Dawson

Dawson is absolutely at fault for the third goal midweek. Holmes is shielding the attacker from the ball allowing it to run INSIDE the keepers 6 yard box and even then Dawson is too scared to come and collect the ball. He's way to static and addicted to standing on his goal line, he often does it with high balls into the box as well, though to his credit he's doing a lot better now than at the start of the season on this.

I disagree.

First of all the ball never enters the 6 yard box. Watch it back. It must be nearly THREE YARDS outside the box when Holmes tries to clear it. Dawson expects Holmes to deal with it because he pretty much has the ball at his feet, hence he's static. Tap it back to the keeper so that he can hoof it clear and do your job as a defender FFS.

I agree about the point on crosses. He definitely cost us points earlier in the season but now seemingly looks more prepared to come for them.
