Albion boss Micky Adams is ready to incur the wrath of his players with a Premiership style squad rotation system.

The promotion-bound Seagulls face a hectic finish of eight games in 26 days, starting with tonight's Withdean sell-out against lowly Lincoln.

That means two matches a week for the rest of the season after the postponement of last Saturday's trip to Halifax, now earmarked for April 24.

"Our programme bothers me," Adams admitted. "We puposefully left a little gap between the games against Carlisle and Macclesfield, because we wanted the players to have a rest.

"Some players might play all eight games but the majority won't. It will be a case of rotating slightly.

"I don't like it and I am sure the players won't, but I have got to do what is best for the team and the club. I don't care about personalities.

"The problem has been forced upon us by postponements. We have got a good squad and if I have to change things I will.

"The big picture is that we need three wins from eight games to be sure of going up."

Adams will not finalise tonight's starting line-up until examining the state of the Withdean pitch, but 25-goal Bobby Zamora and Danny Cullip definitely return after injury.

"They trained on Saturday and yesterday," Adams said. "They look perfect to me and both will play.

"The decision I have got to make is whether we play 4-4-2 or 4-3-3. A lot will depend on the pitch. I am going to go down to Withdean myself to have a look."

Lincoln-born Steve Melton and former Lincoln loan signing Charlie Oatway are vying for midfield places, while Phil Stant will again be on the bench against the club which sacked him as manager last month.

Darren Freeman will not join Stant among the substitutes.It was yesterday revealed that he requires a third hernia operation, ruling him out for the rest of the season.

Matthew Wicks is expected to make his comeback from persistent hamstring trouble in the reserves at Cheltenham tomorrow at 2.00 pm.
