An honest enough pro, who clearly hasn't played to the standard he must have been able to in the past.
I think we're all happy enough to see him leave and he'll perhaps do better when he's back at a club up in Scotland, with his family.

I think we may see his name on here in a few years time on some sort of ‘worst 11’ thread. But in all fairness we were desperate for a left back at the start of last season and he came in and looked alright on trial, but once he started facing half decent wingers he was found out. But it wasn’t just when we didn’t have the ball that he wasn’t up to scratch, I’ve never seen a full back give away possession so much, even simple 10 yard passes inside.
That said, I wish him well. Maybe he’ll get himself sorted back north of the border.

Funny but at Chesterfield in that opening game last season I thought we'd maybe got a good replacement in for Danny Andrew....nothing like how it panned out

I wouldn't necessarily say he was one of the worst, I have seen some dross over the years especially some that Woods signed, but as a full back he was crap.
We've had some shockers over the last few years. I've watched Town regularly since about 1987. I genuinely cannot remember a worse player than Paul Dixon. He was shocking and looked several leagues out of his depth. He got turned inside out, beaten for pace over short and medium distances, always blowing out of his bottom, couldn't pass the ball ten yards and fell over a lot. I am delighted to see him gone, only bad side is he will have been paid off. He doesn't deserve a penny. How he's played at a higher level, and somehow played in the championship is beyond my understanding. Just 31 years old as well. He's definitely earned a starting place in my worst ever Grimsby eleven beating Menno Willems by some distance for the number 3 jersey.

I've tried Hagrid, but I cannot remember anyone worse. All about opinion of course. Can you name maybe half a dozen worse? I'd be interested.

Good luck to him. Won't be remembered in years to come.
i think he will be! there may have been many worse players than him over the last few years, but for someone to be that shiite with the pedigree he had, takes some doing if there is such a category for an all time 'good pedigree but absolutely shocking' XI then he will be the first name on the team sheet

This should of happened in pre season to be honest we have left ourselves short hopefully Fox is back fit for most of the season now.
We had issues with FB's over the last few years, Hatton, Thomas and now Dixon all can't or family can't settle here. Along with the 20 goals a season man Butler.
