Dixon Ready To Make Home Debut

Paul Dixon is set to make his full home debut for the terriers tonight when they come up against Nottingham Forest at The John Smiths Stadium. Dixon featured in the losses against Preston & Cardiff but is ready to give his all in front of a bumper crowd tonight;

"We wanted to make a good start and now we've got the opportunity to kick on with these home games against Forest and Burnley. For lads like myself who have not played in the Championship before, it's a matter of learning lessons quickly and it's a great experience. I've settled in well at the club and in the area – Nick Colgan lives just down the road and he's really helped myself, my girlfriend and our son, so a big thank you to him – and I'm really looking forward to the whole season ahead. It is going to be great playing in front of our own fans."

"Their support so far has been fantastic and I know they'll create a great atmosphere for us against Forest. There are a lot of big clubs in this division, but hopefully we can repay the fans' faith by showing what we are all about."

Dixon has been impressive in pre-season and looked good against Cardiff on Friday so we expect him to be chosen in Grayson's starting XI tonight.

  1. He looks an all-round quality left-back. His pace is great and allows him to get forward and back quickly. He doesn't look as good going forward as Hunt, but he looks better in defence IMO.

  2. Thanks for the comment Thomas. Yes he is a lot more solid defensively but also offers the occasional overlap up the wing to get behind opposition defence. Looks a promising player for us.
