A couple of seasons ago i had serious reservations about the Doc, but this season he has done the business, and was brilliant in the two games i''ve seen him play (which of course you wouldn''t know about).

I think it''s sad that some people make a deliberate effort to have a go at particular players who are more affected by criticism. Its just playground bully-syndrome - you don''t see anyone have a go at other players anywhere near as much and i think part of it is because doc is seen as an easy target.i for one think he is already a great city player who i hope will be at the club for many years to come.

south of the border 0 Posted February 2, 2008 An argument in the defence of gary doherty - whilst under the management of peter grant I think doc''s confidence was very low, however, since glen roeder has been in charge his game has improved mainly because he is a confidence player, his reading of the game is better, he hardly ever misses a header, some of the tackles and blocks he gets in are impressive, did you see how well he handled steve howard in the leicester game howard hardly touched the ball because doc was there first!! he is brave to a fault and always gives 100% to the team nothing less, his two main faults are; as we all know, his distribution out of defence leaves a bit to be desired and if he does get turned by a player with pace then he does have a problem making up the lost ground and tends to foul the player hopefully before any damage is done!! However, malky mackay and going back even further duncan forbes neither of them were exactly quick but they did not have to take the ''stick'' that gary doherty has had to but would you question their committment....no because that''s what got them through the game at times, like doc. Obviously doc does not commarnd the team like malky, big dunc or dion he is not that type of person.What can not be denied is that gary doherty has been an integral part of the teams recent upturn in form and results, has the teams'' form dipped since the departure of tiny taylor?......no. As for ''certain'' posters comments - how can they be so critical of a player that by their own admission they have not seen play recently? and then threaten to be abusive to them if they met them in the street? Obviously enjoys the attention that is atracted by being very out spoken!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
