f*** sake - I don't know what's wrong with people on this site. Dickinson is a quality striker. why all the negative make believe stuff. He had a good game today, won loads of headers, kept the ball very well, always managed to find a brightpn player and made a right bloody nuisance of himself. Very impressed.
I do not see a problem with playing one lone striker away from home. Taylor got the best out of us with that system when we went up to the Championship though admittedly we had a certain Robert Zamora playing then. Its about holding the ball up though when we attack so allowing midfield support.
Playing it at home is a different arguement and not to my tastes of how the game should be played in front of your own fans.
