Think you're looking too hard for negatives there. A prime Rhodes would absolutely be part of the full squad right now.

He would have been in a squad by now if he had. Sam Gallagher switched to England when he was younger. Again, he'd have been in a squad by now if he was interested. Jordan Rhodes has been pretty average for 5 or 6 years now and isnt the same striker he was. He'll also be 33 next time we play a meaningful game. Ship has sailed on him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Big Daddy Dykes with QPR's two goals last night, including a late penalty (scored 3/3 since his miss for us). Given how streaky he is, hopefully this sparks a wee run for him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully that sets him off on a run as you say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theroadlesstravelled Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 We might as well go with Scottish based players like Shankland if we’re dredging English League One for talent. It the same standard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donathan Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 It’s a shame that Ross Stewart is injured because the Turkey game would be a good opportunity for him. He’s the one striker we have that I think has the talent to force his way into the conversation with Dykes and Adams for a starting spot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caley Shaun Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Last night has reiterated to me that this is a big problem because, apart from Lyndon Dykes and Che Adams, we are really short on competent Strikers that can get goals etc. I think it's harsh to criticise Jacob Brown when he's had hardly any game time but tbh he didn't show anything last night. God knows where we can turn to because we've tried: Oli Burke, Oli McBurnie, Lawrence Shankland etc who are not any better so apart from trying to convince players like Sam Gallagher and Karlan Grant to choose us (which is a no no imho) we are probably relying on youngsters stepping up to the plate, again, something that hasn't happened of late, even Hornby at Aberdeen wasn't really a roaring success! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Last I read, Nisbet seems to be pretty close to a return. I'd completely forgotten about him until recently, but he might be able to force his way into the March squad depending on how he responds to such a long spell out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't say I've seen anything to suggest the two underlined are markedly better than the others you list. Neither will make a substantial difference to our forward talent. Neither is anywhere near the level of Adams who is our only top level striker. To be perfectly honest he is a slightly below average Premier League forward and even then looks night and day compared to the rest of the list, including (and I love the guy) Dykes. We have to hope that one of our youth players is the real deal and can break through to be a top level forward in the Prem or another top 5 league. Until then we will keep using McGinn as a kind of second striker I would think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie Of The Month Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Ross Stewart and Kevin Nisbet should be back from injury after the break and in contention for 3rd choice striker. Stewart looked good at Championship level prior to his injury and if he continues that form he's out of contract in the summer so could either get a decent move or worst case scenario he signs a new deal with Sunderland and plays week in week out in the Championship. When we only play 1 of them most of the time anyway I'm not really sure it's much of a concern. Conway I thought looked fine at u21 level last night but nowhere near ready for the first team and then behind him we're probably looking at Rory Wilson at Aston Villa. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
