That's Naylor's hunch. And Rosenior replacing Sidwell/Stephens means he'd be playing out of position.
When he's played midfield earlier this season it was as part of a 4-3-3 or as a out and out winger as a 4-4-2.
Hughton might be prefer Towell and Kayal as the central two but you're right we are short of central midfielders.
The likely option I guess is drafting back Crofts alongside Kayal.
Bit of a risk to start Crofts, if Sidwell couldn't make it through a whole game I very much doubt that Crofts would fair any better.
