That's what I thought, surely managers had prepared their squads for using 18 players a game.
Who'd start Cairney?

The 5 subs rule applies from the start of this season 
On the midfield subject, I'd have Evans in the side every day of the week. He was our best midfielder in the latter part of last season, scoring a few goals and playing in a defensive and attacking role without any problems. He can tackle well and definitely has decent passing ability (before any smart arse comments, yes his misplaced pass yesterday was awful).
I'd stick with Fryatt and Simpson up top as well. McLean works hard, but can't score goals at this level, and Adebola just does not fit into the side as a starter. If there are such circumstances where we need to bulldoze the ball into the net, he might be useful, but I've not seen anything as yet which makes me think that Dele's nothing more than a battering ram
