I find the constant Pyke bashing on here all a bit embarrassing so I'm pleased for him when he does well. Why is it embarrassing? His attempts in recent weeks to imitate a footballer were embarrassing. Embarrassing because supporters seem to take delight in giving the guy grief and pick on everything he does. |

Or they are passionate about the club and they take offence to a player not giving their all. As fans we can accept poor players but we will never accept lazy players and that is exactly what Pyke and Cosgrove have been the majority of the time this season. |

I’m not necessarily sure Pyke is lazy. He just looks like he’s never been coached & has never played or watched football before! |

Disagree with Pyke being lazy, he just isn't a League One footballer.
Drop into the non-league and it might kick start his career.

Says it all about Cosgrove when Pike gets on instead of him.
Never mind only another 2 weeks and we can be sent back.

Except playing wingback he hasn't played out of position. |

If Pyke is such a bad player, why does SC insist on playing him maybe he's good on the training pitch.Or just a favourite, don't agree with constantly bashing him.Its not his fault he gets picked to play?

I’ve actually heard his finishing in particular in training is the best out the lot of the forwards. Come matchday however… |

He certainly should be given preference over Cosgrove, whose attitude whilst being here quite frankly has been a disgrace. Cosgrove isn't even worth a place on the bench. |

If RP gets one or two goals his confidence could transform him. |

If RP gets one or two goals his confidence could transform him. you seem to have forgot already He plays Pyke often enough. I'd see no reason why Millar shouldn't come back. He knows the club, did well when he was here...and we are in desperate need of some players. Sign him up! lets see how much pyke plays now the shop window has shut pyke played in every game in august I posted that on sept 1st pyke didnt play again until October and that was against wolves kids he then started v Stratford and now he's getting games again ( back in the shop window at the moment ) |

Rather than add to the stalemate on the Retained Players thread, I thought I would return to Rekeil’s very own thread…..
By whatever means and however much it costs to release him, he needs to move on; it is hard to imagine Pyke ever playing for us again. He clearly doesn’t fit in with SC’s plans and/or is not considered good enough. There is nothing unusual in this - with every manager we have a debate about why certain players are always picked and others are left out or played in unfamiliar positions. That’s just football and is not any indication that SC is better or worse at man management.
Pyke is still young enough to forge a career at L2/Conference level and if that’s what happens then I wish him all the best. I do feel he has had some pretty poor luck in his time here and we were never given a glimpse of what SR saw in him two levels below L1 at the unmentionable place. Let’s hope he can revive his career after a grim couple of years here.

Seems odd us giving him a 3 year, but wish him the best. How ironic. |

If he is surplus to requirements then why is he not transfer listed?
Other clubs do that.

Mr Pyke needs to re-invent himself as he isnt really a striker. He put in a good shift when I watched him in a wing back position.
Joe Linton at Newcastle is a classic example of a player being recognised by his Manager as having qualities in other positions on the field. Since being moved by Eddie Howe he has been impressive on a weekly basis.
I always thought that Mr Amadi-Holloway would have made an excellent Centre Half, good ball control and decent in the air

I don't even think Telford fans would be over excited about having Amadi-Holloway and Pyke up top in the seventh tier.
The thought of them together up top sends shivers down the spine.

The Star say 2 year deal but the official website saying 3 year That's cos the official website also said it was 2 years for about an hour or so and it was later changed to 3. Can someone check the smallprint on the contract, maybe it was 2 years after all! |

in his very brief spell under ricketts pyke looked promising according to many
but it seems to me cotterill is far to quick to give up on a player, if you don't instantly fit into his starting 11 you get left aside to rot away

But it seems to me that a Cotterill with the mindset you describe would have released Udoh 12 months ago. |

I think has had more than enough chances under Cotterill and blew it whilst Udoh did the opposite. How many chances does a player playing poorly get? |
