Agreed BT but as previously you would have to include Arfield on your list, posted previously he has been good for us but our situation isn't the same as it was a couple of seasons ago.

By that I mean , this year we are looking like a team who can survive at this level, however over the last 10 weeks we have been tested to the limit with a injury strewn squad ( it isn't big enough and we don't have quality in depth).

The sentimental attachment to players has to go out of the window this is about being progressive IMO anyway and if you don't move with it you will get left behind.

As for the comment on another post for Arfield above Hendrick I'm not sure tbh about that neither really has enough pace but Hendrick has size and strength where as Scotty has skill and an eye for goal. ( away at Liverpool this season Arfield scored a great goal but then contributed nothing after that - however many would forget the other 75 minutes because of the goal) I think that happens in a lot of games for Scott tbh , whereas Hendrick contributes, all be it workmanlike and without frills etc but gets slated because he doesn't score or contribute enough going forward.

I'm with some of the others on Wells tbh he hasn't really had enough of a chance to put a stamp on a single game so I'll hold judgement on him
