I'm not sure what Craig Dawson has to do to get some recognition. In an otherwise pretty much wretched last season, I genuinely thought he was one of the stand out performers, agreed against not much competition. He's playing in a position that is not his natural one, having been signed as a central defender, and I think has adapted really well to the point where I believe he's made the right back position his own. I also feel we have far more pressing issues than a new right back, starting with putting some desperately needed creativity into midfield and getting some more firepower  up front. I honestly don't think right back is an issue

Baggiesteve. The only problem with Dawson is a lack of pace. He gets skinned most weeks in a one on one situation. These days the Premier league is all about pace, that's why Leicester won the league. Skill and pace all over the pitch. I like Dawson but I'd have him at CB when GMac gets injured and i'd get rid of Olsson. That's if we could get a pacey RB of course.

Hi Worldclass, I do agree with you regarding Dawson's lack of pace; he probably has the pace of a centre back unsurprisingly. I think all of us thought that, when we signed Gamboa, we had got a high quality, speedy and attacking full back. Probably like most fans, I'm wondering what went wrong. Like you, I'd be very happy to see Dawson move into the centre, although that does not seem to be part of Pulis' master plan. In the absence of that, I'd be happy to see him continue at full back if it means Pulis focuses getting some creativity into the midfield. I'm not sure where Dawson came in the Albion goal scoring list last season but it's probably an indictment that he likely came in the top three or four, probably all from set pieces. It would be good if we created something different this season.
