    Hi guys, Watford fan here.

    As Dickinson was on loan with you guys, I was interested to see what you thought of him. Having been chasing a left back for as long as I can remember, every Watford fan is delighted with this signing. How good is he, what's he good at, what's he bad at?

    Cheers :emoticon-0100-smile

    Not the most technically gifted player, but always put in 100% effort. Useful sometimes going forward, but struggled terribly when up against a good winger, so committed plenty of fouls - not a good disciplinary record.

    Seemed like a nice bloke though. Good luck for the coming season.

    hm..Sounds a bit iffy but we've not had a left footed left back for a whille now so anyone would probably do!

    Still quite young and maybe he'll learn from any errors last seasonmade with you guys.

    Anyway we'll see I guess...not had much luck in that position TBH.

    Loses his temper from time to time and prone to make silly fouls - certainly not the spiritual sucessor of Gentleman Jim - but you couldn't question his commitment and work ethic.

    Thought he was utterly useless, terible first touch, couldnt pass or cross but the lovable little scamp always gave 100% and loved to get forward

    His disciplinary record was TERRIBLE, he got about 3 reds last season !! He loves getting forward and has a fierce left foot- remember his shot against Bristol City that hit the bar from his own half ?? He is certainly talented, but is extremelyfrustrating as he is not showing it- yet.

    All the best for the coming Season Super Scoredell <ok>

    Well I am sure Dyche would be quick to have a few words if the guy got silly bookings and ofcourse we have Ian Woan so maybe he'll tell the lad to cool it.

    I was actually GLAD when he got sent off, cos' that meant we wouldn't have him in the side for a few weeks, an accident waiting to happen, but, as others have said - always gave 100%, mainly to referees and their clueless assistants........
