Keep playing as they are and it would be totally unfair to take either player out for Dawson , back in training next week but as long as the performance is good at Fulham he wouldn't come back in for me , how could he ?
Agreed. Keep playing them until they lose their place by poor performance. Give Dawson longer to recuperate.
Don't rush Dawson back, by all means. He might even have a game or two on the bench when he's 90%. But if he's fully fit, then he has to play.
Don't get your Davies - Maguire comparison at all. Against admittedly limited opposition, Davies was near perfect yesterday and I think has generally been back on form this season. I like Maguire as a character and he is more exciting to watch but let's see how much his lack of pace and occasional rush of blood to the head fares against Premier League strikers (if he gets there) before we get too carried away. Personally, when Dawson is fit, I would play Davies alongside him ahead of Maguire.
Luckily for SB I don't think it's that difficult a decision to make as any combination of our centre backs should be just fine. If pushed I'd probably say leave Dawson on the bench giving him the extra rest, whilst giving Harry much needed experience. No big deal really.
Fair enough, each to his own etc. My reason for making the comment is that Curtis has looked decidedly short of confidence recently, this transmits to his control and passing of the ball to me whereas Harry seems to be growing in confidence. Positionally Harry does have things to learn but with one of the best centre backs of the past 25 years as Manager and Dawson as mentor he's in good hands and appears intelligent enough to listen and learn.

It wouldn't have mattered what we sold him for - Ehab is pocketing it all. In a way I'm glad they went for peanuts. For a man so seemingly money hungry he'll be gutted he didn't get twice as much
