BryanBlessed Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Dykes comes on in the 86th minute. If he's not getting much game time, probably Adams will be back as our number 9. Dykes had it nailed down for a while.    Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond Scot Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Even though Brighton got beaten today, Gilmour was unbelieveable. Everything goes through him now and some of his passing was absolute elite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s getting plenty game time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mccaughey85 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Hardies goal is thing of beauty. Really starting to think this guy could jump up a level. He scores and assists plenty and has been excellent for an average championship side. Must be a strong contender for our 4th striker spot.

I suppose Dykes has more pace though I don't think he's super fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there is any danger of Dykes being excluded from the Euros squad, but even Clarke might be thinking he should be behind Shankland in the pecking order. If QPR do get relegated, and Dykes goes with them, it'll be hard to justify his inclusion beyond this summer. Adams is having a purple patch, but that always seems to be the case with him. It never lasts. Shankland is the consistent finisher and really deserves some starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartan blood Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 25 goals for Shankland. Including his Scotland goal. He might already be on 30 if he hadn't missed a handful of penalties. Hypothetically, It'll be pretty hard for Clarke to justify playing a relegated striker with half a dozen goals to his name (Dykes) ahead of a 30 goal striker in the prime of his life (Shankland). We've been crying out for a prolific striker for years. Well we have one, let's not waste it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It never lasts. Shankland is the consistent finisher and really deserves some starts. I agree. If QPR go down, I wouldn't imagine any club would come in for Dykes as he hardly stands out in that team and we just can't rely on Adams to take his chances. Clarke says the strikers are there to help the midfield score goals but I don't think that was the case until the last campaign, so, I think Dykes was originally brought in to score goals as, let's face it, we didn't have many options in that position. I fully expect him to make the squad but he could then be phased out like SOD was. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if it will be us or a club to inevitable try that out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
