Just listened to the Scott Lindsey post match and he was full of praise for Kaheim, but interestingly said that Jones text him a few weeks back saying that he thought Dixon was perfect for Crawley and for Lindsey to train and coach him. Shows that we really considered where Dixon should go next in his development.
I'm not surprised by that at all. The obvious thing for a manager taking on Dixon would be to put him on the wing and make the most of his pace there. We would want him to play more centrally though, he's most likely to fit into our team in the TC role, and him learning how to play more centrally to augment his natural skill as a wide player is the best development for him as far as we're concerned. It implies that we really do see a route for him into the first team
Comment from Crawley forum - "Dixon however was a revelation, always running and beating players and putting in great crosses. Also got back to defend at times. Just needs to inprove shooting slightly but that will improve with tiem. My MOM over Adeyemo"

Im sure we do see that route, we would be mad not too imo. You can coach positional stuff but you cant coach natural ability and raw pace and the lad obviously has both

Probably similar to when he texted the Stevenage gaffer!
Have people really seen enough of him to say he won’t make it with us?
scored for fun at u-21 level and had a good L2 debut. He has talent, hopefully he will mature during his loan and come back next summer as a valuable part of our squad
Parker was never going to make it till he went to Norwich, Grant was never good enough till he went to Crawley. Let's face it we all know sod all but it's fun to speculate and sometimes proved wrong.
