    Where do Lankester, Holicek and Tracey fit in?

    None of these 3 have had a pre-season. Lankester is due back next month. Holicek, maybe around the same time and Shilow December/January.
    To me Lankester will have to fit in but where? O'Reilly currently operates down the right but I wouldn't drop him. Behind March, would seem to be a good place. However, Lunt is playing well and integral to the press, which, maybe, JL wouldn't replicate. Despite his success so far, Agius is perhaps the weakest link perhaps JL could play on the left. Okay, so what about Holicek? This, according to many, was to be his season but I'd prefer O'Reilly.
    Shilow would simply have to wait his chance come injuries. For me, he's down the pecking order anyway. And then, where does Tezgel fit into all this. With all the hype about this player, he must be expecting a lot of game time.
    The area we are weakest is perhaps midfield. This is where a few injuries could leave us short and Lunt could move back there to make way and to fill in but apart from that?
    I assume LB has a few formation alternatives in mind to cope with injuries but come Christmas we are looking top heavy with forwards.

    When the injuries start to kick-in and they will then these players automatically fit-in, having said that when the likes of Lancaster are ready to start playing it gives LB other options, that could be resting a player or playing in a different formation. All these players will be needed at some point. Lancaster and Holicek will have to be patient and wait there chance to play. We have played 2 games there is a long way to go.
