Kennington Ram Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 The Fulham League Cup game where he and Johnny Russell tore them a new one after going behind was epic. Scored one of the best individual goals I've seen ever seen in the flesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsdubs Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I was in San Francisco a while back and watched him play vs LA Galaxy with an old Gerrard in midfield. Fans were pretty decent but open air meant that sound did not travel at all. Trying to post a pic but the insert media function on this forum is dire.

rammieib Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 When I see B4 suggesting we bring back a player who only contributed in one game (Fulham away), I really want to find the nearest razor blade and use it on myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idiot 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. You might want to check that thing flying over your head before calling him an idiot?

I don't blame people for missing sarcasm at the moment. There are way too many genuine posts floating around expressing those kind of sentiments for it to be amusing.

Don't think he was ever appreciated or "loved" enough by our fickle fan base. Glad he is doing well. Wouldn't stand a chance in Pearson's side then...

It was an awesome game for him though (an assist, a great goal before this, and then this lovely bit of skill): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Blimey there are some rose tinted glasses in this thread. Dawkins was tidy but mostly anonymous a few notable performances aside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference is people expect that of Hughes and appreciate him for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombo Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 He was underrated here I think, but this is a bit much. Can someone post highlights to a game he played this well in that isn't that one game versus Fulham? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone post highlights to a game he played this well in that isn't that one game versus Fulham? It's the same thing as the non derby fans who say 'I've seen Will Hughes a bunch of times and he never does anything'. You won't find many games where Dawkins dribbles past 5 players and lashes it in from 30 yards. What you will find is hundreds of little things, where he controls a pass perfectly, gets his head up and quickly passes it to a free team mate, or takes a pass, turns out of trouble and lays it off correctly. It might not win you a game on it's own, but a couple of players doing that reliably allows the rest of the team to function so much better. Nowadays if Christie picks up the ball and passes it to Ince, Ince is almost certainly going to dribble towards goal and have a shot. A few times it will go in, and you can make an awesome highlights reel from it. But the rest of the time, Christie is having to be wary because he knows Ince is going to lose the ball. Whereas with Dawkins you could give him the ball and go, knowing full well that there's a very good chance that if you make a run, he'll get the ball to you, and also be in space to take it back off you if you get in trouble.
