da betobet： Lyndon Dykes’ barren run for Queens Park Rangers continued on Wednesday night as Mark Warburton’s side could only muster up a point at struggling Preston.
da 888casino： The 25-year-old, who earns a reported £8k-per-week at Loftus Road, has failed to score in 15 straight league games, even during their impressive spell of form, which has seen massive victories against promotion-chasers Brentford, Bournemouth, Blackburn and Watford.
He was once again found wanting as the Rs could only fire two shots on target at Deepdale.
Dykes accounted for one of those two attempts but ranked as QPR’s worst player on the night, receiving an abysmal 6.4 rating as per SofaScore.
It means the former Livingston forward has struggled to surpass 6.9 in back-to-back Championship outings and thus, is starting to continuously let Warburton, and his relentless faith in him, down.
Todd Kane took plenty of flak on social media with supporters taking fire at the right wing-back for a subdued display – for example, one fan labelled him “absolute dross,” whilst another claimed he made himself look like a “fool.”
But it was Dykes who was arguably worse on the night.
No other visiting player attempted as many duels as the seven-time Scotland striker, but the £1.8m-rated lightweight could only win four of those battles (30%), the second-worst of any Rs starter, via SofaScore.
Kane was marginally better at 33%.
Dykes was also the only footballer to miss a big chance on the night, and that ultimately may have cost Warburton the chance to pick up another three points.
He even had the fewest touches of any outfield starter (21), even less than QPR goalkeeper Seny Dieng (45), only proving just how ineffective and anonymous he was throughout the match.
When Dykes did get the ball, though, he lost possession once every 2.6 touches, again proving to be a hindrance to QPR on the whole.
It’s no wonder he was the first player to be hooked off the pitch in the 67th minute when replaced by Chris Willock.
Given his diabolical run of matches without scoring, Dykes must be facing the axe ahead of the weekend, when QPR head to Birmingham City for another Championship clash.
AND in other news, should Warburton have played THIS starting XI at Deepdale?
