Christ he was bad. Equally, I really thought Rushworth in goal for them was bad. I realise he’s supposed to be highly rated but he was dithering, handling was poor and didn’t fill me with any confidence. Really surprised me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have watched multiple highlights and the goals today. What a great win and what a team we have. Sykes played like a man possessed. Definitely MOM for me. The match must have been a joy to watch for those that travelled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Red Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 For me Pearson’s best signing to date, a quality player. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s tons of wingers / forwards around who have decent technique, speed etc but often they end up down blind alleys, over hitting crosses or blazing shots over. Sykes more often than not finds a team mate, gets a shot on target or draws a foul. He’s a bit of a diamond isn’t he? The other thing I noticed having missed some of the 2nd half (I was at work) was how did we not get a penalty for that blatant foul in the 2nd half?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2015 Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 He reminded me of Scott Murray yesterday. Best i'd ever seen him play, he was fantastic and has been a really good free signing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness Sykes’s final ball isn’t always what it could be either. Yesterday he was very good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 Should play every week. He can be frustrating at times as he has undoubted quality but his final ball lets him down at times. His cross for Bell yesterday was sublime. Turned into some really good business and amazed he’s not made the ROI squad. Which selfishly I’m pretty happy about. Yesterday was a really positive performance by all and was much needed to keep morale in the right direction. Also I see Jason “ Kilkenny” Knight had another good game. Fast becoming one of most influential players. Williams is also looking very good now he’s fully fit. Good signs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 Was a penalty on Sykes for sure I thought. Should definitely start whenever fit. He has that little flurry in January of goals and assists and should definitely be aiming at several, between 5-10 maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
