Did we really give him 2 and a half years, I did think he was out of contract in the summer.
Oh great, another season after this one of Jonny Dixon threads...

I dont think that MA would have signed him but then the same could have been said about Geoff Pitcher, perhaps Dixon will go the same way, The reserves do not start playing for about a month so perhaps a loan to Woking, Lewes or similar would do him some good even if only for a month.

I thought that when he played at Luto last year he showed promise but was short of match practise. Would i have played him on sat 
yes probably or at least had him on the bench but then there are a lot of things that i would have done differently on sat

We can start off by sending him out on loan for a season like Molango

The trouble is we have to convince somebody to have him...

Hotdogs, extra onions
Aldershot would welcome him back with open arms and as a bonus they love Robinson down there too from his last time on loan with them, so we could get rid of two talentless wonders in one shot
win/win!
Someone in non league hopefully.

Not sure Aldershot would take anyone from us, they have not forgiven us for loaning McPhee to them.

Hopefully, but if he does not want to drop back down to that level, you have him sitting in the reserves.
The problem I have with all this is, I have not seen much of him, as he was injured a lot last season and seemed to miss most of pre-season through injury, yet collectively he seems to have been completely written off.
I would say, what I have seen, when he has played is that he lacks pace which is alwaya a bit of an issue.
I wonder who's idea it was to buy him. Given that he was bought during Wilkins reign but Wilkins never bothered playing him, it seems a strange decision to SPUNK £55k on him.
Very very odd indeed. He's clearly no better than Robinson (our current 4th choice and bafflingly behind Hart), so let's hope a 4th division team out there can see something in him.

ive seen him on numerous occasions for the reserves,and trust me this has to be lloyds worst ever finding.the players touch is poor ,hes got no pace,and to make matters worse hes lazy.somebody told me he was watched by bl who only saw the warm up,well it seems that must be true or bl knows nothing about scouting.as for aldershots wanting him back,no way.i spoke to some of their supporters at crawley last year and they were rubbing their hands at £55.grand.they were delighted to have got rid of him.

Dixon is this year's Elder. He might get a couple of run-outs, but that'll be all

The thing is, Elder actually had a bit of pace about him and had a remote kind of threat, Dixon on the other hand doesnt seem to have anything and certainly doesnt offer a threat off the bench.

You can say that again. My one memory of him last season, was in a home game, where he started an attack from the centre circle by putting a ball out wide, he then stood in the centre circle watching the move,instead of sprinting forward to join the attack.

Good point well made
If I'm being honest, I wish we still had Elder as back-up, I reckon the opposition would fear him more than Robinson. How much did we sell him for? Wasn't a lot if I remember rightly.
