I’d day it’s more of a cover option not a starter.😂😂😂

Does he then come before, in the middle or after our other 2 natural right backs in Flanagan and Poulster?

Could be the answer at left back imo.

Big, strong and good engine to get up and down flank.

prefer my left backs to be left footed

I’d say he’s a utility player, who could play right back, anywhere across the midfield. It offers multiple options.

Would also say he’s better than polster imo

He's takin the cunt. Just like he prefers no doubt his right backs to be right backs.

Or when Morelos is suspended he could stand in as the lone striker. Solid and would not give defenders peace for 90 mins.

The abuse he took on here when he just signed was way below par imo, cunts saying he can't run properly and looks more like an athlete than a footballer. 

Wit?

Think it all started when one guy said it in a match thread and cunt’s just started repeating it.  We’ve had  “Tav can’t defend” & “Docherty’s just an athlete”. Can’t wait for the season to start and hear what the latest parroted nonsense will be.

Everyone seems excited by the signing of Aribo.  Docherty is the same age, scored the same amount of goals last season in the same league, got more assists and this was playing for a team battling relegation instead of chasing promotion. Should definitely be given a chance.

It’s a joke mate.

 

Flanagan has that left back position sewn up..,

It is nice that he can run 12k a game but has his football improved? That's what I want to see. A RB option basically means he never plays.

Maurice Edu was very much similar to Doc in that he covered some impressive distances. Some took to Edu and others constantly slated him. Needless to say Edu played his part in quite a successful team because our manager at the time knew how to use him effectively. I think Doc has a little more creative ability than Edu but going by some of the critism he gets on here, you might think he is no better than the players we have just released. I hope the boy does well as, like the article suggests, his attitude is spot on.

I'm sitting on the fence with Doc until I see him second time around. First time suggested to me that Dorrans ( I know ,fitness ) , McCrorie & Rossiter are better but maybe he has improved. We will see......... Edu took some abuse on here. I thought he was decent.

I think he's going to be a big player for us this year...

Spot on. I like the lad and honestly believe he’s got plenty to offer, it wasn’t easy for him last time and let’s get it right, he didn’t excel but was in a team who didn’t excel as a whole but for whatever reason he got picked out for being shite. 

I think personally he’ll do well this coming season when needed. 

[bluenoz 30,588]

I'm going to predict he plays a blinder tomorrow because he will be trying like fuck in knowing he won't be starting on Tuesday.

If we look at the detail though, Aribos overall form last season was stand out and widely reported to be much too good for the league. He also had a multitude of clubs after him (including EPL clubs) and will be one of our highest earners.

Also, Docherty was actually very inconsistent last season and he plays further forward, so should have scored more etc.

Are you having a laugh? I’ve just talked up one of our own players, Aribo.

Very inconsistent? Did not he win a clean sweep of their awards? 🤣

Sash is right. EPL teams were after Aribo. He is on a huge salary for a reason. Docherty might be able to run all day but skill wise, no way.

He did and overall he did very well, but he still had trouble finding consistency.
