Duracell Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Doesn't sound great reading, these are taken from over the summer to last night. A couple are defending him but not a great deal of support for him so unsure where these rave reviews are coming from.Posts taken from the Jamaica forumhttp://www.thereggaeboyz.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/229047/page/1/fpart/25 I think I speak for everyone when I say I read all of those posts in a Jamaican accent in my head.

G STAR RAM Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Played centrally twice last season for Derby; voted MOTM on both occasions. Started to get rave reviews for Jamaica when playing there too.Which games were these? I remember him being switched to a central position a couple of times any playing well but the only time I recall him starting there was against Portsmouth when he hardly covered himself in glory.Can't comment on rave reviews from Jamaica as the only things I have seen are what have been posted up on here.

He's had no off season at all), but I saw a fair few Jamaicans getting excited when he first played centrally."The Black Iniesta", someone called him. Fanfare of course, but both here and Jamaica, he's earned the most praise playing centrally. As far as I'm aware he was never man of the match for us playing out wide.

G STAR RAM Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I would hardly say one and a half games is long enough to summise that he is a good central midfielder (especially when the Portsmouth performance has been overlooked)I actually do think that he would be better centrally but still not good enough to dislodge any of our players that currently play there.

cheron85 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I think it's fair to say that having had a CM 'crisis' this season AND having just signed 2 new CMs the chances are that the current management don't wanna play Dawkins CM...Also...Current CMs: Hendrick, Bryson, Hanson, Johnson, ButterfieldCurrent 'wingers': Russell, Ince, Weimann, DawkinsCan't help thinking he has less competition on the wing?

Not sure how anyone's Portsmouth performance should be taken into account, even 10 other Derby players were comfortably worse than him.I do agree that I don't think he's good enough to dislodge anyone, apart from Hendrick.

VulcanRam Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 To be fair, they stole his summer. It can't come as a surprise that he's tired. How can he be tired? He had the whole of last season off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
