Gary Doherty - jet-heeled defender

Recommended Posts

Let''s see how long it takes for someone to include "too slow" in their list of Doc''s weaknesses, which is the standard sort of tick-box criticism of any unfashionable CB. And then we can point out that he was in a foot-race with Nathan Tyson - one of the fastest forwards in the Division - at least twice yesterday and finished ahead. Mighty Gary Doherty!Mind you, he also nearly gave a goal away with a horrible back-pass.....

Indeed, the Doc is pretty quick across the turf. Never sure why so many people seem to think he''s slow. Just ignorant criticism, I guess.

Ignorant criticism indeed built on a perception around his size and willingness to beleive what they are told by others without assessing for themselves; 

At last people are beginning to appreciate what doc brings to this team,  rather than obsessing about his shortfalls and inventing others to go with them.
