Gingerpele 0 Posted October 2, 2010 Not this season, it''s one of his off seasons (he has them every other season....) maybe next year :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lappinitup 629 Posted October 2, 2010 I miss him too! [:''(][:''(][:''(] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kdncfc 0 Posted October 2, 2010 Definitely not, Barnett and Ward are far better players than Doherty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RichT - The Biscuit 0 Posted October 2, 2010 Give me Ward and Barnett over the Doc any game of the season, much better quality and the right age for our progression Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Controversy 0 Posted October 2, 2010 I''d have him in the squad, yes.Ward and Barnett are both quickly becoming my favourite City players though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jack Barak 46 Posted October 2, 2010 I bet the Doc would have the Doc back in line up, other than him....no one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grantroederdisaster 0 Posted October 2, 2010 I was livid when the Doc was released and still think he''d of done a good job for us this season but hes history where Norwich City FC are concerned now and our current 1st choice CB''s are doing very well!! I would certainly swap him for sicknote Whitbread! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJP 79 Posted October 2, 2010 I like the Doc but then I like Wardy and Barnett as well, they''ve come in and done well together.Are either notably better players than the Doc? Probably not, but they have got a few more years on their side.Imagine if the Doc had clocked up as many yellow cars as Ward has done, given the ball away as many times as he has or given away a freekick leading to a goal (like in the Hull game). He would have been heavily criticised. What would people be saying about our defence after letting in 5 goals in our 2 most recent home games if our defence had Doherty and Nelson in it? Again I think they would have taken considerably more criticism than our current pairing have. Anyway, I''m happy with Ward and Barnett - it''s a fresh start.

WeAreYellows49 0 Posted October 3, 2010 Thanks to him for his years as a NCFC player, but no thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Chops 7 Posted October 3, 2010 Not me. I thought Doc was unfairly scapegoated by many who didn''t see that in our darkest seasons the midfield and the right full back basically abandoned him and left him fighting a lone battle against many away teams. But Ward and Barnett look fantastic as a pairing now Ward is fit.In fact, Lambert''s proving he''s also extremely good in the transfer/loan market and can spot talent - another extremely good aspect of his managerial skills.

dylanisabaddog 4,921 Posted October 3, 2010 [quote user="pennywise "]i always loved the doc and i was livid when he got the boot but just goes to show lambert knows much better than us [:D][/quote] What do you mean, he "knows much better than us"Please don''t include me in your misguided worship of Docherty. He just isn''t up to Championship standard, which is why he didn''t sign for a Championhip club in the summer - no one wanted him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
