The Specky Forum Organiser 63,954 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Backed him when he first signed but he'll never make it here. Dont think that's an overreaction even though he's not been here long, guy's absolutely abysmal when in possession of the football. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 30,287 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Docherty will improve as he is still very young but I feel Arfield, Jack, Rossiter and Dorrans are all ahead of him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Band of Brothers 10,303 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I really hope his game improves as could be a good player and if moulded by Gerrard who knows what level he might hit. Not writing him off just yet. plumbGER 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boaby Bear 411 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 He can only improve which is good for us and him, will he be good enough for us long term? We shall see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
philiprfc 1,799 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I don't think half a season is enough time to make a judgement on a young boy coming from Hamilton - he stood out in a few games and had a few absolute shiters - so did the entire team. Think it's a big season for him and a few others. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiser1041 9,088 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I’ll be holding back on the snidey comments until I see this boy in a team with a proper shape and a decent team around him seems it’s easier to label our players pish that way you can be first to say I told you so Coplandbear11 and plumbGER 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fucking HUGE step up from Hamilton and tbh it'll likely be this pre season before he has the confidence to think he deserves to be here. He might not make it but fuck writing him off already. philiprfc, Billythebear77 and BridgeIsBlue 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember, in the first few games when confidence was high, him dribbling passed players. There's definite talent in there and you'd hope, if anyone was to get that out of him, it'd be Gerrard. His fitness will definitely entice him to the Manager. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the coaching staff said that we want to have a high intensity team on and off the ball, it seems Geerard will follow Klopp with the gegenpressing model. So I wouldn't be surprised if you see Docherty flourishing under Gerrard. ‘Gegenpressing’, I despise modern football & the shitey buzzwords that come with it. Can you no just say high pressing or press as soon as they lose the ball? Gascoigne8 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure mate - he had 2 very good games against Hearts at home and St Johnstone away and then I think the next league game was the 3-2 against them at Ibrox, in which we put him and Goss up against Brown, Ntcham and Rogic... and ever since, the pair of them were fucking shite who should be out the door according to some people. It's nonsense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakbear 3,563 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Apart from the fact that they have done a tonne of ball work , the hard running isn’t just about physical fitness. It’s about mental fitness. That’s what Gullane sands was about too all those years ago We were psychologically weak last season. Get these fucking pussies hardened up. No surrender isn’t just a tagline, it has to be drilled into them with fucking hard work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMckee 3,397 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Remember his passing being poor for a lot of games but his fitness is never in question. Like to see what he can do with a decent pre season with the team and a management team that's competent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,507 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Shame it doesn't actually mean anything about his ability as a footballer. Some of the best midfielders there's ever been probably wouldn't be in the top 5 or even top 10 of these kind of drills. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amokachi 2,926 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Think he’ll be a good squad player this season and will have to cool his heels and use the season as a learning curve as I’m hoping we’ll be signing a solid dependable CM. Didn’t show enough to suggest he’d be a first team pick. Mind you, who did ? The remnants of last season have it all to prove. The improved mentality & atmosphere around the club will hopefully provide them with the platform to do so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
