It's not just at a bounce though. Do you really want Crouch, Sloane and Laird in the middle? Crouch, Hately and Laird? There are just too many slowish inside mids. It's a worry, especially around the ground. How well do you think those 3 would go on the spread when chasing?
It just worries me as I think Hately has a 200 game career ahead and Sloane is the one who looks out of place in that midfield.
Anyway, I hope I'm wrong and the Sloane we all know and love is back. It would make a huge difference to our team.
The only player in our midfield that can only play inside midfield is Matt Crouch. Every other player can rotate through half back, wing and forward. I don't see it as a big issue.
Ultimately we need 4-5 guys or more that can play inside midfield, so I'd expect Hately to be part of that rotation
