Dawson will be in for maguire... Just because of sides and balance. Not down to anyone deserving it. Will be harsh, but that's football.
No place for sentiment in football. Play your best team. Dawson in for Maguire. Leave the rest alone.
I can't say that Meyler warrants inclusion, his form recently has been average at best whereas Haydyn's level has been above Meylers IMO. Certainly if we're two up, bring him on, but not one up because he fannies around on the ball.

Greegsy Dave, Daws, Curtis, Robbo Snodders, Hayden, Jake, Clucas, Mo Abel It wouldn't surprise me if Brucey opted for Harry in place of Curtis If Mo ends up at Palace (hope not) in the meantime, then I would expect either Meyler or Akpom to make the starting eleven
You might be right, I think a lot will depend on whether Curtis is likely to sign a new contract. If SB thinks he is playing hard ball, then Harry may well get the nod.
Nope. Same team for me. Dawson is not yet ready for a game like this as a starter....imho. Same team as Fulham to start for me IF all are fit. However, I think the bench will be more interesting. (ie. Who fails to make it to the bench).
Diame may pay the price then if that were to be the thinking. Meyler is most suited for the Burnley game. We know for sure that Burnley will come out of the blocks from the off and we need to kill there game. I will be most happy if the game is 0 - 0 after an hour. We can then open up more afterwards.
If Dawson did start then Maguire could play as a defensive midfielder. For sure Burnley would not enjoy trying to get down the middle. OR Dawson could simply play as a sweeper. The fact Burnley have a tough away game 2moz @ the Wendies should be of some help / use to us......... maybe............
Even Bruce isn't that mental, it will be Dawson in for Maguire or Davies, with Meyler for Hayden being the only other potential change.
It is not mental to play Maguire in a defensive midfield role. Harry can play in that position and carries the ball out well. However, Dawson did not look 100% ready just yet @ Bury. Maybe Burnley has come too soon.? twt.....
