I know it was only 10 minutes but Dixon clearly has quality when you can get the ball to his feet. There was also a moment where he was back defending about halfway into our half and ran the 5 yards between two attackers so quickly that they didn't know what to do with the ball. Could be a serious prospect
His running gait reminded me of Kevin Lisbie. I don’t have anything else to say yet other than it was good to get a glimpse of him and a hint at what he might he have to offer.
Good that he’s already put to bed the doubters that he’d never play for the first team as well. Not only that but he nearly set up a winner all on his own in his short cameo.

A Cruyff turn and a cheeky back heel to set up a scoring chance made for a good cameo.

The back heel was a work of art. 100% he was knew what he was trying to do and it worked perfectly. Just a shame it didn’t lead to a goal.
The back heel was nice because it showed an awareness of where Leaburn was and a maturity to choose give the ball to a teammate who was better placed. Plenty of wingers we’ve had down the years would’ve got tunnel vision and dribbled down a dead end in the same situation.
Also think it’s great Dixon came on when the Mount Pleasant youth team were watching. I know he’s not a Mount Pleasant boy but a few of them posted pictures with him and Karoy at the training ground. It’s just nice

What’s important is for those boys to see a lad from one of their ghetto’s making it to that stage. From relative obscurity in Jamaica to a massive league over here. That cameo will have only strengthened the links with Mount Pleasant

Exactly my point, not sure I’d have used the word ghetto though with no knowledge of how any of them grew up!

I don't recall anyone on CL saying that he'd never play for the first team (although plenty weren't expecting too much). Where did you read this?

I remember it being said. might be wrong but may have been @golfaddick
Good little cameo, have to say he doesn’t look physically ready for much more than cameos off the bench. Needs to beef up a bit
The kid is ripped! He's not getting any bigger!
A skinny bloke with abs is like a fat bird with big tits... It doesn't count.
his arms are pretty huge too, he’s young remember so his shoulders will still broaden
He's never going to be a unit like Leaburn or Aneke as they are both naturally taller in build but he can build on his strength and muscle. Arguably the type of player he is would be better suited as a bit shorter with a lower centre of gravity for the spins and jinks he uses - Deon Burton is a great Charlton example of a forward who wasn't massive but was superb at using his whole body to manoeuvre and manipulate defenders.
Dixon has much more pace than Burton ever did but if he can add a bit of brawn to that natural speed of his it can only be positive.

Went off injured during the Birmingham game so may have withdrawn in any case.
Rest and recovery might be better for him.

He didn't say he wouldn't play for the first team and Chris Dickson of course also played for the first team.
