    If Dixon gets game time the fans will need to show him the type of tolerance Thierry Small gets.
    It is fair to ask what more does Dixon have to do, but you could ask that about some others, notably Casey.
    They both offer very different styles.

    Dixon is nowhere near ready. Scoring against weak U21 sides is a million miles from playing in League One. He has looked very ordinary in two games that I watched recently. Give him time.

    Casey and Mbick (when he was fit) score plenty at u21 too, but there doesn’t seem to be any demand for them to get a chance in the first team. Dixon seems to have been overhyped because we paid a small fee for him and he has caps for Jamaica.

    The concerns are more about Dixon’s all round game. He scores goals, works hard, will try something unexpected, but he’s still getting stronger and can improve his decision making, link up play, sometimes his composure in front of goal etc.

    I think we can trust Jones to involve young players when they’re ready, including Dixon. I don’t think these last 10 games are the right time to throw any of the u21s in, but if Jones does I’ll back his judgement.

    I don’t know if Dixon is ready but we might be approaching the stage where we need more information about him. He has a four year contract so will need playing at some point. What I want opinion on is what does Dixon now need to add to his game rather than bulk to his body.

    Bower and Fullah’s goals are on Fullah’s instagram story.

    Bower had the ball on his left foot, cut back onto his weaker right foot and hit it into the top corner, assisted by Fullah.

    Fullah picked up a loose pass from the defender and placed a low shot into the corner just outside the box.

    Any chance the club can put up the highlights?

    If there is film, then the whole highlights should be posted so we get a bit more informed regarding the great Dixon debate.

    Dixon must be with Jamaica and Enslin probably with the first team.

    Four first teamers.

    Kanu and Adhadme upfront will be interesting.

    Ahadme already tried to hold the ball up a couple of times and has been thrown to the floor, nothing given. Seems to happen to him a lot

    Yes

    So far we could be doing with the very effective 'hinge' play of Kedwell in the midfield.

    3 on 2 break but Kanu takes a heavy touch and it breaks down. Really should do better there tbh

    Kanu down injured just after a slither of a chance for Ahadme.

    Do you mean without? Kedwell’s not in the squad today.

    Ahadme the nearly man.  Nearly got to the cross, nearly connected, nearly headed it in, nearly beat his man, nearly...nearly.  Hope he comes good - maybe just a confidence thing.

    Decent game, Mwamba, Gough, Ahadme and Kanu prominent.

    No his statement is correct, we could do with him because he's not in the squad

    Hobden took 3 attempts to cross the ball, it eventually deflects and drops to Casey who drills it in from just beyond the 6 yard box

    Did Kanu’s injury look serious? I missed him going off.
