Best game for the club by a long way tonight. May not be a natural goalscorer but certainly a good foil for Austin. He gave his all tonight. Was unbeatable in the air, harried their defence all night and left nothing in the tank. Well done lad. |  |

New Manager has a lot of work to do with Dykes if that's possible, really don't like to knock our players but I don't rate Dykes at all--hopefully I'm wrong but I somehow doubt It. |
We can't start the season with Dykes as the main striker. He really isn't Championship level . |  | | |

What an awful game of football that was
The Ukraine keeper wouldn’t get into an under nines team he was terrible
Shout out to Grant Hanley who was so slow he couldn’t even kick the Ukraine attacker who broke from him
And a special shout to the ref who looked liked an 1980s Wall Street trader |  |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

Dykes had his calf studded early in the game, maybe that's why he went off. |
It was a bad one and part of me went after that, blimey see you at Christmas. |  |

I try to avoid Dykes threads as I got so much stick around the Xmas before Charlie arrived, but he remains awful in the main. A couple of good games here and there simply not enough.
Rubbish first touch, rubbish with the ball at his feet. Yes, he runs a lot, can win flick ons and can play good, instinctive first time balls, but his poor outshines his good. Really hoping he finds his motivation and mojo this season, but I can't see it. |  |

No surprise with such insightful analysis you think De Wijs is the best of our Centre Halves! | | | |

True, but I won't rake over old accusations that may be or may not be true that are unrelated to any off the field activities he may or may not have been involved in.
And the defence looked more organised and less leaky with De Wijs in the team since he joined. He may not individually be the "best" (not sure how you'd judge that to be fair), but he appears to have the best influence as a CB.
But, thanks for your input - really useful, ta!  | |

MB will be judged almost right away by what he does with our strikers and who are our wing backs are going to be.
Do we actually have three or four strikers who can play at this level? Or will he try some sort of voodoo false nine deal with Amos or someone else?
It'll be very interesting to see who thrives and who wilts under his coaching, especially before the November break. | | | |

I wonder if we’ll see Armstrong as part of a new front 2 with Dykes. He’s raw but he has real pace. | |

Dykes is a bit frustrating because at the end of the season before last he scored 6 goals and did 4 assists in 8 games. So he clearly can do it, but just doesn't for the majority of the time. [Post edited 2 Jun 2022 7:38]

Dykes has gone down the Gladwin route with his tats, i fear.
They should be based on a meritocracy.
When I was a young punk, we would sneer at the 'weekenders' with all the studs in their jackets. Studs were to be earned through doing punk things, the more you had the more punk you were. Not just bought off a catalogue heap.
So with footballers and tats. Lyndon, young man, go get some laser surgery, and we'll work out a rewards system for you. A 15 goal sesson? Yep, you can get one no bigger then 4 square inches. Playing 10 consecutive games? Down the parlour for a bit of colouring? Important world cup goal for Scotland? See you in 4 years, but it sems doubtful, to be honest. | | | |

Patrick Agyemang did something like that. Seriously though if Dykes is still, classified as a raw, young striker with a possible confidence/attitude problem then this Michael Beale is probably our best hope of making something of him.. | | | |

The tat thing doesn't make him a good or bad player. Look at Sonny Bradley. Smashes it for Luton every week. I have tattoos on my right arm that are related to family and pets and I'd have more on that arm if I could afford them, but... I do think the Lyndon's tats on his neck make him stand out in terms of being singled out. If you have very visible tattoos then you almost invite pressure and comments with some fans. If his wife and kids are happy with them then it's his own business. I do think he'll regret the neck ones when he's older though. Doesn't look great on an older man. On the other hand I don't care if he has his face tattooed if he scores 20 a season. | |

I like Dykes but would do us a favour imo if one of the big 2 in Scotland made a move for him this summer and we used the money to strengthen |  | | |

This for me.
He can do it and when he does, he’s a bloody handful. But therein lies the conundrum with him: woefully inconsistent. If it’s confidence you can work on that; if it’s injuries, well that’s an issue, but if it’s a mentality thing based on whether he can be bothered on the day, then that’s the other side of the door for me.
Frustrating really. |  |

Yes, classic, wait until Dykes is off then fire in a bunch of crosses at the end of the game. He isnt Harry Kane but if we get decent quality service into him quickly he will score goals he has shown that
get to the edge of the area and fanny around for 30 seconds or so so the defence can get completely set and he wont |  | | |

Don’t understand the dislike of Dykes. Why do we always key our own car?
Was only in poor form when the team was. We signed him knowing he needed work, and he improved. Not a goal scorer but despite that finished second top scorer despite a fairly long injury stint.
Exactly the sort of signings we need to make. We can debate all day long if he was a success or not but in the era of Ollie Watkins etc we have to make do because Championship top scorers go for £30m nowadays.
Saying that, I agree with Dave about cashing him in for one of the Old Firm. Would miss Willock more but remember Dykes scored more than him with the same amount of minutes. |  | | |

Dykes is inconsistent and lacking in certain skills. Versus Ukraine, he did not get much service, except for long hopeful balls that he sometimes flicked on. As for crosses, it is not just the provider of the cross that matters. It is also the positioning of the striker and his ability to recognise what the provider's options are. For all his faults, Charlie Austin could do that. If we keep Lyndon, then I hope that he can be coached so as to make himself more effective. | | | |

If selling Dykes meant keeping Willco et al, absolutely do it. However, as Clive has repeatedly said, £5m plus doesn't get you much in the striker supermarket. How much do we think we'd get for Dykes if one of the old firm were interested? |  | | |

Judging by last night's "performance" I'd say about two cases of Irn Bru. |  |
