A word for Dykes while I'm here who I thought was excellent last night and against Sunderland. He's really starting to perform consistently. We need him to pick up an "injury" before the next international break.

Pretty sure he's suspended for one of their games

And looks like he's nursing an injury now, hopefully a precaution and nothing serious

There is a lot of criticism on here around Warburtons decision making, espescially substitutions, but it has to be remembered that he is trying to nurse this pretty thin squad through a pretty horrendous fixture list. It should be remembered that he and his know the conditioning levels of the players far more than we can see. So when he takes Chair off rather than Willock it is probably with no relevance to how they are playing but more safeguarding their long term fitness.
He usually gets things more right than wrong so I think we should back him rather than be critical which is all too easy from the comfort of your sofa.
I wonder how much we have left in the kitty for signings in the window.

Fair point, but he's ****ing obsessed with the fitness stats.

Down to 8th after today's games, very close from 24-18 points...

I thought Kakay was great against Sunderland. I'd worry taking Bonne away from somewhere where he is on fire to just play him from the bench might be short termism.

I thought Kakay was poor against Sunderland. Very fit, hard working and keen, but just not very good.

Dykes is doing well.
He'll never be a top striker imo, with a poor first touch.
Very good in the air though and works his socks off.
Bit of a Mackie type player, although not the same position.
I like him though and he's certainly our number one choice to start up front.
Austin, for all his fitness issues is in a different league when it comes to finishing.

I thought quite a lot of our better chances came from Kakay - the cross for Austin's volley, the lay back to Chair and the early cross that fell for Barbet's effort from the edge of the box. Agree re hard working. I do fear he ultimately isn't good enough (at least not as a starter) but thought he was solid on Tuesday.

Opinions innit?

Bizarre to compare Dykes to Mackie.

Dykes is still learning the game, but is improving rapidly and could wind up as good as Austin, if not better.
