    Subbed in the 80th minute, but Jamaica won 3-2 courtesy of a 94th minute penalty

    From the highlights he does look much improved, might be a regular sooner than we think.

    Definitely appears to have gained a bit of strength, which should help. And from the clips from Sunday, he seems to be absolutely loving it here

    Jones evidently doesn’t think he’s ready , indeed had fallen to 7th or 8th choice by the end of the year .

    Every chance that Jones just didn't want him thrust into the play off pressure. There is clearly a player there. But  It may be that a loan in the first half of next year will do him some good and then hopefully he'll be ready for involvement in the match day squad.

    Will be one of the most interesting people to watch during pre season and during the pre season games.

    He looks much stronger in those highlights than he did before. The way he used his upper body but lower centre of gravity against some of the centre backs was especially good to see. 

    Could be a dark horse in the championship, I suspect we'll see a lot of him in pre-season to see where he is

    Agree, I don't think we should read too much into it, I think it's more that Jones wanted players for specific jobs. Mbick has recently overtaken both, but probably because Jones wanted big physical strikers to bring off the bench for those games. That doesn't mean he's permanently ahead of Dixon.

    Look at last season when he played Kanu over TC, but now there's a big gap between them with TC being a regular and Kanu struggling to make the bench.

    Was interesting that Dixon seemed to the first player off the bench to embrace NJ at full time on Sunday. Didn't look like there was an issue between the two of them.

    Perhaps it was to remind Nathan of his existence

    Perhaps he was looking after his passport for him and needed it before Jones got distracted. 😉😆

    I think we have to remember that coming from where he did, it would have been like playing in the u16’s over here. He will have been so far behind the others physically and in terms of professional coaching. 

    The fact he’s done so well in the u21’s this season shows that the potential is there. I think championship may be a big ask for him next season but a year in league 1 or 2 will be excellent for his development. He seems to just be loving life as a professional footballer and I’m sure he’ll keep learning. 

    For me, a time with Scott Lindsey at Crawley would be perfect for him. They play good football and it’s still quite local for him so he could stay pretty settled here.

    Is this a warmup for the Gold Cup? Did TC not make the cut after being on the long list? Would be surprised if he’s not good enough to make the Jamaica squad.

    It's just a friendly competition 

    They held it about 20 years ago at The Valley and have been trying to hold it since apparently but couldn't get it together(from what I heard, during commentary) they finally managed this year to get the 4 countries and a venue

    Absolute lung busting run to get on the end of that. 

    I'm telling you, if he continues to develop at anything like this rate, he'll be a star next season

    Obviously Jamaica have a lot of players missing atm some either rested after the long season and being saved for the Gold Cup rather than this Unity Cup or some injured

    Bailey, Gray, De Cordova-Reid, Antonio.

    Will be interesting to see how much game time Dixon gets during the Gold Cup, when the regular players return to the set up

    Any minutes played is good for him and for us
