Thats 2 games against us, that i've been very impressed with livingston striker lyndon dykes. As well as being big, powerful and strong, he has a turn of pace, so what's not to like here fellow bears. Like many fellow bears on here, i've always said we do need another striker, in the event of morelos or defoe getting injured. Also if we can sign a different type of striker, it would open up other options to us, during games. We have seen big strong target men types of strikers mentioned on here many times, like sam cosgrove of aberdeen, eamon brophy kilmarnock, ikpeazu hearts etc. But i reckon to what i've seen so far big dykes could yet be the better of any of them i mentioned. I actually agree with mccoist that we should keep an eye on dykes, especially as he would do a good job within the scottish game.
Thoughts guys?

I've said it till I am blue in the face (spot the joke) . We need a big bustling, bullying forward as part of our armoury. In my opinion that would be the last part of the jigsaw. ONWARDS AND UPWARDS THE FAMOUS.

Every single one of those players mentioned, including Dykes, is a total donkey mate. Target men also struggle to play without a strike partner as they aren’t mobile enough and don’t see us playing two up top any time soon.

We have a bullying, bustling type. His name is Alfredo Morelos.

We already have stewart as a 3rd striker. don't need anymore below average players coming through the door.

I might be wrong but is Brophy not a midget?

Dykes looks a decent player and he made Goldson and Helander look pretty ordinary.

I’d take Dykes in a minute he’s strong, bit of speed, his touch is god and we need another striker Defoe is getting on a bit if anything happened to Morelos or Defoe we’re left with one not what a club of our size should be happy with.

Dykes gave our CB’s a rougher time but I don’t think that’s a measure of a good striker! 13 goals in over 100 games for Queen of The South? No thanks.

Yes, like Shankland, Hardie, etc.

My thoughts blue 89. The swagman, not mobile enough, did u not see dykes turn of pace over both games he's definitely mobile enough. Good enough is another matter, however look at the amount of crosses tav and barisic put in the box, a big target msn in certain games would get s few for us.

I agree but maybe it says more about our centre backs than Dykes.

Agree DEEB. Goldson and Helander are pretty ordinary!
Katic first choice for me.

Folk wanting us to sign him are the same folk who thought Louis Moult was the next Zlatan. We’ve had enough of mediocre players, we’re still trying to get more out the door. We don’t need someone with a strike rate of worse than 1 in 9 if those stats above are true.

Dykes has scored 22 goals in 122 games since 2016. At Q. O. S and Livingston. Think we have to look at a better standard of player than that.
