That's just the thing; whoever you bring in there's going to be a natural shift in the CM positions; Crofts hasn't performed that barnstorming all action superhero midfield general role for some time now, and I'd be very surprised if he could step into Beram's shoes straight off the bat like...
Ince with Crofts on the bench (I'm assuming he's ready given his bench place at the weekend)
But it is going to be a bog loss when the inevitable happens. Thank god we've got Dale firing as well.
