Would suggest that Scott Wright will take up Pawlett's role as a sub with the odd start here & there.

Stewart & Maloney in for McGinn & Hayes.

Leave's us needing CB, CM & Stevie May! If the budget stretches then a proper LB unless Shinnie is going to be playing there & another winger if Storey leaves to give extra cover for May/Maloney who are both injury prone.
Shinnie will play in midfield along with Tansey.
We won't sign a LB as Harriet is expected to push for a first team spot there.
Wright will go out on loan.

I see us playing much narrower, with all the players confident of shooting from outside the box it will be a different way of getting through packed defences.

If we get May, I'm guessing the focus will be on a CH.
There's plenty cover in midfield.
