Dickie also quite rightly alluded to QPR's unbeaten start to the season, with Mark Warburton's side having more than lived up to their early billing as play-off dark horses in the second division so far.

In addition to having yet to have suffered a defeat in the league, the R's are also the Championship's top scorers with 14 goals at the time of writing and have showcased a swashbuckling style that has made them the neutral's pick to watch at present.

Dickie himself has also been involved in their collective goal scoring exploits, with the defender having helped himself to an impressive four goals across all competitions, thus highlighting his capabilities from offensive set pieces in particular.

The 25-year-old has now firmly established himself as a key player at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium since arriving from Oxford United last year and will be hoping that he can hit the goal trail once more before the current season is out.
