Yeh, when Daws was just out of bloody nappies, I seem to remember.
fudge off Greg. Don't get too big for your boots fella. A few decent performances doesn't make a season. You've done fudge all yet.

Lol calm down mate he had a good game against Pool but he isnt beckenbauer..
I think blood and thunder games suit him right down to the ground. Dawson is more effective when he can throw his body on the line, win the important headers and show fighting spirit throughout. I think he also plays better when our side is backs against the wall. Tonight he played magnificently and deserves praise.
I don't think he would play as well against sides that have quick strikers, and who play on the counter, against our dominating side.

I criticize him a lot he was fantastic tonight.
Maybe he is suited to games where he can kick the ball as far as possible. And playing Andy Carroll.
Not saying he is what i want long term but he was solid tonight. I was probably a bit harsh on him, he isnt the best defender at the end of the day he gives everything.
Didn't think I'd see you around here!
We're here to voice our opinions and engage in debate about football related topics, but there's no need for you to act up as such a bellend as you did RE Dawson before the game. I think Crawley should review the comments made and deliver a permanent Dawson avatar, seems the best way to move on from here.
Did really well tonight. Both our center backs did. I thought Ledley actually edged it. Always in the right place and such a huge calming influence. Anyone who plays alongside him seems to do well. Kaboul has done great this season. Dawson did well today. But if they had played together tonight, without Ledley, would they have been as good when put under pressure?
This, he seems to struggle more when there is nothing to do and the opposition get the odd chance/corner.
Better away from home.
That tackle on Carroll in the box, 1st half edges it for me...plus the block late on. King was King, its hard to mark him down! But Dawson went the extra mile, imo.
I think Daws in games like is often more eyecatching than Ledley is. He gets some blocks in, maybe a couple of last ditch tackles that Ledley doesn't make. Ledley is so clever that he rarely has to make those actions. That is what makes him so outstanding. He had one moment out of character when he made that desperate tackle to give away the penalty agaisnt City. Most of the time, however, he is so well positioned, always covers the right areas, makes the right decisions and just makes defending look easy.
Excellent game however I agree with the earlier post that he may well struggle against a. Smaller more dynamic forward like he did at old Trafford earlier in the season
But great tonight
thats unfair. name one slow , less than desired mobililty, type CB that can handle smaller pacy players? are they common?
