Yep, Adams from a Dykes assist. He had also hit the post with a header and been pulled down when one on one with the keeper leading to a red card so an eventful first half for him. [Post edited 6 Jun 2021 18:01]

Thank you, just looked it up and you are correct. The pundit who informed me of Dykes achievement, Mrs Boston, has not accepted any blame regarding misinformation, rather a flippant 'so' type reaction to my attempt at correction. | |

Dykes had one in the net in second half but disallowed and he should have had one but headed 2 opportunities just wide, played well overall. playing in a team with both Tierney and Robertson pumping in crosses cant do him any harm |  | | |

At least she's trying. Mine would assume that we're having a conversation about LGBTQ+. |  | | |

Normally enjoy watching the Scots get beaten but, such is my detachment these days from the upper echelon of football, I’ll be quietly willing them on when Dykes is out there. |  | | |

Played well in both the friendlies, certainly should have scored twice with headers v Luxembourg albeit unlucky with the one off the post as it was difficult.
Purely from a Scottish angle his partnership with Adams is more interesting as its going away from the qualifying set up we used having either Christie or Fraser coming from deep to support him, Adams being there is more like when he was playing with Charlie as a conventional 2 up front.
Both Adams and Dykes are grafters so not like Scotland are losing defensive cover and so far they've been good but there's still some improvement in their joint play to come.
I think Clarke will play both against Czechs, as imo that's our must win game, with the probability that Dykes starts v England and Christie replacing Adams. Fraser not ready for 90 mins I'd imagine so impact sub for him.
Lyndon has become a huge part of set piece defence so I think he'll start every game and get replaced as the game takes shape or result demands?
The performance against Netherlands and confidence in the Luxembourg game mean we should approach Czechs with a winning attitude, excited by Dykes and Adams as they give us an attacking edge we haven't had since the 90s really, I think there could be a game they play together really well and Dykes will be noticed then but importantly it may highlight his need for a partner and the liklihood is that the clubs interested in him might not be able to accommodate that formation?
In terms of playing England, if we lose or draw with Czechs, then I hope we do play both against them and see how Lyndon copes, Adams has pace and experience against these players but Dykes needs to keep calm and not try being over physical as it will probably back fire on him, be strong in possession and he'll draw fouls but try being the hard man and I could see that playing into England hands.

Unfortunately no one has been to games since he's started so don't get the talk in the ground about him but among those I speak to in Orkney he's well regarded and definitely a starter in every game.
Lack of goals isn't an issue but that would be only draw back if the team stop scoring.
Importantly he isn't aligned to either of the Old Firm as that raises its head as soon as someone loses a bit of form so his popularity will sustain a dip in performance.
Also now with Adams we won't have to play him every single minute so if there is a dip he can be rested, before the only viable straight swap was Ollie McBurnie and he isn't very popular. Crap and a Glasgow Rangers fan!! | | | |
