Docherty has great potential, but again, is he wanting to now settle for championship football ? Look how many seasons it's taken Devlin to finally become a quality player.
I assume you're talking about Crawford, who has 10, 5 and so far, in the last 3 seasons. My point is that the players who get '10' goals from midfield in the Premiership played a few years in the Championship before stepping up a league. Who's to say what our current u20s will be like if they got the same opportunity? McMann didn't look much use at the turn of this year, far less a season or two ago, and now he's a regular who's missed when he doesn't play.
On Docherty etc settling for Championship football, who exactly do they think they should be playing for? Ross County? Motherwell? They've still got a lot to prove in my eyes, currently in a team which is quite rightly struggling in 11th and haven't performed at all for 90% of the season. If teams weren't bidding on our best player (Ali) a season or two ago when he was on the top of his game and we were top of the league, I can't see folk banging down the door now.
Anyway, hopefully if it does end up a playoff we can get through it and it renders all this irrelevant!
