    If you stay up I wouldn't be surprised if Wyke returns on a possible loan deal. Missed another 2 sitters yesterday after coming on as a substitute.

    I've tried to be as optimistic as possible about him but I'm not exagerating when I say he could be the worst striker I've seen in a Sunderland kit.

    His confidence is completely shattered.

    I'm guessing he was finishing these chances 9 times out of 10 last season (1:00 onwards).

    Almost all his goals were headers.

    I can't remember the stat banded around at the time, but yeah, just headers more or less.

    I remember watching last night on quest and seeing him miss those sitters, and I just thought what on earth. Alot of his goals were, as said, headers, but he would of scored at Least one of them at city! I don't think he will be coming back on loan, he is good enough for a mid table team, maybe someone like a Fleetwood

    He has a dry spell towards the end of his tenure here but... when he first signed he looked Championship quality at times ... I remember I was in Tenerife and he scored a Garrick against Bristol rovers live on Sky

    Guy was on fire ...... you have will grigg now. I doubt wyke will come back here even on loan :(

    Only if you're judging them on their hold up play and how many headers they win, which is how our fans seem to judge strikers strangely.

    And I bet you’ve seen some bad strikers in your time?

    He’s getting in the right positions at least. Had no pre season, got a bad injury and is playing with an expectancy now with a decent price he came to you for.

    He was never a world beater at city. But was good in the box and linked up well at times. However under McCall we played good football and it wasn’t lumped up to him too much.

    Let’s face it, going forward he’s exactly what we’re missing at the moment.

    Not a chance is hell he will be coming back here though.

    I don't think he's won a header yet. Whether that be from a goalkeeper long ball or a cross into the box. While typing I've realised he missed an open goal with a header the other week.

    Those players played all of their games or most of their games in the Premier League. What an awful way to start my Monday morning by being reminded of those people though.

    Similar to those, Danny Graham is probably one of the worst I've seen for us in the Premier League despite his work rate and effort, however when se signed for Blackburn in L1 he was fantastic. He is doing alright in the Championship too.

    In my opinion, Wyke tops it, purely due to the level of football we're at in comparison to many other poor strikers I've seen play for us.

    His confidence looks shot to bits judging by the games i’ve watched of your lot. To look at Wyke you’d think that he’d be the strong hold up target man but thats not really his game. He can hold the ball up well but he won’t physically dominate a centre back say like a John Marquis or a Tom Eaves. He ain’t blessed with pace either so he’ll struggle to run the channels for you. He was a decent player for us but he is what he is, a really nice lad but not much better than most of the other strikers in league 1.
    Infact there are quite a few better, you’d have been better off with Keiffer Moore or John Marquis, both have the ability to play at Championship level, in my opinion Charlie Wyke does not.
