Personally i think he is Unreal and always gets slated on here, Most of the time for trying things that none of our players try, yes he may not be the quickest but probably has one of the best footballing brains at the club and that shows when he is on form, I think he has been top class in the last couple of games and more to come in sure, Love you Gary , ta x

No he's not. He's either brilliant like tonight, or a liabilty. Never just average. Unfortunately he's not brilliant very often.

Dicker has no pace but is very good passer of the ball.

Have to agree, sees things faster then most and keeps it simple and effective.

I think he is very underrated, although probably not as much as Barnes. Changed the game in our favour when he came on, was excellent against Brum and Millwall too. He's just a very easy target for moaners who cannot see that the reason a pass might be intercepted is because it is forward, incisive and positive. He is one of the few central players we have who does that, rather than just sideways, but because he doesn't have a 100% pass completion rate, and he isn't very quick, he's easier to have a dig at than the metronomic Bridcutt or the pace and trickery of LuaLua (who were both poor tonight but never mind).

Dicker was one of the stars under Slade. At League One level, he could play sublime balls, but then lose possession without any pressure. At this level, I think he's fine for a mid-table to lower half side. However, we have ambitions to be much, much more.

He played well tonight and against Birmingham , but he dwells on the ball and gets caught too often for my liking.
Lets hope he continues were he left off tonight.

I think he's playing a blinder at present. Gus must have worked hard on the immediacy of his play and the speed of his reactions must have improved enormously thanks to experience. At Millwall he had an amazing skill moment and tonight played a beautiful through-the-legs pass that no one else would have tried, so his confidence is up and long may that be so.
Some idiots scream for him to charge down opponents like Bridcutt does, but that will almost never be the case. He is aware of his own limitations, so takes a position to block rather than tackle. If anyone goes around him he knows full well he won't catch them, so it's not a risk worth taking.
I'm very glad he's currently proving himself fit to play at this level and i hope his run of decency at worst continues.

This is far too sensible a point.

Just like it did with a consistent ball-mover and intelligent such as Paul Scholes. If only he had a bit of pace to him he would have been world class.

Dicker has had a few good games in the last year. He has looked good lately but these good spells are usually followed by months of mediocre performances. Maybe he will shine with the better players around him
