Hammond has been excellent for us and definitely warrants a starting place, Liam is even better and Dicker is Gus's love child.

Where will Crofts fit it ?

I'd like to see Crofts and Hammond playing together, it's a marginal call I think and likely Dicker will get the nod to save too many changes, Crofts on bench

Also like to see Dobbie playing just behind CMS with Buckley wide. Not slagging off Barnes but would be interested to see how it changed things

CMS is injured

So do we go with Barnes up front in the CMS role or Dobbie in the same role or Barnes with Dobbie just behind him in Barnes old role, which is what I would do..

Personally, I reckon it'll be your second option with Dobbie in the wider-role supporting Barnes up front. However, he could likely play in the role Orlandi did in the middle ahead of Hammond and Bridcutt with Buckley and Lua Lua/Orlandi out wide....

Options, options, options!!

It could be that Hammond and Crofts are a bit too similar in style to play together. I'm pretty happy with the midfield as it is. Crofts on the bench (to start with) is great cover for the three central midfielders, but it'll be interesting to see how Gus works this one out.

If they're all fully fit I can't see it being anything other than Bridcutt/Hammond/Crofts

If that was the case why bring both to the club?

Bricutt, Hammond and Crofts to start if all fit.

Cover for injury or loss of form maybe, two quality players for each position. He didn't play the two of them when Crofts was available.

I didn't think we have had both of them available yet.
