But why? Dawson has just had his best two games of the season against two of the best wingers in the div in routledge and snodgrass, and although he's not had the best of seasons against qpr and Leeds I thought he was brilliant
If we had treated Ayala badly the why would he want to come back to us? It doen't make sense. His contract is up at the end of the season I think so get him in on loan and try to get pre-contract agreement if we are allowed to
There's no chance I would drop Chester or Gerrard for Ayala now. There's no chance Dawson gets dropped as he's just had his blessing from NP to be our new captain. I don't see much point in bringing Ayala back in that case. I think Macca does as cover for the rest of the season then we look to bring in an experienced centre half as cover. Don't forget we've got Liam Cooper to come back aswell!
Ayala was good while it lasted but I think its time to move on. Like its been said why would you drop Chester when he's playing so well for a loan player?
Has NP officially said that Dawson is the new long-term captain? I assumed it was just a default, possibly temporary, position because he had deputised for Ash in the past.
Dawson hasn't been bad in the last couple of games, but he's going to continue to give away daft free kicks(possibly penalties) for holding, as he can't keep up.
He's not a disaster, but the way the team is now shaping up, he is a weak link.
We don't have only 4 defenders tho, macshane is still with us, solano, cooper still hasn't extend his loan at carlisle and Evans spent most of his time in man u's reserves I believe. I'm not saying I wouldn't welcome cover just pointing out were not running with 4 defenders![]()
