Gary Dicker is very under rated

[terryberry1]

Often gets slagged off on here but for me our Midfield is soo much better with him in the side. He does nothing fancy but knows our system better than anyone. Allows our midfield to play with fluency, hope he gets a long run in the side now.

 

[dingodan]

I agree.

 

[beorhthelm]

true, but the problem is he has off games and then can be a big liability.

 

[coagulantwolf]

Me and my dad thought he was absolutely fantastic today!

 

[Colossal Squid]

I often think he's a boring choice and doesn't offer much but he's had a good game today so well done to him. Certainly deserving of a place ahead of Crofts on current form

 

[Meade's Ball]

true, but the problem is he has off games and then can be a big liability.

That was over a year ago. I haven't seen him play wrongly at all on his appearances this season. We have a squad that can deal with mishaps and mistimings for most of the time.

 

[Titus]

He's the catalyst.

 

[Weststander]

He was fantastic at Withdean at L1 level but other than his great short passing, has generally flopped in the Championship.

But still youngish, played a blinder today, and had surprising match stamina despite a lack of games.

Needs to repeat this regularly now to justify a future,

I thought he looked sharp and is probably the most creative of all our central midfielders. Harried there players and made some good challenges as well today. Hope he can continue this form because he could be a great player.

 

[Stat Brother]

I'm first in the queue when it comes to sticking the boot into our defensive midfield.

Not today.

Dicker may well be the answer, as per the thread a few days ago.

We had such a better shape today, than for a very long time.
Bridcutt had the room to be Bridcutt.
Hammond played well.
Dicker was the furthest playing close to the front line.
While Barnes and esp Orlandi were able to get at Newcastle, along with Dave and Bridge.

Thought Dicker was excellent today. Have accused him of slowing play down in the past, but today he was always looking to go forward and move it quickly. Hammond was the one who slowed it down today and because of that kept getting caught on the ball. Barnes good first half shocking second.

 

[00snook]

Agree Dicker played well and we look good with him in the side.

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Underrated - couple of mistakes but was very good today.

 

[danish seagull]

Far more balanced with him in the side. We have players with more quality than him but he just seems to make us flow better

 

[big nuts]

Absolutely - Luckily Gus appreciates what he does for the team, so I would expect him to feature far more heavily in the second half of the season.

Would be interesting to see our win/loss record with or without Dicker as for the last 3 years we seem to play better and gain better results with him in it.

 

[Tony Le Mesmer]

He did very well today. Happy for him to be in the side if he plays like that

 

[fleet]

He was excellent today

 

[Mackenzie]

They all played well today, we look like we're beginning to get back into form again......the magic combination.

I don't always agree with u mister .. But although the team played well I think u r right to single out Dicker.. He played really well especially as he hasn't played a full match for som time

Me and my dad thought he was absolutely fantastic today!

As did me and my son!
