Wonder if he regrets going. We are an absolute mess but there's no pathway at Chelsea either. Probably 6 fullbacks infront of him and they might sign another 4

Yeah but Chelsea will probably sell him for 50 million having never played

Coming round to thinking just throw Dixon in.

The optics make sense for dyche.

Probably lose either way.

We know what’s coming with Holgate. If Dixon is playing the fan reaction will be more favourable towards Dyche than if he lose and Holgate play.

and you'd have to hope that we'd be more forgiving of any mistake dixon mistakes due to inexperience than we are of mistakes made by holgate for being arrogant and a bit shit.

My only concern is that at times players coming in from the academy tend to burn bright during that initial period of grace they're given, then struggle if they don't kick on quickly.

Would be fun but that spurs left side is scary. I've no idea if Dixon can even defend I've only ever seen him legging it.

Think he will probably do what he does, he'll go fairly flat across the midfield, fairly flat across the back however possible, and he'll try and make it a battle, and for parts of the game it will work.

Can’t believe Okoronkwo is still here! Thought he was gone ages ago. Always seemed like an interesting signing, hope he makes something of himself.
