Credit where it’s due - I thought he had an excellent game today.  |  |

For the first goal, the guy who won the header ran between Field and Laird. For the second goal (which I still can't believe Dieng's effort to get back), the lack of challenge from Iroegbunam is terrible. |
I think if Richards gets some more games, Tim might be warming the bench when JoJo is back. Underwhelming loan for me so far. |  | | |

For me Dykes reminds me a lot of Zamora. He is a similar type of player. Works really hard but isn't a natural goalscorer/predator. Zamora was a great foil for Austin but on his own was often isolated up front when Austin was injured, if anyone remembers that? Armstrong could come good very soon in terms of starting to score but if we had a natural goalscorer alongside Dykes then we would have a great front two. He is mostly unproven but I wonder if we will get Archer from Villa in January? As I say, not proven but touted as a natural finisher. |  |

I think that’s now 25 away games since Dykes scored which is a horrible stat. 25!!!!!! By stark contrast Viktor Gyökeres was the b ollox today…. | |

No slight on Dykes but imo if we had a 2022 version of Billy Whitehurst, Ray Hankin, David Cross, Mick Harford, Peter Withe or even a poxy Lee Chapman, this team would be top 6 End of season. No doubt.
We need a knuckle duster up front. asap. |  |

Wow 😲 That is a shameful stat, yet the club seem unwilling to do anything about it. Porous defence and no attacking threat...always ends badly. | | | |

I thought Dykes was fine today, worked hard but had little to no support, service to him was non existent, he was the least of our problems |  | | |

Thought Dykes was our best player, and I'm his biggest critic. Worked hard and won every ball he could. | | | |

So what do you suggest they do? The owners write a cheque every month of about £1.5m a month to balance the books. The upkeep of our aging stadium is a drain on finances.
Without a significant player sale for a couple of seasons Clive has spoken time and again that the finances for the playing staff budget are tighter than a gnat's waistcoat. Dykes himself only came here when there was a bit of wiggle room in the budget after the Eze sale. |  |

Dykes has scored 6 goals this season and he’s probably on course for 12-15 goals if he stays fit. The top scorers in the league are on 9 goals so he’s not far behind.
Personally I don’t think Dykes is the problem. He has 6 goals in the last 9 games. The issue is that goals from Chair, Willock and our midfielders have completely dried up over the past few weeks. |  | | |

They have to fork out that money because of their previous incompetence including the FFP debacle which happened under their watch. When they came in we’d just been promoted to the Prem League…. We are where we are today because of the owners. It’s as simple as that. MB has performed miracles with this squad - we’ve gone from a strike-force of Dykes, Chazza and Gray to Dykes, Bonne and Armstrong. Does anybody truly believe those three are going to score the goals to get us promoted? Really? Combine that with the fact we have no money due to FFP so the only players we pick up are old and/or habitual sick notes….what chance has MB really got? I bet he wishes he took the Wolves job now…. | |

Ah yes. He was the striker for Germany back then. I'd completely forgotten. |  | | |

I’ll take the draw but we looked poor tonight and toothless again…. LD was woeful. | |

Had goal disallowed in the England semi-final and was a source of fun on Fantasy Football League |  | | |

Didn't get too much service but he was very poor, touched it 4 times in the first 30 minutes or so........NC will see that it is a major issue. | | | |

It's the same old conversation we've had before. Is Dykes useless or is there a problem with the service to him? I tend to be in the latter camp but I probably give him more leeway than others.
He's a limited striker and won't make many goals for himself. However, play to his strengths, and he will find the back of the net more often. Opportunities don't come often for him given the reliance we put on our two no 10s.
I hope Critchley can bring a balance to our approach play that supplies all our forwards with goal scoring chances. | | | |

I know we have been away but Laird and Paal have hardly got out of our own half in the last two games. If we can get these two going on runs then it really helps us to get behind teams out wide where we can get 2 or 3 players meaningfully attacking the ball in the area and with the possibility of getting on the end of clear cut chances right in front of goal.

Well put.
I wonder if playing two out-and-our strikers up top might be an option. Of course, seeing as we’re struggling to find one from the current options in our locker, finding a second striker might be a challenge well beyond us.
The chubby chap at Ibrox could do us a fave and bring him back over the wall for anything we can get. |  |

We are a much better team with Dykes on the pitch.
We've seen with Bonne and Roberts what 1.5m to 4m buys and it's not as good as Dykes.
Dykes was isolated yesterday as with no real penetration from Full-Backs and no Chair we struggled to control the ball in the final third.
Very average game from Dykes but I'd be surprised to see Roberts put that near post diving header in and risk a likely kick in the head to get a goal for our team. | | | |

I think you’re right.
There’s a certain way to play with Dykes, and that’s feeding him. After that he can run around a bit and try to make a nuisance of himself. I doubt many centre halves go to bed at night in the foetal position clutching their fave teddy bear worrying about facing him the next day.
Injuries aside, to be honest I thought we were getting more Duncan Ferguson than Sarah Ferguson. In many respects I wish we had her up front as she’s a better bet for a toe-poke than Lyndon. | |

Corners were woeful last night, first man continually hit which doesnt help, but he had a free header on a plate and missed. |  |

Dykes was up against a slight 5'10 out-of-position Perry Ng yesterday. If ever a game called for putting it the mixer it was this one. We were about an inch taller across the board at every corner. Really should have at least tried to take advantage of that. |  | | |
