ChrisBW Posted August 25, 2023 Report Share Posted August 25, 2023 In recent years have we made a better signing in terms of his price and goals/assists ratio? Scores valuable goals, gets into great positions and can cross and assist. He seems to have this habit of getting into great positions. We have made some terrible signings in recent years but he is very much a success in my view. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsince1994 Posted August 25, 2023 Report Share Posted August 25, 2023 Big fan of Sykes. Not a particularly refined player , knocked a couple straight out of play, but is dynamic and always looking to get forwards. Really valuable asset to have. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted August 25, 2023 Report Share Posted August 25, 2023 Kasey Palmer £3.5m, a rumoured £20k a week, 28 starts, 4 goals & 5 assists. Sykes cost nothing, probably on about £7k a week, 31 starts, 5 goals & 3 assists. Bit of a difference in value for money, eh? 13 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Posted August 25, 2023 Report Share Posted August 25, 2023 Good player who should be back in the starting 11. Final product frustrating at time but gets us up the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely pulled up and waved to the bench, don't normally see that with cramp. Could be a minor one, let's hope so as agree with the theme of this thread he has been an excellent signing in terms of value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted August 25, 2023 Report Share Posted August 25, 2023 Put a good shift in today, gave Greaves an uncomfortable night. Great ball for Wells’s goal, another good cross for a Wells volley, but for balance, if he’s braver he slots in Bell’s shot, controlled by Wells for him, and a couple / few crosses where he hasn’t picked anyone. But I’m happy with that level. Well played #psychokiller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozo Posted August 25, 2023 Report Share Posted August 25, 2023 I don't think Sykes was prime Sykes tonight but a couple of times got tye better of the defender and put delicious crosses in. I'm a big fan though and would play him there every week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfcnick Posted August 25, 2023 Report Share Posted August 25, 2023 Sykes has an Irish feistiness to him and that's a good thing. He affects the game and adds a goal threat too. Naismith at centre back is like having an extra creative midfielder in the side. Yes, he might make fans' hearts skip a beat every now and then but he has confidence and ability and it's not a coincidence we play more cohesively when he is in the side. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see him ever stepping up another level, but I think for the likely low cost of having him as a player here he is good value. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re from Belfast & you then opt for the Republic you definitely have some bollocks.. First 15 Naismith played some outrageous passes, absolutely set the tone for our performance, good to see. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazred Posted August 25, 2023 Report Share Posted August 25, 2023 He had to work hard tonight for that one killer chance and he executed it perfectly. Not an easy ball by any means. He's adapted pretty much instantly to Champ football and looks capable of kicking on. He's got a good skill set. Excellent value of a signing.
