Was thinking about this earlier. I think it will be fairly straightforward
initially at least
McConville takes the Hills role, Wright will as you say effectively replace Lungi, and Jurasek will replace Onel.
As players stat to come back it will get interesting - I don't see Wright immediately challenging Kenny and Nunez but he certainly gives us the opportunity to rest an aging Kenny more often, but I do wonder about McConville and whether he will even make the bench ahead of Cordoba. If we continue with two fullbacks on the bench then I think he will have a tough time getting in the squad. However, what JHT might do, now he doesn't need to move Fisher into midfield late in games if Wright is on the bench, is to leave one of the fullbacks out.
Jurasek one is interesting. I wonder how JHT views Crnac and Jurasek. Does he seem them as RW, 10 or strikers? Some serious competition in there right now with Sainz coming back, Dobbin having been very good lately, Schwartau playing way beyond his years and Crnac starting to get a few goals.
I think what these three will mean (if they are any good) is an exit for Sorensen and Gibbs in the summer. Maybe even let Kenny go on a free for his last pay day.
