when 6 became our top scorer. I take it, it was October. It's an absoute disgrace. |

gone steffan moore. Mainly because he came with such hype ... but it was his brother who was the good player haha.
When I was younger, I would count how many times Slade would touch the ball, because he was so shit.
Some absolute shit in there. Dykes is no way as bad as those. Hes not great, but he isnt that level of bad.

My exact thoughts too Sponge and Matty. It's a bit like when everyone votes for the best footballer ever. Most vote for Messi or Ronaldo, more because they're the most recent. |

It's not 'recency' bias in my case (can't speak for anyone else, obvs). I think I've seen pretty much all of those strikers in action at some point, and I've voted on the basis of who has been the most irritating to endure, and for me, that's Dykes.

I think the period of time comes into it for Dykes - certainly does for me. No other club would be putting up with such a non-performer.

No other club would be putting up with such a non-performer. Except the over touchy-feely, non-ruthless-where-necessary clubs like QPR FC. |

Think the voting for Lyndon says everything about the frustration of fans at where the club currently is and very little to do with the relative contribution of players on that list. For all his faults there were players with way worse scoring records than his on that list and even worse players. Hateley could barely even walk by the time he got to us.

Don't vote as there's too many options I haven't seen enough. Vine is the only one of those I have ''hated'' because he refused to move on when asked.

But Hateley was only here for just over a year before he went back to Rangers. We’ve had Dykes for best part of three with no improvement.

The thing is, Dykes can walk. In fact, he’s in his prime which makes it all the more criminal that he doesn’t put in a shift. And let’s face it, anyone who covers themselves in tattoos and shaves their barnet leaves themselves wide open to abuse if they can’t back up at least a semblance of their hard man image on the pitch. That and the fact that he seems to be able to flick a switch and perform far better for his adopted country. |

Voted Hateley,what an utter crock of shit he was and loved himself so much he would eat himself if he could. Still to this day,can't believe how we wasted the Ferdinand money.

He is shit at a lot of things from a technical stand point, but wouldn't say lack of effort is a trait of his? |

He’s limited technically so should at least put himself about and let defenders know they are not in for an easy time. |

Like his present day partner Martin, for example. You'd have thought it might rub off a bit. |

Out of all those choices Dykes leads by a mile. That takes some doing given the list.

Plus of course Dykes is essentially an Aussie Rules export with the football brain of a cockatoo. And no discernible skills bar a decent throw in. |

The poll's question was posed out of genuine interest and in all good faith. It certainly wasn't intended politically, so if anyone has voted Dykes mainly for that reason I'd urge them to change it in answer to the actual question. |

I'd only vote for Lyndon if the question was worst striker with 100+ appearances, but he wins that no contest.

Hard to fathom how Dykes is topping this list. Yeah, he's not very good and we've had to suffer his more often than not, turgid performances for way too long now. But look at some of the other shitters on that list. Some players on there that were way worse than Dykes.

But look at some of the other shitters on that list. Some players on there that were way worse than Dykes. thing is though most if not all of the genuine contenders on that list haven't played anywhere near as many games as dykes. angell and hately played 13 and 27 respectively for us. even steffan moore only played 38 games across 3 seasons with us. dykes is into his 3rd season as our main man but has been woeful for a good 85% of those games. i think everyone has been far more angry and frustrated at dykes than they were at the other shit strikers we've had. heck, i think if we only had dykes for one season he'd still be up there as one of the worst strikers but 3 seasons is a bit of a pisstake imo. |

Interesting that the votes for Angell, Moore and Hateley can't be divided, and all in 2nd= so far.

Macauley Bonne another recent player with remarkably poor stats. Wiki says 42 games 3 goals. Most as sub probably tbf.

maybe we could award the winner this...
