Dykes averages a goal involvement every 205.4 minutes, Adams every 209 minutes and Hirst every 299 minutes. Stewart has only amassed 34 minutes of action in his two Scotland appearances and has not managed a goal, or an assist.For a long time, Shankland was viewed as simply a goal scorer. Not a bad reputation to have, but the sense was he was lacking in the other areas that Clarke in particular values so highly – work rate, occupying a…
