It’s usually the defensive side of the game which most wingers have to learn before they are good enough/trusted to play for the first team. For all their quality, Lookman & Rak-Sakyi were very good at the defensive side of the game.0

TC is a good recent example a smaller forward player who had upped his physical strength without losing all his pace and agility. If fact, TC is properly strong this season and has given bigger players a tough time on occasions this season.2

It was this post that I remembered. And six people liked it, including yourself!Covered End said:
I don't recall anyone on CL saying that he'd never play for the first team (although plenty weren't expecting too much).Callumcafc said:Good that he’s already put to bed the doubters that he’d never play for the first team as well. Not only that but he nearly set up a winner all on his own in his short cameo.
Where did you read this?
@ShootersHillGuru : "I’ll get slaughtered for this but I wouldn’t mind betting we don’t see much of Dixon at all. Certainly not this season. If ever."

I'm pretty sure I said we would not see much of him this season and despite Saturday, i still believe this, for Lge 1 games.
He is still a raw talent form a playing background that means he will need to be developed carefully last we snuff out his potential before it is realised.0 -
Had Kanu, Ahadme, Hylton and Aneke not all been injured I doubt we would have put him on the bench for a league game but they were and we did.
He came on in time added on and showed some flashes of talent and awareness of team mates but it was six minutes against ten men, far too short a time to judge him fully or fairly.
Let's just give him time and space to settle and to develop without hailing him as either the next big thing or as too small/too weak or whatever.14 -
Agree with all of that but it’s good to get a milestone ticked off, especially when people had shared doubts.6
-
Hope we get to see more of him. He's exactly the type of player that a full back will hate to defend against late on in a game.
At the very least he should be getting the next BSM trophy games.9 -
I have actually been told he was from a very meagre background. The word ghetto was what I was actually told. This move will change his, and presumably his family's lives.fenaddick said:

What’s important is for those boys to see a lad from one of their ghetto’s making it to that stage. From relative obscurity in Jamaica to a massive league over here.

Dixon is from, according to Wiki, Trench Town, Kingston which certainly was a very violent part of the capital in the 70s and 80s as the fighting between the two main political parties took place.Swisdom said:

Ghetto isn't quite the word I would use (it has uneasy connotations for me) but it was certainly a "rough" and poor area as well as the home of some of the greatest ska and reggae stars and music.7 - Sponsored links:

He’ll hopefully give us a good alternative to TC and take some pressure off him too. Having one attacking player who runs at defenders in the 18 isn’t enough, especially if one is starting.Chris_from_Sidcup said:Hope we get to see more of him.

Peculiar that SHG made a negative comment re Dixon on the Shrewsbury A thread on 15th September, as he said the above when we signed him.ShootersHillGuru said:Personally I’d ignore the negative comments on Dixon. None of us know what the outcome will be but the club and other clubs have seen something over and above the norm and decided to go after a 19 year old full international from a long way away in the hope that it pays off. Hes been given a four year deal so I’d imagine that we’re very hopeful we’ll make a handsome return in two or three years or it could be it took something like that to entice him to choose us over the competition. If anyone can explain to me a single negative in this I’d be grateful because I can’t see one.1 -
Lost his passport33 -

How do TWO players lose their passports. To paraphrase Oscar Wilde....." to lose 1 may seem unfortunate, to lose two looks like carelessness".
Best be checking all HANDBAGS at Worthing station.2 -
I'm glad it was only a lost passport, reaping the benefit of getting the call up and not having to play and yet still enough to get the Peterboro game off is almost banter-like. I was dreading he picked up an injury!

Not "banter" if he can't return to London in time as he has no passportMartinCAFC said:I'm glad it was only a lost passport, reaping the benefit of getting the call up and not having to play and yet still enough to get the Peterboro game off is almost banter-like.

Can we not get him back on a small boat from Sangatte, which I believe is all the trend nowadays?Henry Irving said:

It did cross my mind too.
I thought in this day and age when teams travel they have administrators who take charge of all logistics including gathering passports etc to ensure its all as smooth as possible.
Could equally be innocent of course.0 -
For 2 players to lose it at the same time, there's either thieving involved or it's an admin issue, no chance both of them have managed to just drop it or whatever on the same day7

Think you're overestimating the amount of staff a smaller nation like Jamaica will have. I suspect they might have someone in charge of this but they also have 6,000 other things to do so things slip through the netvalleynick66 said:TellyTubby said:

I think the simple solution is admin person thinks the two players have their passports and the players think the admin person has them. It's an easy mistake to make. Not as fun as potential conspiracies thoughvalleynick66 said:

Cancel his contract he's clearly been out all night toking up and getting in gang fights back in Trench Town with his fellow homeboy Antonio, who's from... *checks notes*.... Wandsworth9
