I know I may as well wait for a gale and then go out and relieve myself but...
Dykes was not 2 million. There is no evidence he was 2 million. All the reports are undisclosed or UP TO 2 million, which means unless there are bonuses and add ons and top ups for scoring more penalties than goals from open play, he wasn't 2 million and never will be.
And in case I forgot to mention it, Dykes didn't cost 2 million.
Don't even get me started on Sandro. |  |

Yep, think you might also be howling at the moon because they'll be another one coming along saying exactly the same thing. Just like someone will come along at some point saying why did we sell CA so cheaply (shoot evil Les) despite it being patiently explained numerous times that we didn't have any other offers from a club he was prepared to go to and he was out of contract in the summer (and hadn't been previously willing to sign a new contract).
Anyhoo, I'm amazed we've got more column inches on our beleaguered striker than the tabs are writing about MM and PH. He's not had a brilliant start. He's under a lot of pressure to perform. He's had some rotten luck. He provides more to the team than just goals, although goals are very important. Strikers can have goal droughts and then still turn it around. Maybe leaving him alone when he hasn't even played might be the best thing. Uh, The End. [Post edited 9 Mar 2021 8:02]

Michael Mancienne and Peter Hucker?? |  | | |

Before piling in on Dykes it might be worth remembering his close family are in Australia and he can’t visit or even plan to see them at the moment. QPR is meant to be a family club, about time we showed a bit of care before hammering someone after half a season. He’s in bad form yes, needs some time out of the team, yes, but that’s all.

The sad thing is, it wasn’t until about 10 minutes after my post I worked out who Nix was referring to.

First post is spent launching a snidey dig at one of own players who is clearly struggling for form, but working hard.
Not sure what the point of that was really, no real insight, no obvious research and nothing to explain views or opinion. All in all, a bit of a poor effort at trolling.
I'd suggest cheese quotent is unlikely to be higher than dairy lea. |  |

I think 2T2B is is more the concept of hammering him on here than the actual concern that he will read it. Especially in the context of Clive's heart-rendering and thought-provoking piece on 'Being Social'. No one is disputing the fact that Dykes has under-performed, that he is in a rotten run of form and needs to improve his goal tally. But I think the key word there is under-performed, if he was maxed out then clearly he is not quite Championship level, but performances for Scotland indicate otherwise.
If if he HAS maxed out and he can't quite cut it at Championship level, hammering him is hardly going to improve him, especially for a first-time poster it seems necessarily negative. Dykes(rightly in my opinion) has been taken out of the firing line, as clearly his confidence is shot, so let's give him that breathing space and see what happens
Finally, I think worth pointing out that our three 'goalden' boys of last season, Wells, Hugill and Eze (albeit at ahigher level) haven't exactly set the goalscoring charts on fire this season. Not sure of the exact details but I'm guessing they are not too far into double figures, combined. Austin is the latest flavour of the month, and rightly so, but like Hugill and Wells, he will come and he will go. We need to look after our own
FOOTNOTE: Reading back on this, it looks like a criticism of you 2T2B, that is not the case. I was responding to your comment initially, but the rest of the post is just making a general observation | | | |

The old maxim
If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.
Nobody is blind to Dykes' struggles, including himself. But it is his first season at this level, in a new city, at a new club, a long way from family. Other than goals, which are disappointing, his all round game is definitely getting better.
Most of us, unlike OP, are prepared to cut him a bit of slack. |  |
