Ms what did you think about Jones and buckley ? personaly i think Jones is top quality and should always play but buckley who hasnt played bad is mr average in my book !!

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.
