2024/25 Roman Dixon

The kid is nowhere near ready.

The fact there’s people crying out for him to play is an indictment of just how bad things are. Ask anyone who’s watched him a few times in the u21s their opinion - he needs a loan.

Playing Dixon, Iroegbhunam, O’Brien etc. is a recipe for disaster. Does nobody remember when Villa went down with half a team of kids who weren’t ready and half a team of overpaid nobodies?

We’re on that path it seems.

He is NOWHERE near ready.

Just like the midfielders, Dyche put at right back - Harrison managed an assist FGS!
 

My word. That's magnificent.

People said the same about Rashford.

However, due to an injury crisis at United he got a chance and managed to elevate himself.

I believe many voted Dixon as motm and heavily praised him.

Sometimes players are superior when in different high pressure environments and out of their comfort zone.

I'm rather amazed you also wouldnt use O'Brien over Keane or have Iroegbunam who has been a shining light this season.

Are you suggesting Ashley Young is ready? And O’Brien is 24 so what on earth are you on about?

A recipe for disaster? 🤣
We're unable to hold on to 2 goal leads and we're shipping 3 goals a game as an average, the disaster is already out there on the pitch.
Roman would give me a lot more confidence than Seamus, Young,,Paterson or Garner.
But worry ye not, that isn't going to happen.
 
Chucking in a youngster before he is ready is Club In Crisis 101.

There are plenty of things to criticise Dyche over, but refusing to throw a kid into this massive pitfire isn't one of them.

This is not an environment to blood in a youngster right now. Patterson (with 75 or so senior apps) is one thing, Dixon is another. We would shatter his confidence before we even got an idea of whether he is a good long term option or not.
 
Dixon must have been sitting on the bench yesterday, watching the Omni shambles at right back and thinking that the manager really doesn't rate him. It was bad enough selecting Young as starting right back, but, when he had to move to cover for Mykolenko, he played firstly a central mid fielder and then a centre back, rather than bring Dixon on. But...the tactics worked well, yeah ok Sean.

You may be right, but, he's far closer to being ready than Coleman or Young, at least the kid can run.

He played at Spurs MOTM on the GOT poll?
