He's been improving all year. Was fantastic in the Derby and very good at home to hudds. Played average last 2 games but who hasn't for us . I'm firmly in the play Dixon at 1 camp. Come the big games he'll be a massive weapon for us

He's got to play. Can you imagine him water carrier? He'd more likely knock them out then throw them a bottle to catch!

| Quote ="REDEOD"I didn't start this thread as part of the BC must play brigade but i did use him as a potential alternative to Dixon, i also mentioned Gudzek, whom i see as our current 3 options for the FB slot.
It wasn't meant as a "lets slate the cockney" thread. I will support any player that turns out in a Rovers shirt.
=#FF0000I'm just unsure that his pace, "x factor" whatever you want to call it compensates for the high error count (in both attack and defence).
Where would you honestly place him in comparison to the 1st choice fullback from the 11 other SL teams?
I personally think he is currently in the bottom 3 - granted, with much potential to rise up the ladder, but to improve as a club individuals have to get better along with the team improvement.
I sincerely hope he does improve his error rate, i hope he has a blinder for the rest of the season, i will still cheer him on regardless, i just hope he stops the brainfarts sooner rather than later.'"

Love a good stat-fest me. |

Dropped bombs? Passes thrown into touch? Kicks going backwards 20 meters? Running to the touchline and getting smashed into touch? Goal line drop outs struggling to make 15 metres? Gathering the ball in goal and then throwing the ball away for a gift try? Kicking the ball out on the full....and then again....and then again..... Any comparison stats Dixon v Cockayne for that lot Stan?
I could easily make just as long a list of good points for Kieran Dixon, I'm a fan but for all his talent he is the closest thing we have to last years Eden/Hall/Caro calamity show. His progress was never going to be a straight line, injuries permitting he should go back on the bench now. Not forever, but he can't be made to feel what he has done so far is good enough. It isn't. |

Oh please Bob, I thought better of you. The kid (yes, kid) is 22 years old. He's going to make mistakes, it's part of the process. I can cope with his errors because he's learning. I can't cope going back 8 years to someone who at 32 years old gets his failings glossed over for some unfathomable reason.
I don't have stats for the errors you requested Bob, perhaps you could supply? If you have an alternative fullback up your wise old sleeve, feel free to spring him on us.

I have them stats 1bad kick at cas once getting pushed into touch once loosing the ball in the in goal area which actually showed he'd grounded it first a couple of wild passes something he needs to work on the only thing I see that cockayne does better is running the ball back he makes a bit more ground but then Ben isn't going to out run anyone really

He'll Bob you've described the Bigot's performance against Wigan perfectly. How many errors and penalties did he give away....
Dixon is by far our best option long and short term. |
