He's definitely not on the same level as Saunders, he has an actual track record of sorts for a kick off.
What he can't keep doing is making the same mistakes and expecting different results. If you send that left hand side out with those 2-3 central midfielders (given Edwards played more or less up front in the first half) then I can tell you for nothing that you'll create nothing. If you want to keep it tight and help us keep as many 0s and 1s against then don't pick Doherty because he always costs us goals. If you're working on defensive shape and organisation then it'd be helpful if we actually showed some evidence of that on a Saturday rather than it looking like an U10s team chasing about. If you want to play from the front foot as you suggest then it might be an idea to try keeping the ball rather than just aimlessly hoofing it three foot above Bodvarsson's head.
Options are severely limited at the back given form and general ability - plus it's worthless putting CBJ in there, he isn't going to play for us again - so I'd go:
