Old Boy 0 Posted December 29, 2008 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..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pickle 0 Posted December 29, 2008 notice that on one of the occasions he started off behind tyson and still beat him to the ball. however tyson then did go off holding his leg??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJP 79 Posted December 29, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 261 Posted December 29, 2008 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.
