Dixon needs to be at Fullback
But, he needs to do it in defence in a very basic manner, his one on one tackling is a lot better than he is given credit for. I will however Labour this point yet a bloodygain.
Yes, Fullback is the last line of defence, but if gets to that, your whole defensive structure has failed. One on one with a fullback is very similar to a penalty kick in Association Football, if you stop it then you've done very, very well. Most of the time there will be attacking players flooding through the line.
The last Old Skool full back was probably Briscoe, but you need more than that now.
Dixon needs to spend more time on being a third or fourth pivot and honing his passing game.
We've all seen that Cockayne has absolutely no right to left passing game, I like his enthusiasm and his scoots from dummy half in exit sets are often excellent, but Dixon offers so much more. He has electric pace from marker and superb footwork.
If we don't exploit his natural talent it's the fault of the club, not Dixon.
