In terms of age, it's
Davies 25
Nat Philips 23
Gomez 23
Kabak 20
Rhys 20
Reputation aside, there's no reason Philips and should considered solely as a "not bad" backup. He's in the competition to be first choice with VVD, and should be judged on that basis.
JoGo and Kabak shouldn't come in thinking they have a right to start. It's up to them to dislodge Nat P.

Davies is 25
Davies tiene veinticinco años
Davies has been alive for a score and five years.
Davies isn’t 27, he’s 25. Even I know that!
Now Im not so sure
I don't feel it's now a case of championing an underdog, he's been very good. Technically good; his passing is quick and precise, he played some cracking early passes down the flanks last night, dominant, aggressive and his positioning is good. Whereas the likes of Gomez suffer from bouts of indecision and a lack of concentration, this lad is switched on to danger at all times.
He's been very good and as said earlier, it's up to others to dislodge him now. There's no way he should drop down the pecking order because we've signed players, it's up to them to work their way in. If anything, Fabinho should return and partner Phillips, with Henderson returning to midfield.

This is exactly how I feel when he plays. He's very good actually.
I would have had more faith in us scoring had we slapped him up front for the last 15. That's how good he's been for us.
Yes, Phillips really hasn't put many steps wrong when we've used him. MOTM performance on his debut in the PL and has looked solid since then. He didn't use the ball well against Newcastle(?) and he got benched because of it, but for me that was harsh and cost us when Williams was making worse mistakes.
If Kabac or Davies suddenly shine in training then fair enough. Judging from what I've of the signings, Phillips is competing with Kabac and Davies with Fabinho. That gives a nice mix of physical and aerial presence and ball playing ability.
Henderson should drop back into midfield sooner rather than later.
27 as any fule kno
Ah Taiwanese !
Nat has to continue at all the costs. And not playing Henderson in midfield would be the biggest mistake the season after this.
I am fine with Nat/Kabak and Davies/Kabak forming a partnership so that at least we can prepare them for this remaining season. Fabinho can play in defence only if required otherwise in midfield.

He's looked very solid to me. The least of our worries. He's imposing and has looked calm.
Deserves a contact extension, or let him leave on a free as a "reward"?
I'd let him walk as a 'thank you' for how much he's helped us - so he can have a career at a burnley etc ...
However, if he wants to stay, he should be our #4 CB ... he's good enough.
He should be allowed to continue his career elsewhere. Not good enough, but has been reliable when called upon.
At a point in his career were he needs to play, and he can probably make a decent career for himself at a decent Championship team with promotion ambitions. He's at a level between the Championship and Premier League. When he was ran past in the 2nd half last night you could see his shortcomings, but fair play to him. He gets stuck in and puts his body on the line.

A cut price move to Preston in the summer?
