graeme_4 34,375 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Nah he’s no where near good enough technically. Hard worker, but pish. Isn’t at the level of any of our other midfielders. Can teach some things, but can’t coach touch or composure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
beararse 6,366 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Get him loaned out to an SPL team. Same as Middleton deal. Strengthen the opposition v the Tims and weaken the team we face AND he gets more experience in our league rather than strolling it with Shrewsbury.

TheMotor 2,208 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I like him but he isn't the finished article yet. Played one great pass down the inside left channel when he came on then lost control a couple of times. He has the attitude and the energy but not the ability to back those up yet. I'd like to see him stay and develop under Gerrard this season. There are games where his energy and attitude will be good in a destroyer role to hound and harass other teams late on. If he does develop and helps out in 15-20 games, great. If not, move him on next year while he is still young and can make a career for himself elsewhere.

DrLaudrup 4,569 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 The best way to blood young players is to not have to rely on them - too often in recent years we have had so little quality we have been hanging everything on some youngsters coming through which puts massive pressure on them. I don't think Doherty is good enough to start yet but the ideal situation for him is to come off the bench when we are 2 up in games and he gets a chance to express himself with less pressure. In that way having quality players ahead of him can actually help his development as it protects him more, provided he is prepared to work hard on his attitude and fitness and take the chances he gets.

JograBear 1,072 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 He was one of our best players in the full game he played. Then he comes on as a late sub when the whole team wasn't playing as well. Made a very nice defense splitting pass. Couple of miscontrols and he suddenly isn't good enough. Some people need to lighten up and give players a chance to progress and improve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangersross 6,530 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Of all the teams playing in the Europa qualifiers this season, I doubt if there are more than a handful who have a set of starting central midfielders who are harder to displace than ours, so it might well be better for him to go out on loan again for 6-12 months.

southcoastbear 1,639 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Poor lad has a bad time being subbed out for Jack which is not his game and some want him gone. No wonder we cant bring young players into the first team. Totally different player to Rossiter IMO, so I dont get the comparison Nearest player you could compare to Docherty is Arfield and if he is given the opportunity in this sort of position I think the lad will prosper. Dont think the shape of the team suits either of these two tbh and both have struggled played in a deeper role Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven33jackie 1,917 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Hard to judge him given his lack of game time. We went a bit flat after he and Jones came on and he couldn't seem to find any space. Is that down to his overall capabilities or lack of games ? He also had a chance of a shot near the end but opted to play the ball wide, lacking confidence for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docherty is a trier and fair play to the boy but he's nowhere near the likes of Davis , Aribo or Arfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassaaaa 11,406 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I like him and he looks a better player after his loan but I dont think hes going to get the chances he needs to show Gerrard how good he could be.

They Gnu 11,553 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 He breaks up the opposition play well, at Shrewsbury he proved he has a shot and he’s improving generally. Thing is once some have branded him a dud they’d rather he failed than Rangers profited from his play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trueblueal 2,117 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 He won't make it as a midfielder here or at similar level elsewhere. He might make a decent right wingback. He's fit, strong, a proper athlete, can drive up the park and likes a tackle but he doesn't have the guile to play in the centre of the pitch. I can see him going on loan in January and if Rossiter is fit and playing every week to that point bring him back as midfielder no 6 and give him another year. He's a much better prospect long term and fitness is his only issue which he seems to be overcoming Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blues 375 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Let’s see how he does from the start against East Fife. Same goes for Greg Stewart and the other centre backs. Captain should be Halliday at left back with Flanagan at right back. Wingers Brendon and Hastie. A good subs if they are not 5-0 up at half time😁 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
