Am not saying a decent striker wouldn’t help, of course it would. But the point stands - if none if our midfield create chances for Dkyes or for each other we won’t score many goals

But a decent striker isn’t there to just convert chances, he’s part of the team supposed to create them. If Donkey doesn’t score there is very little contribution ever likely to lead to someone else scoring. we rarely create chances to miss. Agree, but it’s not his job to just wait for chances and do fuck all else. |

I reckon if Dykes hadn't been away with Scotland and MC had been with him these last two weeks - and based on what he's seen of him the two games prior - I don't think he'd have played him today. Moving forward I can see him giving him possibly one more game, but fairly sure he'll drop him beyond that. I say drop him now,should of been ages ago. Pitifull the club has allowed this to happen. New manager always gives his squad a clean slate. But yes, after three games, honestly can't see him sticking with him much longer. And yes, our alternatives are extremely limited, but he has to try something else at least until the Jan window. |

I hope we’re doing our homework in the back ground for a forward and as soon as Jan first comes it’s completed no time to waste

none of our midfield create chances for Dkyes Yeah because they no longer trust him. Don't blame them either. |

We won’t win games with that strike force. We need to sort it out it’s an absolute disgrace Sell Dykes😂,Sell Willock😂 Get 2 strikers who can play together.. Marti,the club over to you. Think Martin’s got us competitive and keeps us in games but without goals we are up against it |

Dykes is a lost cause,more interested in Scotland than us. Was referring to Sinclair,coaches job to encourage,teach and make him the player he could be. |

I'd say they're more likely to trust Muscles than Dykes because this is only his first proper season and he's still developing. But either way it's a moot point as neither player are good enough to get the goals we need this season. All hinges on the Jan window now. |

Muscles no worse than anyone else today in fairness to him. But there were two balls went across six yard box where he was nowhere to be seen where a scorer is at least attacking the ball but it’s the norm now so I accept it, I have zero expectation of him.
Dykes would not have been their either for the record, zero expectation of him too.

Was referring to Sinclair,coaches job to encourage,teach and make him the player he could be. He’s 20 Bill. Like you, I’ve seen our best youngsters and he’s way short. He needs to make some serious strides and, as has been said, he may be better suited to a different role. Koli might be the one they should be looking to bring on. |

Remind me how old was Ferdinand before he burst on the scene against Chelsea. Might not be as good but might improve with good coaching. |
