At fault for another goal and as soon as he buggers off the field we look like a team. Up there with Sam Hill, Tom Curle as the very worst I’ve seen.

Thank you for reminding me of Tom Curle! Craig Dove was another cracker!

Bollocks, still technically gifted but perhaps not up for a battle. We looked better because the balance was better taking one of the three midfielders out and playing Ak on the wing.

A little bit pathetic this thread. Our problems run way deeper that just one player.

He is just terrible. Should’ve been brought off at half time. One abysmal performance that was. That free kick. Christ.

Technically gifted?? As soon as he gets it he boots it to an opposition player. He deliberately goes hiding at throw ins and clearly doesn’t want the ball. He puts us under pressure with lazy play constantly. His past two performances have been an absolute disgrace with no heart, passion or pride in his work. Get rid!

If the likes of him can be a regular in the first team this season, it tells you everything about our chronic lack of options.
You can add Akintunde to that list too, total waste of space who offers nothing.

I maintain Dawson is a "football player" and he's shown it in the recent past, but he isn't ready for a relegation battle.

I remember you saying that Kevin Rapley was a “football player” when he’s quite rightly talked about as being one of the very worst to wear a Chester shirt. So on that basis you could hardly be called a good judge of player could you? Out of interest why do you maintain that he’s a football player? Do you ever see Dawson look up to pick a pass? No, just lazy hoofed balls which go to the opposition 98% of the time. Crawford put him to shame tonight. With him and Jones pulling up trees the future isn’t so gloomy. With Dawson in the side it is.

Think Dawson does have ability, when completely on song he can pick out passes that most can’t. Get’s decent whip on the ball as well, just needs to actually place it correctly more often. My worry with him is that he’s not learning and he’s not that young now either.
He’s a bit of a luxury and his confidence is shot to pieces now. I watched him trudge off after the Halifax game and his body language was absolutely appalling. Needs taking out of the side as his head’s gone completely.

The first time I watched Dawson I counted the number of times he found opposition players and the person that quoted 98% was spot on.I certainly hope him and Akintunde are not here next season. So frustrating watching them fail to find a Chester player and start oppostion attacks.

Bottom end Conference North. Why did we think he was hard done by. I honestly thought MB would have dropped him by now. That tells me more about MB's choices than anything else. Joyce is a better option. At least his 5 yard passes go to Chester players

Watching him and Alabi was a joy at times and everyone seems to have forgotten he started season well and was our top scorer. He doesn’t play well in a poor team and Nath is right he doesn’t battle and so people get on his back. He shouldn’t be in this team, that much is right.

If he was the best in CN why did he leave then. I honestly think we'd have been better last night playing Joyce instead of him.

He left because he fell out of line be with the game, he’s not alone in that respect. Durrell brought him in to try to reignite that passion but battling relegation year on year doesn’t make a creative player happy. You’ve got to enjoy what you do in life and it’s clear he’s not so I agree, it was nice to see Joyce back as I expect he would battle away despite being a bit rubbish

Personally always thought he was a woeful player, a bit like a tall John Rooney, but actually worse because he doesn't even battle. His delivery is hardly ever good, but gets remembered for the odd decent pass. I think he's so easy to play against because he's never up for it, the type of bloke someone could shoulder barge into the stands and it wouldn't even fire him up.I don't even think he started the season well, he grabbed a few goals which was a good disguise on some poor performances but it went downhill from there. For me, this league isn't about being the best footballer, it's about the battle and organisation and if you look at the sides around the top it proves that.

It says something when one of the most criticised players last season, Wade Joyce, is now a preferred option in the middle of the park, after our most expensive summer ever.

Shows how rubbish Dawson is when 2 younger lads play so much better then him he needs to be dropped asap cmon Bignut let's see if you got the bottle 2 I wouldn't let another woeful Dawson performance detract from the excellent performances of Jones and Crawford. They gave everything and didn't get bullied by ex-league players like Dawson did. They gave everything, took a fair few whacks and got on with it. Jones had Cassidy in his pocket. In fact has Jones let him out yet? One part of the game I remember last night (apart from that free kick that went in the Royal Mail depot) was Devante Rodney and Dawson going for a 70/30 ball in Dawson's favour and our midfielder totally bottling it and Rodney getting the ball easily and starting an attack. That just epitomised what we have seen from Dawson since his arrival in Feb last year. It's worrying when fans want the much maligned Joyce to start over him. Personally, I would stick Crawford James/Turnbull in the centre and give Nathan Brown a go on the right or left. Granted he looks small but it's not stopped the likes of Messi making a bit of a career out of the game. With Dawson playing it is like playing with 10 men, if not worse. At least with ten men we wouldn't be giving the ball away so easily. There were spells in the first half where Hartlepool kept hold of the ball for long periods. They kept it simple and didn't aimlessly launch it forward like Chester do. However, Chester seem to have this habit of giving possession away ad nauseum and Dawson is usually the prime culprit!

In my eyes Dawson’s problem Is not so much a lack of effort but a lack of pace, he’s like a car stuck in second gear, the lad does have some talent ie his delivery when given time but with no pace to call upon he panics and gives the ball away. If he was playing in a team top of Conferance North with willing runners asking for the ball he would be straying the ball about to both wings but he’s in a side who are weak in midfield and our forwards only run away from the ball inviting the hoof ball. All that said I agree that he should be taken out of the side and I am sure he will when Roberts comes back.

Dawson and James were a disgrace last night. Turnbull will be gone soon if we can’t afford his wage. Hopefully James too. Down to Crawford, Joyce and Roberts.
