Is nobody else the same as me and wonders how on earth he's playing in league 2? His passing is far too good for this league as is his awareness of the game,the blokes quality

league 2/1 is his level although a very good player in my opinion, he lack the pace to play higher when he's played you always need someone else to do the leg work.

He's playing in League 2 because no-one at a higher level has shown any interest. Rumours BP wants to take him to Hartlepool.

They are both good, but I don't necessarily think we're far better with Dicker in over Joyce.

Anyone who was at Oxford last week will have seen how good Joyce is.

Curle knows what he's doing. We're lucky to have both players.

I do agree he should always be in our starting 11 when fit for me he is essential to our rhythem, if Dicker had just a touch more pace he would be championship/premiership player

Just a 'touch more pace'?!

He could well be the slowest player in the football league now that that fat bloke has gone to Tranmere from Luton!

Do you think him and Billys extra training was to run a lap of the ground and thats what took 2.5 hours?

As an old bloke I agree.
Balderstone, they said lacked the pace to play higher and needed someone else to do the leg work.(Train and O'Neill).. Also he needed runners
with pace & vision to move and see space. And that's unfortunately why we were relegated.
I am in noway comparing Dicker to Balderstone except to say thy both have (had) the ability to play on a higher stage,

I would compare him to Murphy rather than Ballderstpne.Sometimes players like him look slow because of the way they play , he has the ablility to put his foot on the ball and pick a pass. , Kenady compliments his style with his all action play.

He was his usual 7/8 out of 10 yesterday. Think Curle still only picks him when he really has to tho. :(
There's only one United!

I think it is really difficult to identify how players will make the step up to a higher division as it can go both ways. I expected Tom Lawrence and Ben Marshall to be in the Premier League based on their loan spells with us and couldn't imagine for one second that the likes of Cory Evans and Joe Dudgeon would get moves to the Championship.

My opinion on Dicker, a solid League 2 player and would probably do a job in League 1. I don't think his pace is the biggest issue, some passes can be unbelievable but I think he does give the ball away too often. You rarely see him bully or dominate an opposition either.

He'd be one of first names on the teamsheet for me. He makes it look easy at times which is a sign of a quality player and when you compare him to the shit we've had hanging round the club in recent years he puts them to shame.
