An objective, well argued post. I have mixed feelings about Dicko, but he does appear to gain more disciplinary cards than most!
Not very many according to previous posts. I don't know how much aggro refs allow from captains, but he does give them lots of stick (justified usually) otherwise he could have had even fewer.

I have been saying this most of the season and I think today it came to a head in explosive fashion. Some sources have been saying that Dickinson has had a good season, indeed i was gobsmacked to hear someone (can't remember who apologies, might have been Blakeman?) saying he has been a standout player for us.

 

Everyone is entitled to their opinion of course, but i see a player who makes multiple big mistakes per game (lets remember Streete has been dropped for 1 (one) mistake against Blackpool in the Paint Pot Cup), a full back who is consistently caught out of position and a player who is happy to dish out b0llock1ngs left right and centre to fellow players, opponents and officials rather than admit that his own performances are sub standard and have been for 18 months.

 

I have thought all season he is the weak link but today sums it up rather acutely. Regardless of whether it was a pen or not the fact is he dives in recklessly and gives the referee a decision to make rather than stay on his feet and shepherd the player towards the corner. He then spent the rest of the game moaning at the officials instead of concentrating on his own game and as a result his performance deteriorated.

 

As for the sending off, while it sums him up brilliantly, i was actually quite pleased because it means Mr Undroppable will not be able to play for 3 games so we can now play with the defence that we should be playing with McGivern (a far superior footballer) at left back and Remi alongside Duffy in the middle.

 

-10 at the time of writing says it all. You'll be telling us all how poor AG has been now, or that AJLS will never score any goals.........

And just how many times have you seen him play at left back? I'd cut your loses it's the bull**** if I were you

 

He's played left back for Vale and done fine when I've seen him there. Who do you suggest we play there other than a left footed defender who can play left back, Deen-Conteh?
