I think the line up at Blackburn could be close to our first choice team away from home with Jones becoming the holding player.
I suspect that at home, Fessi will replace Jones to give us a more attacking edge, subject to injuries etc.
Buckley has looked good in short cameos but still has to do more to establish himself as a first choice regular. Wallace has proved to be a match winner both at home & away but struggles to do it over 90 minutes. My view is that he tends to start well than fade, which makes him a good starter at home for about an hour and a decent impact substitute in away matches when we need a goal.
I think we (as fans) have to forget the transfer fees and wages of players in comparing them. Abdi & "Herbie" might cost us big money but they add to our squad and are there when required even if they play much less than the likes of Fletcher, Lee & Bannan.
One of our strengths should be that we should be affected less than most teams by injuries, suspensions & fixture congestion as the season progresses and shouldn't hit bad runs like some other teams. Hooper is a goal scorer but he won't score while sat on the bench. He looks to be linking well with Fletcher, hence why he played ahead of Fessi on Tuesday.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
