Miss ya dawks Whilst I'm very happy for him that he's happy at the moment, I suspect he wouldn't fit in Pearson's team at all. He was never one to press the opposition, or move at high pace. He was the epiteme of McClaren's Derby, which Pearson has made clear has no place in his Derby squad. Still, delighted that he's found somewhere where they appreciate him, especially after the heartache he's had to endure in recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Was always a solid player but did seem to be very confidence based, when on form he could be brilliant- just wouldn't fit into our team at all now tho, glad he's found himself a home in the US, he always seemed a nice guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Brayford is the ultimate Nigel Clough signing (played for him at burton, great attitude, good value) then Dawkins is the archetypal McClaren signing - great technique, lots of nice touches, not sure what or how to be effective, but look very fine whilst doing it. I guess that makes Nick Blackman the Clement signing template (oh dear) and Wassall never got the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i-Ram Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Good technical player Dawkins. He could actually pass quite well too. Don't think he was ever appreciated or "loved" enough by our fickle fan base. Glad he is doing well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Joined SRG's man love brigade. Class player. Gave Forsyth chance to get forward because he was so reliable on the ball. He didn't take enough risks with the ball though. Great to see him doing well then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be coached out of them I'm afraid. All about the percentage. Real shame, I love a maverick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimmu Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 This is awkward. Leave Derby and become a good and missed player. Play for Derby and prepare to be booed. Fickle at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like they were easy chances due to bad defending either. I wish he'd had that sort of composure with long shots when he was with us. Felt technically there was only Hughes better than him when he was in our side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Rubbish! Didn't run around enough, and as we all know, that is the most important attribute that can ever be displayed by a footballer. "Oh look at me sliding team mates in on goal with neat 1,2s" No! Real footballers race into the channel and battle for the throw in over and over and over again. I know as a fan that's what I pay my money to see. Intricate one touch passing holds little interest for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attractive play and scoring loads of goals is what I go to see and whatever you say we were in the top one or two teams for scoring goals with MacClaren. Our foot ball is barren at the moment and not half as enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goals are the same size in the Premier Leave and Conference. Not saying Dawkins is a crap player but it's not hard to stand out in a league where Bradley Wright Phillips is a superstar. Saying that before the Podcast on Wednesday night @Srg was suggesting we signed Wright Phillips as Martin's replacement. Tried to pass it off as his mate to test the water and see what we thought, was an obvious "my mate has a problem" situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah And Wright Phillips is scoring for fun because the defending isn't great. Dawkins goals came mainly from outside the area there. i think a better way of putting it is individual goals like 25 yard shots don't change no matter where you are. Defending inside a penalty area will change depending on the level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
