Do we need cover for Burke? Keogh is not suited to playing on the right, he has no pace at all which is a big problem. 
If Burke was to get injured then who would replace him?
He is playing a vital role in the team at the moment and I am concerned that we have no cover for him..
Who would you play in his place? Bellamy could I suppose but do we really want to throw the squad about so much as we are playing very well at the moment?

Would have thought Burkey would have been a replacement for Bellamy and not the other way around!

Maybe a direct replacement isn't the answer but a change of formation to make up for his absence

Ok then, how would you see the team sheet without him?
Heaton
McNaughton, Gyepes, Hudson, Naylor
Bellamy, Olifinjana, Whitts, Koumas
Bothroyd, Chopra

Jonesy has always said Matthews natural position is right Mid, So maybe he could step up. A fantastic player, I think if you take away his defencive duties (Like Harry has with Bale) he will be fantastic.

Koumas or Whitts can play right mid as can Matthews as can Bellamy I'm sure.
Our midfield has so many more options this year.
