Not only that but Sam Long seemed to improve tye whole attacking part of his game. Its the top third where Sykes really needs to Improve to be a very good player.Mark should ask what Sam Long did last summer! Sam turned up for this season, looking like he had put on half a stone of muscle! If Sykes wasn’t so lightweight, he would be one hell of a player! I really rate him, but he does lack the physicality that will take him to the next level.
Midfield goals in general has been an issue all season 3 goals between Brannagan 1 Gorrin 1 McGaune 0 Sykes 0 Kelly 0 Hanson 0 Forde 1 (Henry always gets us goals no matter where he plays but even his numbers haven’t hit double figures this year being 7) luckily our defence has bagged a lot this season close to 20 which has been a excellent but that’s an area where we expect to score McGuane Brannagan Sykes need to provide that next season as all 3 should have the capability to score more than they do imoNice player skilful player but not strong enough .It's a big summer for him got to come back stronger and start scoring the position he plays you've got to get 6+ goals a year.
I don't think the body needs to improve as much as the head. Needs to make better decisions, as much as fans love a player that runs around a lot - he needs to learn to focus it more, and also think he needs to stop worrying about where other players should pass the ball - I don't think Brannagan needs pointing where to play the ball every time, again focus.Mark should ask what Sam Long did last summer!

I think the lack of one of these has been a fundamental problem..Midfield goals in general has been an issue all season 3 goals between Brannagan 1 Gorrin 1 McGaune 0 Sykes 0 Kelly 0 Hanson 0 Forde 1 (Henry always gets us goals no matter where he plays but even his numbers haven’t hit double figures this year being 7) luckily our defence has bagged a lot this season close to 20 which has been a excellent but that’s an area where we expect to score McGuane Brannagan Sykes need to provide that next season as all 3 should have the capability to score more than they do imo
Would be the most galling 'ex player comes back and scores against us' of all, given his Werner-esque inability to do so for us.Ipswich linked with Sykes according to the Sun on Sunday (via Alan Nixon).
No idea how much he's worth. One year left on contract (?). £300k plus sell on?

Yes as I said silly moneyHe probably would if Robbo gets the money to spend on bringing in a replacement.
Define silly money BazYes as I said silly money
Clare ( already an OUFC player)?He probably would if Robbo gets the money to spend on bringing in a replacement.
Clare ( already an OUFC player)?
thats the fella .... if Sykes is flogged off , Clare may still be hereThe same Clare that Robbo kept playing at RB? I would be surprised if he is still here at the start of the season.
