They will be rotated.
They will be asked to do so much pressing without the ball that there will be burn out on times hence why he wants another Midfielder in.

Sorry Phil but I have to disagree with a huge chunk of what you said based on two premises.

First you listed Galbraith as a number 10, as the Crawley game proved on the weekend his natural and most effective position is as a number 6.

Secondly Widell you listed as a number 6, his natural positions are either as a number 8 or number 10.
You also mentioned Azeem Abdulai's potential minutes being at threat when he left us last season

Was this one written by Jackbot and posted under your name?

It’s really 3 into two - I see Galbraith and Franco being able to play DM (not sure if Yalcouye can play there) and also at 8 Franco vs Yalcouye.
Widdell is the only real AM out of those 4 and should be kept there.

Try fitting 5 into 3 now

Was just about to say the same thing. My head is actually spinning

I suppose lacking strength in depth is no longer an excuse lol

I personally don't rate Franco, so he wouldn't be in my starting 11.

There’s probably 15000 on a match day that would completely disagree with your comment

I hope we'll be clearing the decks from the bottom of the pecking order up - meaning Fulton & Ollie Cooper are most likely to be off loaded (if we can - talk of Fulton to Plymouth).
But there's a 1% nagging doubt in the back of my mind that a bid might be coming in for someone we don't want to leave.

2 goals/2 assists is poor return for non defensive midfielder. He looks like he runs with lead in his boots.

Are we watching the same bloke? Lead in his boots? The lad's a fucking machine around the pitch

That machine looks blown out at 60 minutes.

He’s subbed off because he’s run himself into the ground. I’d love to hear your opinion on Grimes then

With the high intensity game that Sheehan demands we need plenty of bodies for rotation.

Last season when we rotated our quality immediately diminished bringing Fulton on.

We must have one of the best midfields in the league now in terms of quality and depth
