Can I just clear something up here, I'm confused. Is the Lyndon Dykes that is being described in this thread the one who wears a blue and white hooped shirt with 9 on the back? [br I put money that Charlie would want to play with Dykes beside him rather than anyone else in the QPR squad. I’d also put money on that a front two of Austin and Chair and against most teams in the championship you’ll struggle to get out your own half for large periods of the game. |

And also the cut back to Bright in the box. If I’m honest I fell asleep watching that yesterday it was so boring...other than yesterday I’ve watched every game and haven’t seen too much other than genuine effort..what have you seen in him Ginger Ninja to keep him in with Austin Definitely not his finishing, apart from penalties 🤣 but I feel that his hold up play is a lot better than people seem to make out, and he definitely provides more chances than the likes of Chair or Bright or Carroll imo. |

Funny isn't it, we cried out for a better defence last season and now that the defence is (marginally) better than it was, we have no bloody goalscorers. I’m not finding it funny !! 😂 Yeah fair play 🤣🤣 |

I’m certain Charlie won’t be slow in telling MW what needs to be said. I think you're right there Sparx, which in itself could make a big difference, not just for him but the other strikers too. He'll certainly be able to quickly assess from the training sessions what's working and what isn't.You both beat me to it, and imagine the lift CA could give us if he would sign a contract with us in the summer. Given he still have goals in him of course. |

We might be disappointed on Tuesday night when the master tactician starts with Charlie on the bench.

Charlie Charlie Charlie Charlie Charlie Charlie Charlie Austin Lyndon Lyndon Lyndon Lyndon Lyndon Lyndon Lyndon Liability..... You’re toxic mate, and you clearly know shit about football. Other than his bad miss today, Dykes played well against, I would assume decent defenders since they’re in the Premiership. Mr Toxic here, glad to meet you. seriously though, i admire your support of him. seen it all down the years. first we had the ji sun park fan club, telling us what a god he was every-time he played shyte. then, there was the hollowhead years, putting up with a person on the old board posting hollowhead is the next alf ramsey/ mourinho. then, weare kept up with his love of washingrot, even though the whole world could see how shit he was. but maybe weare had a crystal ball and foresaw what we now have today. if that's the case, he is correct. dykes is one of the most useless strikers that we have ever had. a striker who avarages 1 goal from open play in 21 games. that is absoulte rot. even bonne has 2 goals and look how crap he is. |

Well we’re half way through the season, let’s see how things go from here on in. Let’s hope Charlie can find the net regularly and the team regain a bit of confidence and momentum. I think a couple of good results and the weight gets lifted from the shoulders of the players and they can go on and have a good 2nd halve of the season. I think if that happens QPR will have the good foundations of a squad to build upon for next season, a squad that will have been through hard times where some of the fans didn’t think they were good enough, a squad that will have build a good team spirit through a bad run of results. |

I can’t remember Dykes creating a chance for anybody..he does not hold the ball up..his first touch is awful and does not win enough in the air..the only saving grace for me is he’s not hiding...unlike some I think it’s still too early to write him off completely as Manager is certainly not helping him with team selection. I think as a unit the team is looking good out of possession You don't invest in a lump like Dykes because he can press for twenty minutes. He's nowhere near even the standard big Smith was when Warburton was going through his big 9 denial phase and ditched him. The stats don't lie. Not to mention the fact that none of them high pressed beyond that 20m mark yesterday.
The point is what we need now above all is service. Having Chaz with Dykes beside him reduces tactical options. Playing Chair with him opens them up, he can take on a man and find space. I'd play BOS, TC and Willock behind because they are the only others who can reliably see a quick pass and open things up. If Dykes can get some confidence back then have him on the bench because Chaz wont last serial bouts of 90m.
The only argument I can see which has chaz & dykes on the same park is route one, and that aint MW's style.

I’m not sure what formation you have in mind but I don’t think service is the problem, it’s finishing. If QPR played the same formation yesterday with Austin in instead of Bonne, it could easily have been 1 or 2 nil at half-time. I think it’s probable that instead of wholesale personal changes/reshuffle and a formation change, it would be better to try tweaking the existing formation first. If that doesn’t work, fair enough, bigger changes are needed. Be interesting to see what he does on Tuesday. |

I get the impression he hasn’t ever been as happy anywhere like he was here. You can see it in his interviews. I would be stunned if we don’t offer him a contract. His family seem quite connected to the club too. I also get the impression this isn’t about money |

Charlie Austin will get you 18 to 25 goals a season which means you will be looking at top 8 to 10 in the league. This should be the main transfer the board/manager targets as you fit the rest around the goalscorer. |

Maybe they will have learnt a lesson from Wells/Hugill but remember Hugill was way out of our pay league and there were comments on here that letting Wells slip was no big deal as he was too expensive as well. Charlie may well fall into same category but, equally, can we afford to make same mistake again?
