Canaries4ever 0 Posted September 26, 2004 I can''t stand people who are against Doherty as he trys his best even though he is not a natural striker which we need to buy in the summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moanin Riverender 0 Posted September 26, 2004 Which begs the question...WHY did we buy him ? We used our paltry transfer kitty on him when we should have got a REAL striker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fluff 0 Posted September 26, 2004 No its not his fault, but people knock him because he is plainly no good up there, so why doesnt he express this as is his right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
henners 0 Posted September 26, 2004 I must admit i am not too impressed with the Doc as yet, and i disagree with your point saying he tries his best as you will see in my comments below. I know he apparently is a more accomplished defender than he is striker. I hope for our sake this is true or i am afraid this signing will prove to be a big waste of money. Harsh but true. I just cannot see what he brings to the attack. He does not hold up the ball well. when he does lay it off it seems always to go to the opposition. He does not close down or run about much and most importantly he does not score goals. I was at Liverpool yesterday and he was quite frankly useless. When the supporters got what they had been calling throughout the first half for and Leon Mckenzie was put on at half time we actually looked lively up front. He was attacking every ball. Winning headers and causing the Liverpool defense problems. Now he has proven to be a finisher and should be given his chance at this level. We cannot afford to keep persisting with Doherty up front when he is clearly not good enough. You will probably slate me for this but i am entitled to an opinion and i feel it is one many agree with.

ZLF 350 Posted September 27, 2004 I am sure Worthy signed him as a defender but the form of Flem and Charlton as a pair has meant he cant play in his normal position.What does it say about Worthys faith in the rest of the clubs strikers though? cos it is clear that the doc is not up to the task as a prem striker.OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
