blahblahblah 2 Posted October 12, 2007 This would be the same Gary Doherty that Dion Dublin is quoted as saying has been our player of the season so far ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellowfuture 71 Posted October 12, 2007 [quote user="topoftheleague"]With the arrival of Hartson, this will probably mean Dublin will play centreback which should mean the end for Dotherty!!!!!!!!!![/quote]Player of the season not long ago. Not a great player but one of the better ones in the squad that we have. That speaks volumes in itself but I am fed up with fans, particularly the idiot who sits in front of me slagging Doc off. Our problem is getting forward and scoring goals, the probems do not stem from Gary Doherty.He makes mistakes like anyone else but overall he does not deserve the stick he gets from the cretin element in the crowd and he does not deserve a stupid post like this!

O.T.B.C 0 Posted October 12, 2007 Give him a break, one of better performers this season, thats not saying too much but jesus does the man try and for me I like that. The annoying thing for me with him, is that he can be really great one day and pants another day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Norwich R Us 59 Posted October 13, 2007 yes considering 95% of the last 6 games have been played in our half our defence has done extremely well not have let in 200!Centre midfield is STILL our problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Macca 0 Posted October 13, 2007 I agree Dotherty has been one of our top performers. It says it all as far as our team has come, we all know the level of football he plays, for him to be the top performer tells a story in its self.We are a shambles, titus bramble would look like john terry in out side.... he is a championship defender, he should never venture further.....ever..

FilletTheFishWife . 0 Posted October 13, 2007 I''m not Doherty''s biggest fan but he was probably our best player over the course of 3 matches (Charlton, Wolves & SW). Its funny how Dion can kick an aimless ball upfield to no-one and be cheered whilst Doherty does the same and is jeered. Not slagging off Dion - as I accept in some ways he is better - but it shows the double-standards that prevail among the neanderthals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]Or Ian Murray - Get your facts right!Apart from that you are right.Murray''s challenge was ridiculous, nowhere near the ball, just a wild leg kicked in the air as if he was doing the can-can! If that had been the Doc can you imagine the post''s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted October 14, 2007 i agree with some of the posts above... Shacks looks like the dodgy one... Doc plays well when alongside Dion and since shacks has been out of the side we have seen some excellent performances from the Doc... is it a confidence thing knowing he has to bail shacks out of trouble???? the new manager will decide both players fatesjas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mason 47 1,379 Posted October 14, 2007 These ''aimless balls'' were kicked into the middle of nowhere between their defence and just outside the zone the keepers are willing to come for it. And when was this done? When we were under pressure and needed a chance to get the defence up. Dohertys kicks often arent for this reason, usually when not under pressure and trying to play a 60yd crossfield pass that isnt needed. Thats the difference.The ''clumsy manhandling oaf'' tag comes from the fact that almost every one of the penalties he gives away (which is the majority) are basically for the same bad challenge. Murray had every right to go for that ball against QPR and it could have gone both ways. Can you honestly say Doherty was doing anything right with his challenge on McLeod at Charlton?

[/quote]I don''t believe that challenge on McLeod was a pen Bucketman. But you are right, there wasn''t anything right about the challenge. The Doc should never have gone to ground, it was an error of judgement much the same as Shackell going to ground and allowing Windass to cross for the 2nd goal at Hull. These errors of judgement throughout the team are the reason we are where we are in the league.What other penalties (The Majority?) has Doherty given away?

blacko 0 Posted October 15, 2007 We might be in the mire but our defensive record is good. So who do you think contributes to it. Support the team, don''t slag people off needlessly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
