Lucas Dawson, or should he be called, Jackal and Hyde. Useless last night, but at time this season, hes looked a cut above. Looked like he given up last night though, take him out of the team just for that.

Never thought i'd be saying this, but we're probably going to end up quite lucky that Roberts offered his services to us, providing he doesn't get any more disciplinary issues. We're a shambles in the centre and Crawford was quality, actually showing others up. A point gained is better than nothing i guess, but we need wins now, may as well play fighters that want to win for the club not just picked up their dollar.

Problem is we've still got to pay the dollar on most, playing them or not. |

It's clear that Turnbull can't play two games in a week, presumably fitness-related.

based on the short time gary roberts was on the pitch cant see dawson getting in the team midfield options were short last evening so dawson had to play but the manager saw how poor he was so took him off

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. Didn't Sychdyn also say Nyal Bell was our best forward? Stuck in my mind that, for some reason. Dawson isn't good enough to build a midfield round. Needs far too much time on the ball and doesn't really make space for himself. You could see that at East Thurrock - no doubt he has some talent but sadly not enough for this level. Question is whether he can be an asset in a league below. We are going to need some players. |

Football is a game of opinions so i don't think Sychdyn should be singled out, many posters on here were saying Dawson was the new player to go for money! I think given an empty field he would be a good footballer in terms of picking a pass. He's probably one that would be really good in training because it's far less physical but crap in matches. I've personally always thought he was rubbish, actually got slated by a few for saying so 10 games into the season. |

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!
