Thank you Mr Dawson...

...for a great loan spell. Hope to see you in a white shirt again soon.

He played well overall, but in recent weeks I think spending so much time with Zat Knight was rubbing off.

Started off like a house on fire with his goals but they have dried up recently.

I fear that our defence might fall to bits again now Knight has to play alongside Ream/Mills or Wheater.

I hope one of our trio can make the step up. In normal conditions, I'd go with Wheater all day, but how many times has he played this season? I'd go for Ream and hope he is allot better than what he was a few months ago, which is surprising seeing as did pretty well against Premier League opposition.

Was pretty good today, but a few long aimless punts in there, Knight is to be ignored, not copied Daws.

Thanks from me, definitley been one of our better loan signings.

My greatest fear is if he plays Ricketts at C/B not that I am against Ricketts playing there, it just means Butterfield in at R/B, eek.

I have a feeling that's what Dougie will do.

Excellent loan spell from Dawson.

Miles better than any of our centre backs.

Good choice of loanee, shows Dougie has an eye for a good player. Lets hope it continues.

Excellent loan signing, looks like he will play in WBA's 1st team till the end of the season. If not he'd be welcomed back at the Reebok next season.

I agree. He is one of the main reasons why we are in contention for a play off place. I bet he wishes he could still be with us for the final push.

That's the important point Glos.We can expect a fair bit of transfer activity over the summer and whichever division we are in, it's good to be able to have a bit of faith in the manager's skills and contacts in that area. Looking forward to seeing how Dougie shapes the squad for next season.

Why can't he play the last game ?

What a stupid time to go back.

It's because it would've meant West Brom loaning him to us until the end of the season. Apparently if they'd done this they wouldn't have been able to recall him if they'd needed to. That's what I've heard anyway.

WBA haven't got anything to play for, why don't they just pick up the phone and say you can have him for the last game?

Well, that puts that to bed.

Dawson went back to WBA and promised a game. Well today he was sub and didn't get a run out. Clarke talks with forked tongue or what?
