[QUOTE="Teh Mite, post: 402708, member: 12332"] I'd love to know where this myth about Dickson being crap is coming from. With Young, Care and Simpson you have 3 players who always look to do one thing - Sniping runs. Their first instinct is to run alone and invariably get turned over. When it works they deservedly get praise lavished upon them, however when they cock it up it seems to be forgotten. Dickson however (and to a certain extent, Hodgson) tends to be more interested in delivering quick ball to his backs and barking commands at his pack. An integral and reliable cog in a much larger machine instead of a spinning Catherine wheel. Thet need someone like that as a foil to Youngs or Care. Players who change a game and make a difference when it's required in vital positions rather then making like-for-like replacement who offer nothing different. Myler I don't get however. He's a decent 10 at times, too easily knocked in confidence though. I suspect he'll play second fiddle to Lamb next season anyway at club level then forget about his international aspirations completely. Clegg isn't the answer, he's just the same without the game management ability. If Farrell weren't in the Prem Final, I'd say have him play instead - May as well blood the younger boring 10 who's more reliable in confidence and with the boot. As we're stuck right now though, There must be someone else who can step into that role. **** knows why Paice and Brown are in there. Both are over-hyped beyond belief. Pleased for Callum Clark though. [/QUOTE]
