Interesting article that.

Indeed.  I know he wasn't the signing we all craved but it seems such a low risk option but potentially has huge benefits if it come off.

Dawkins was considered a useless signing by Danny Mills on Fighting Talk today. That alone is a reason to want him to succeed

Better wide option than Bowery.

Must admit I liked what I saw from his little cameo.

He looked comfortable on the ball which was pleasing, hard to really assess him after such a short time on the pitch though.

Looked ok, plus he could be the cheating, diving bastard we've been lacking since Young left.

A crucial dodgy penalty against Reading or QPR would go some way to making up for the Southampton travesty.

Yes i was impressed with him today, maybe could have released his passes slightly quicker as benteke and bent had just strayed offside when he finally passed but he looked something different and i am looking forward to seeing more from him - well done simon!

a few nice touches to say the least, looks really comfortable on the ball, I'm just not that sure we'll be seeing loads of him between now and the end of the season.

Impressed me today, apart from his dive.

Why do people think it was a dive? Reid clearly tripped him with his arse.

He looked a tidy player to me, WTF he was doing with the dive I dont know, dont agree with that. How the feck Bowery gets chosen ahead of him is a bit strange.

I thought it was a Pen from the North stand and thought the only reason it wasn't given was he had knocked the ball too far forward.

Thought he looked decent today.  Good awareness, a bit of pace.  He's not played at this level before and didn't look lost.  It would be nice to have found a player to offer us some natural width.  Fingers crossed.
