Reject from was it Sunderland or Newcastle academy ? .. Non league footy then Northants and on to the glamour that is Luton Town and then to arrive at Derby County aged 30 .. No he wasn't a super star .. But guess what he made the PL .. And scored at Old Trafford .. Not many academy rejects can say that. Dreams .. Very important ! Big difference - SH had lengthy spells at clubs prior to joining us. (and even when he left us he played quite a few for Leicester.) No disrespect to Dawkins - but a pattern has emerged, Time for him to move on imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satty atwal Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Wasnt this all down to pre season? When clement wanted him with the rest of the squad but he chose 2 go 2 some cup in north america? Gold cup or something? And since then he been discarded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Dawkins is now ready to move on, and has put his time in the new sandpit to good use - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapeTownRams Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Seems to me that Dawkins made the decision early on this season to put all his eggs in the J'can national side basket rather than commit to trying to win over the new coach and get a first team spot nailed down with us. Maybe he was being distracted with all the MLS talk. But he needs to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie20 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Sooner he goes the better. He's now nowhere near a first team squad place so time to move on, plus I think he's taken up enough space on this forum for someone who just doesn't figure in Derbys' future. Shame but these things happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramos Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Good luck Dawks, no where near as bad a player as some people made him out to be, always felt like there was more to come but it never did unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Good luck to him. Has skills but no real role in our team and probably for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostyn6 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 on his day, one of the best players on the pitch, but couldn't always pull a performance out, for whatever reason. Excellent close control and should be better regarded than he is. Good luck Dawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DcFc Dyycheee Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 All the best Dawks, clearly has talent. Shame we didn't see the Fulham away performance too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zag zig Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Remember an interview with Jeff Hendrick and I think Johnny Russell where they were asked who was the most skilful player in the team? The reply was Dawks, because in training he could tie you in knots. Just a shame we fans never saw it more. Still remember being near the front at Fulham when he clipped the ball in with his heel and couldn't believe he'd done it. Good luck Dawks.
