    Did he (Nkeng not Dixon) play off the left or the right for the u21s? For his goal it looks like he's breaking into the box from the left? 

    Aware that's probably his best position but given our issues on the right would be interested to see him have a go on that side too.
    on the U21 thread it sounded like he mainly played on the right but he switched wings sometimes

    He was mainly on the right and looked confortable there.
    Excellent news. Thank you both! 

    Give him minutes off the bench on the basis of that alone!

    Minutes of the bench is exactly how he was used at Wimbledon to good effect. 
    It's the best way we can use him and see how he develops

    Feels like Dixon all over again....... Lets see how it does over a sustained period of games
    We paid over 800k on Nkeng who’s already played at L1. Dixon was some random Jamaican we got through a partnership program 
    He wasn’t “some random Jamaican” he was a full Jamaican international

    Michael Hector was a Jamaican international when he was playing for us so can’t pretend it’s an exceptional level of footballer. 

    Fact is Dixon was signed from the Jamaican league, on a minimal fee and wages. Nkeng came from the League one on 800k. Comparing them as similar players in similar situations is laughabke

    Nobody said he was good , just that he wasn’t random.
