    I'd wager he'd score more goals than either Church or Sordell.

    His record while at Charlton suggests otherwise.

    Just remind me how many games did he start & how many mins on the pitch did he have in the 2-3 yrs he was with us.

    I seem to recall that Parky preferred to have Tamer Tuna on the bench (and never brought him on once) for at least a dozen games one season to Dickson. As far as I'm aware the lad has given up football having not kicked a ball in anger since playing for Erith Town.

    Dicko wasn't given a run in the side and in hindsight probably didn't do himself too many favours at times but deserved a better opportunity than he got. The same might also be said for Jonjo and Randolph but, perhaps, I shouldn't open that "can of worms" - or wear a tin hat at least.
    Lets not forget he had after a successful spell at Gillingham, a second spell when he was poor and he had a spell at Bristol Rovers who had an option to buy which they, with no reluctance, turned down and Lennie Lwrence was fairly scathing. The times I saw him apart from one run at Brentford where he won us a penalty he was cack and about the only notable thing he did at the club was pull down Lloyd Sams shorts in a hotel foyer, resulting in either him or Sam getting a pulled Hamstring!!!

    Chris Dickson? Do me a favour - I'd rather have Barbara Dickson. Callum Harriott, falling over the ball like a child; Bradley Pritchard, chasing around for the ball that he himself has lost; Joe Pigott, blasting a penalty in to Row Z at Dartford.

    You may like all this hapless stuff. When Donny Rovers pitched up at The Valley, they weren't thinking "Oh, I don't like our chairman because he won't shell out" - they scored three times within 23 minutes, sliced us apart with simple, incisive, rehearsed moves.

    What exactly goes on at Sparrows Lane?

    I thought what a random comment, but then I saw who wrote it.

    You've dug out our training methods and staff on dozens of threads. Why don't you pop down to Sparrows Lane and take a look yourself??

    Best ignore VG and why the constant referring back to the Donny game where they clearly had divine intervention with the ability to walk on water whereas we had divers boots on. I'm just disappointed that the lack of quick throw ins didn't get an airing :0)

    When I listen to a singer at the Royal Albert Hall, I expect her to sing in tune - and she does, beautifully. I have no interest in her rehearsals, or her back-story, or the clearing of her throat. When I go to The Valley, Callum Harriott stumbles over the ball like a toddler.

    Is Harriott's failing a lack of coaching, or a lack of natural talent? While you are trying to work it out, we have won one game in ten, and are facing Shrewsbury, Colchester, and Walsall next season.

    Good work chap. Reckon you're more of a tactical expert than a Pro Licenced coach.

    In his career as a shite pub team player - Chris Dickson has played for Charlton, Gillingham, Bristol City (or was it Rovers), played in the 2nd tier in cyprus and got promoted as top scorer in the league, played in the top tier in Cyprus, played in the Champions league, played in China, played for Ghana and trained with some of the best African footballers in the process. Now he finds himself playing professional football for Dagenham.

    So what have you done that make you such an authority in the game?

    He didn't get many starts because he wasn't good enough. Simple as. An opinion that I was led to believe at the time was widely shared by the squad.
  • Chris Dixon was incapable of keeping onside when he played for us. Seemed unaware of the laws of football. Terrible first touch, barely worth the opposition marking him. Suggest that he might earn a living as a hare at a greyhound track.
  • Nothing against the bloke but he looked pony for us.

    For a minute I started to worry he had signed.

    Then I realised, we don't sign players anymore.

    Hq might have been available on a loan where his club pays the wages?

    I think we are familiar with that kind of contract, maybe Katrien can use her precedent contracts to get us a good deal.

    Is Stuart Fleetwood still at Sutton?

    Imagine a Fleetwood/Dickson strike force knocking us out the cup

    Edit: I see Fleetwood is now at Bath
