I like that starting lineup very interested to see how Dixon performs. Like most I doubt if he is ready for 1st team football but in his interview the other day he seemed pretty determined when he said I will wait for my opportunity and then take it ! A bit of determination can go a long way. Godden and Leaburn should have goals in them as well
Putting out a reserve team ? .. I'd prefer to give the 'first choice Xl' time to gel and get more cohesive, surely they can manage two games a week, Saturday's game was not that testing

Are you joking?
Have you ever played a game in those conditions before? It’s draining. Mentally and physically. On a heavy pitch
I think Dixon playing centrally is very unlikely, unless he plays up front. His best attribute is his pace so he needs to be out wide or on the last defender to use it. He’s tiny and not experienced so I think asking him to play as a 10 would be asking a lot of him at this stage
I really hope Asiimwe, really seems pointless recalling him from his loan and not giving him a chance. Hearing Jones says that our right side has been decimated is very odd when he has a natural Right Back playing u21 games, and instead he's giving a chance to Laqeretabua, who with all due respect is a Centre Back.
The treatment of Asiimwe is turning out to be core Jones arrogance/lunacy Once that cartoon motormouth decides (guesses) what he thinks about a player he sticks to it regardless of what said bloke does on the pitch e.g. he keeps picking Berry and Alan Campbell despite neither of them trying a leg at any stage. WHich is why we see Thierry Small flung in at right(wing)back despite his current terrible form and competent right back Asiimwe frozen out.
Or Laqereterbua is better…
I'd be amazed if he was better than Asiimwe as a right back though, in a team which relies on width from its full backs.

Isn't he a centre back or defensive midfielder?
Many have tried and failed
