Gordopolis Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Guy scores 2 for his club and we're clawing around for reasons to write him off? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordopolis Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 The Israel game was case in point 3 great opportunities to score 1 goal Still, he's a presence and who else are we going to play What about the Austria game? 1 chance 1 goal.Or the Faroes? 1 really awkward chance that he made from nothing, 1 goal?I agree he can be profligate, but 6 in 20 for Scotland is pretty decent by our standards (similar ratio to Dalglish, McCoist, Miller, McFadden) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velo army Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Aye using the "took three chances to score a goal" is the take of someone who doesn't watch a lot of football. Most strikers will miss a few before scoring. He's been going great guns for us of late and has been on scoring form recently for his club. I sense some trolling is afoot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree he can be profligate, but 6 in 20 for Scotland is pretty decent by our standards (similar ratio to Dalglish, McCoist, Miller, McFadden) I can’t remember exactly what game it was, but it was a recent match at Hampden, where Dykes brought a ball down and under his control when he had absolutely no right to do so. The ball was arrowed towards his head at pace and he managed to control it, bring it under his control and lay it off to a team mate, which allowed the full team to move up the pitch and take a better control of the game. I can even remember Dykes at Livingston in a game against Celtic, where he won every single aerial battle against Julienne, to the point where Julienne was forced to apologise to Celtic fans on Twitter because he had been absolutely ragdolled by Dykes for the full game. I’m sure Livingston won as well and Dykes was involved in at least one of the goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To play Devil's advocate however, I am wondering why Burnley, Norwich et al, are not scrambling to buy him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Joe Jordan managed to get relegated with AC Milan and ended up with a worse goals per game ratio in Serie A than teenage full-back Aaron Hickey. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Yes, it is a real black mark against Lyndon Dykes that he didn't score at any of the World Cups that took place several years before he made his international debut. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
