Guest alex Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Bit worrying that we keep getting linked with Dawson. I shudder at the thought of him and Taylor at centre-half for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14021 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Dawson is shite like... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoog 0 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Dawson is shite like... Slow and too similar to Taylor in that he needs someone with him to keep him on track during a match... putting them two together would likely be a big mistake imo... I suppose we could use him as backup to Taylor partnering Faye but I'm not convinced that would be a priority signing for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Dawson would be off to a flyer thought seeing as he's already had a few good games for Newcastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spuds only want to sell us Dawson so they can make up at least those four games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 8th isn't that impressive imo. We've been on every season bar the first one. It would be different if we were 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fop 1 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 8th isn't that impressive imo. We've been on every season bar the first one. It would be different if we were 5th. It's interesting that the top 4 are still the top 4, wonder what it would look like as a ratio of clean sheets/played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
