rynny Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Come home from international duty for 'personal reasons' according to reports. http://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/Derby-County-Simon-Dawkins-returns-home-personal/story-28183291-detail/story.html Quote DERBY County forward Simon Dawkins has returned from World Cup duty for "personal reasons", according to reports. Dawkins was surprisingly an unused substitute in Jamaica's 2-0 defeat to Panama on Friday. Now he is out of CONCACAF World Cup qualifier against Haiti tomorrow. Jamaica team officials confirmed that Dawkins has flown back to England. The 27-year-old has started just one game for Derby this season. DET report has more adverts than words in the article.

Shame he's had it so tough, because he's been close to really kicking on with us and Jamaica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicME85 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I thought she passed away and he said that things were on the up before the season started? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Sadly she did pass away, but I do believe he was extremely close to her and may have taken it very badly and not coped too well. His heads obviously not right yet as he's not been near any squad. shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life is never the same after you lose your mother. We wish you well Simon and we sincerely hope that Derby County are also doing everything that they can to help.

Dimmu Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Maybe this time 'personal reasons' means he is finalizing his move or something more positive. Here's hoping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazram80 Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Its a shame about Dawkins he is almost the forgotten man now. Showed real signs of promise in flashes. when he came on loan he looked good. When signed he looked very average had a great game v fulham away in league cup some good cameo sub apps. I thought Vs Reading facup he was our best player and the game after also(cannot remember who we played). Lots of promise which has not been fulfilled. Hope he manages to sort out his problems and negotiate a move where he can become a regular first team player, sadly I think that his time here is up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Anyone else think the league cup match made up Clement's mind on him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal is a Ram Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 It's harsh on Dawkins - he's clearly not been able to get his head around losing his mother. Happens to the best of us. Clement's probably not had enough chance to look at him. 20ish(?) minutes vs. Burton Albion and 60mins vs. Portsmouth isn't really that much. He could have done with being available for the behind-closed-doors game vs. Notts County. That said, he doesn't really fit into the squad, in my opinion. He's not about to knock one of Hendrick, Johnson, Butterfield, Bryson out of the midfield position, nor Ince, Russell or Weimann for one of the wide berths as he's not a winger.

RadioactiveWaste Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Could be a number of things, but enough to fly back from internationals where you're regularly first choice suggests its serious. If its personal terms on a move, that'd be differe but I don't imagine it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote "I was in and out of the squad – but my mum also passed away. "It was really difficult.

"That was very difficult for me to deal with but the manager (Steve McClaren) was great. He gave me some time off, which was why I wasn't really involved in the last few games of the season." http://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/Derby-County-Heartbreaking-loss-Simon-Dawkins/story-26828748-detail/story.html#ixzz3rkON1iBy Seems clear enough to me.

David Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 blow when Derby County midfielder Simon Dawkins returned home to England, for what has been claimed to be “personal reason”. But OBSERVER ONLINE understands that Dawkins may have opted to rejoin his club out of frustration for not being included in Jamaica’s 0-2 loss to Panama inside the National Stadium on Friday. http://m.jamaicaobserver.com/mobile/latestnews/WORLD-CUP-QUALIFIER--Injuries--withdrawals-rock-Boyz-ahead-of-Haiti-clash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
