Down the bare bones as it is so players are getting experience at the levels above their age group in any case.fenaddick said:
Yeah I hadn't really clocked that we haven't sent many out on loan but it actually is noticeable when you think about itHenry Irving said:
Every time I hear from Chris Lock I'm more and more impressed. Talks a lot of sense, is calm and I can imagine he's a very good voice for young players to listen to.fenaddick said:
Interesting to hear his comments on the pros and cons of loans and why games like this are useful.1 -

The first team playing the same night wouldn't have helped. The 50 U21s regulars would have been at Burton or watching on telly._MrDick said:

Must be worth a place on the bench2

Loving that he went for the overhead kick rather than a header for th second.

At one end of Fisher's ground they had a banner saying "No-one stands here we don't care".killerandflash said:
That flag was there when I visited a couple of years ago!InspectorSands said:Dulwich won 5-4 on pens after drawing 1-1 with Orient U21s.
Couldn’t make either match as I was at a gig, but when I saw the attendance at Wingate & Finchley I remembered a banner their supporters used to have: “More flags than fans.”

his team mates didn't exactly rush to congratulate him.fenaddick said:0 -
All of that was better and purer than anything(admittedly limited ) I’d seen from him before . There’s some hope there.
In the previous stuff I’d seen he looked a bit too raw and I presumed that’s what he’s been showing in training hence his lack of first team game time , maybe he’ll get some more minutes soon.1 - Sponsored links:

I was at the game. He scored 4 and missed about 7. In the last 25 minutes Wingate were dead on their feet. Dixon does not look ready for first team football to me.8

Not even ready for 15-20 minutes at the end of games to run at tired defences?killerjerrylee said:I was at the game. He scored 4 and missed about 7. In the last 25 minutes Wingate were dead on their feet. Dixon does not look ready for first team football to me.

Yes, maybe as a late sub but not as a main strikerChris_from_Sidcup said:

Did anyone look ready? How did players such as Enslin compare?killerjerrylee said:I was at the game. He scored 4 and missed about 7. In the last 25 minutes Wingate were dead on their feet. Dixon does not look ready for first team football to me.
I’m sure there’s potential there with Dixon, but it all feels very similar to Chris Dickson’s time here. The highlights and goals don’t show other areas of his game that are probably the reason for his lack of game time in the first team.0 -
But of the seven chances he missed, how many did he make for himself out of nothing? Several of those he did score were just that, and not many players on our books would have scored.0

He scored three of his goals from good passes.Gisappointed said:But of the seven chances he missed, how many did he make for himself out of nothing? Several of those he did score were just that, and not many players on our books would have scored.
Only the first could anyone say he made out of nothing.
Also to say few players on our books would have scored ignores the level of opposition and that there were five other goals scored by our players on the night.

The difference with his almost namesake is his age.1 -
The fourth goal was a 50/50 pass at best, his pace and touch gave him possession and led to a composed finish. The original defender on his heels, one coming to meet him and keeper feeling confident about the tight angle.Henry Irving said:

Tell me which of his goals were Docherty, Campbell or Coventry capable of scoring? Because they are current shoe-ins for our midfield, all having played Premiership football.0 -
Well they would probably have scored 3/4 (not the overhead kick) because they were playing against semi pros. None of them are comparable to him anyway as they play in totally different positions. If Dixon gets minutes it will be as a strikerGisappointed said:

Well he's unlikely to replace one of our three defensive midfielders under NJ. Hylton/Dixon, its a toughie!0

Dixon is a striker, two of those are midfielders and T Campbell scored loads at U21 level as a winger. Or do you mean A Campbell, anorher midfielder.Gisappointed said:

Kanu scored goals for fun in the U21s, M'Bick and Casey scored 40 goals each so yes other players could and did score those goals.
And whether it was a 50/50 pass or not (it wasn't) it was still a pass so not a goal created out of nothing as you claimed..
You are also ignoring both the level of the opposistion and that 6 goals in the last 30 minutes shows they were knackered.
Dixon is fast and skillfull and could be a real asset for us but this game will be one of the easiest he will ever play for us.

Sutton Common Rovers v Dulwich Hamlet has been arranged for 27 January, after which negotiations will begin for the date of our game against the winner.Swindon_Addick said:It will be a while before we know who we're playing in the next round - we'll be at home to the winner of Sutton Common Rovers v Dulwich Hamlet but they haven't fixed a date for that game yet as Dulwich only played their game in the previous round tonight.2 -
The Sutton Common v Dulwich Hamlet match has been moved back to 3rd February. The winners meet Charlton in the Quarter Final3

Final score from Carshalton... (sadly couldn't be there)Sutton Common Rovers 0-3 Dulwich Hamlet
So it's Charlton v Dulwich in the quarter-final!1 -
Nice. Might be tempted to pop along to that.0

Will that automatically be played at Dulwich's ground?0
-
Believe so.killerandflash said:Will that automatically be played at Dulwich's ground?1 -
I hope it's at Dulwich, although the U21s have been using Dartford this season (including a Premier League Cup match against Stockport tomorrow night)0
-
It's not automatic - it's officially our home game so due to be at Dartford. But there would be a big crowd at Dulwich and it would be good experience for the players to play in front of a decent-sized crowd cheering for the opposition. I'd definitely like to see us offer to let them host it if they're willing.killerandflash said:Will that automatically be played at Dulwich's ground?1 -
The Dulwich Hamlet team tonight included 37-year-old Mark Marshall and former academy player Ralfie Hand was on the bench.4
