tom1902 0 Posted April 26, 2010 yes - i dont like himbut you are obviously biased for doherty hence youre dpso in truth neither of us are neutralyou are full of cr*p blaming other players for his mistakes - this argument works both ways Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Northamptonncfc 0 Posted April 26, 2010 Excellent in League One but not Championship standard, too slow and immobile we need quick centrebacks next season. Doherty can make me anxious as he looks nervous and panic stricken when things don''t go his way, that pass back against Tranmere being a prime example of Doherty being nervous. We''re up against quicker and technically gifted forwards next season, we need to have people who can cope with them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tom1902 0 Posted April 26, 2010 morty are you implying that i dont go to matches?do you really think i would have such a strong opinion if i didnt go to matches?im willing to bet ive see us play a lot more than you this season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grantroederdisaster 0 Posted April 26, 2010 [quote user="tom1902"]again ! my point isnt that he shouldnt get a new contract just that he hasnt performed at championship level for us and should i now refer to you as a doherty lover[/quote] Are you for real - probably a nieve school boy I suspect? The Doc since relegation from the Premiership was one of our better performers over a number of seasons. Indeed he got player of the season in 05/06 and last season was better than Croft who got player of the season! Whilst I agreed with messrs Holt and Hoolahan getting in the League 1 team of the season, I was more pleased for the Doc cause after all the rubbish sprouted by the Doc haters, it was good to see people who know more about the Doc than any of us (players who''ve played against him!) vote him as one of the 2 best CB''s in this Division! Like I''ve said a few times in recent weeks - show me a better CB in League 1! I think both the Doc and Nelson are capable of doing a job for us in the Championship although obviously it''ll be harder! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Northamptonncfc 0 Posted April 26, 2010 I''ve been to quite a lot of games Morty, but it hardly takes a footballing genius to work out Doc''s a yard or two off the pace for dealing with Championship forwards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Northamptonncfc 0 Posted April 26, 2010 Of course not but they still need to have some form of pace to keep up with them over a some distance, forcing them off the pace slightly and buying time for other defenders to get back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I''m confident that the Doc hasonly gained in confidence etc. since Lambrt took over and I have no worries about that not continuing into the championship. In reference to the original comment by tom; what''s wrong with being a Doc lover? After all he is one of the clubs loyalist, most long serving players...
