Wyke Yesterday

[Abu Dhabi Red and White]

Had a decent game when he came on - put himself about and looked more mobile.

Agree. Didn't want to see him on the pitch at all but proved me wrong, held the ball up really well.

 

[iansun]

The new bairn maybe have him that incentive

 

[KNGHTHOOD]

As we speak, Grigg is watching a re-run of Wyke's substitution performance so HE knows what to do when he comes on in future.

 

[Gideon Gungeon]

can see him attaining a big vicesque cult status at this rate mate, many mare performances like that there. put hisel about

He's everything that Grigg isn't. Strong, an outball, hardworking, a nuisance, even a goal threat at times. He's probably not even fully fit yet, and he's pretty slow in general, but he still somehow looks more mobile than Grigg. I don't know what is the matter with Grigg, he looks really lethargic and slow.

 

[TopCat]

Thought Wyke looked pretty trim in pre-season as if he's lost a few pounds - that can only help him get a bit more mobile and effective

Can Grigg run at all or even put in a hard tackle? Ok loose confidence, but no excuse not to get stuck in ffs. He seems too be a wimp. Yesterday, came on and strolled around.

 

[Mr.Thunders]

Trying to get the best out of him in a 4-2-3-1 formation is the challenge imo.

Liked what he did when he came on but cant see him hitting double figures this season

 

[tunstallhill]

He did yesterday exactly what I thought he was signed for initially, but didn't do much of last season. Need him to play like that as standard and he will get goals and cause havoc for opposition defences resulting in more goals for mcgeady and them lot. Also gives the oppositio defence something to think about even when we are under the cosh. Just want we need from him. Bravo charlie lad

 

[samaistonsrightfoot]

If McNulty is injured I'd play him over Grigg but when McNulty is fit it's a case of what Ross prefers. A striker that works and puts himself about and rarely looks like scoring, or a striker that works hard, is tenacious and looks more likely to score.

Or a bloke who has no interest in any of the above.

 

[Old Timer]

He also did well down at Accrington when he came on. A totally different to the player we had for most of last season

 

[dundeemackem]

Did really well yesterday. Just a shame the referee blew up against him every time he was near the ball.

 

[Wardley Makem]

All different players. Grigg is a 10 yard poacher. Wyke is an outball and target man. McNulty plays on the shoulder and closes players down.

I hate all the Grigg bashing. Once we hit our stride he will bang them in.

This hope is why he hasn't received more criticism.

Was excellent, gave us an outball, was nice to see the ball stick up front for a change, also enjoyed him bullying their Centre halves, they didn’t want to know at the end

I've been thinking and hoping this since we signed him. The problem is, his performances have gotten worse the longer he's been here; he has scored 1 goal in his last 14 games (not even including pre-season), and he doesn't look fit or interested. He desperately needs a goal, but I don't think that would magically solve the problems either. Everything looks wrong.

Doesnt explain why he doesnt put the effort in to work tackle close down etc. He cannot just sit on his arse in the box and do nowt.

Grigg needs to shift about a clem. Reminds me of a tubbier Luke Shaw.

Both McGeady and Maguire got a lift when he came on. There was a link between the AM and the CF for a change. I like McNulty but the lone striker needs to be able to hold the ball up and not get bullied. Wyke for me has played his way into the 1st 11.

I rarely bash our players but Grigg doesn’t even deserve a place on the bench for me. He hasn’t performed for a long while.
