The Verdict: Dickie's rise has been no surprise to those who have watched him perform from a young age and have been closely monitoring his progression at Oxford United, before his move back up to the Championship last summer. And at just 25, he still has plenty of time to go even further in the future, potentially to the Premier League if he continues to impress for Mark Warburton's men. He will need to ensure he stays at the top of his game defensively if he's to be fully appreciated for his efforts going forward - and if he can - it's only a matter of when and not if a top-flight club comes knocking for his services. It wouldn't be a surprise to see him come close with QPR this season though, especially after their strong second half to last season, their recruitment in the summer and a tidy start to the 2021/22 Championship campaign. A strong defence will be key to their success - and Dickie will be hoping to lead by example as they aim to secure a spot in the top six come next May.
