CoatbridgeBear 7,113 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Is he in the plans ? Personally I don’t think he’s anywhere near what’s needed and would be happy to let him go. Further down the pecking order now King’s signed aswell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docherty couldn't lace Rossiter's boots in my opinion but that is another topic completely. He is a good guy, Rangers supporter with great work ethic but skill wise no where near what is required. I was surprised at his inclusion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCDBigBear 10,825 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 He will improve further. He has looked better since his loan spell at Shrewsbury. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersonic 4,654 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I'd imagine he's in the plans since Gerrard said he's in the plans as recently as yesterday. He'll get plenty time across the season. King coming in doesn't change that to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcusDa Beasley 1,035 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Noticed he was getting grief from the crowd after a mistake tonight. And our general play dipped around the time he came on. I don’t think he’s good enough at the moment but he’s only made about a dozen appearances (with about half(?)of those in a below average Rangers team). BUT, he’s still young. As centre midfielders go, I think he’s got a bit of everything though and it would be mental to write him off at this stage. Wee guy’s got a great attitude and with a bit of guidance from Gerrard/ Davis etc I’m confident we’ll have a player on our hands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought our play dipped more as a result of not having Jack on rather than how Docherty played which shows how good Jack has been.Think he’d have slotted in better if either of the other midfielders were subbed for him.

We became casual and got careless at times. It wasn't Docherty to blame for that as he came on after 68 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBearButt 3,627 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I like that he doesn't shite out of 50 50 tackles like Davis but that's about all the kid has going for him. He is a battler. Another loan move would be wise. Preferably in the spl to a team like hearts so we can see how he progresses against our opposition teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingKirk 25,647 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I think our current starting 11 gives Walter Smith's last season's team a right good game. That's how highly I rate our first team doc has zero chance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMax399 3,704 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 He’s improved, but is the least capable of all our MF. I haven’t seen King from Leicester play previously, but would imagine his arrival pushes Doc another place down the order. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

siamthedanger 2,855 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Yeah I could see him going back on loan. He's a unit but just lacks that bit of quality on the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
