Murty Not Dropping Docherty

[Bates Baby]

Pleasantly surprised by this.. be honest who else thought Holt was going straight back into the starting 11 after his suspension? Murty to his credit stuck with Docherty & it paid off big time today so well done for that.

Still think he's leaving it too late to make subs however & bringing off the wrong players.. but probably a debate for another thread!

 

[insanicdrunk]

I wasnt surprised tbh. After the performance last week he was always starting. He had to build on that performance, and he did.

 

[Papasmurf]

Same as bates. Would have been easy to
Drop him (or martin) for Alves.

Growing into the role imo.

 

[Calgacus]

There'll be changes in midweek, but the jersey is basically Doc's to lose now.
I thought Candeias was MOTM today but Docherty was outstanding.

 

[Ally’s Golden Boot]

How must that laddie feel tonight after walking off to that ovation today?

He’s living every single person on this boards dream. F()ck, I’m 43 and I still go to sleep at night thinking about playing for Rangers

He’s f()cking brilliant

 

[Rodney Wallace]

Thought that was pretty good man management for Murty keeping him in the team...

I'm 48 this year, it doesn't go away

 

[Crocodile Dundee]

Docherty was excellent but Murphy for me was the best man on the pitch, you can see he's got his match fitness now as he's one of our best performers.

 

[JD1872]

Was a bit surprised but Murty has seen Docherty in training all week and is clearly impressed with him

 

[Ally’s Golden Boot]

Thankfully not mate!

He said post match along the lines wont make change to appease fans - believes lettting those starting to do their job.

 

[Jaws II]

Let’s be honest they all played well today apart from Windass who was pretty poor.

 

[perthtrueger]

Wouldn’t have been too happy had docherty not started, gives us a bit of oomph in midfield

 

[Jacrispy]

Been very vocal about how I don’t want Murty beyond this season but you have to give credit where it’s due.

He’s shown a bit of backbone and hasn’t allowed Miller to swan back in either.

 

[DJ Blue]

The issue will be is once McCrorie / Jack / Dorrans come back who drops out.

 

[spirit_of_93]

Murphy its clear is Rangers class top player.

Young Docherty will get there too I hope, looks very promising.

 

[Gazzabear]

Let’s be honest they all played well today apart from Windass who was pretty poor.

He was definitely the only one who struggled for pass marks, but he was involved in the game (got to be there to miss those chances), he put Naismith on his arse and that free kick at the end just before the goal was superb, great save from keeper.

In short, let's keep the positivity going a little longer.......

 

[insanicdrunk]

It will depend on the game and who is playing well at the time.

By the time you get to 58 it doesn’t change.

 

[Swinton Ger]

I’m 54 and if I could go back to my teens and play for Rangers once then I would have to die.......what a decision to make. Think I’d settle for a place on the bench if the good lord gave me a bit of extra time

 

[Talktalk]

Let’s be honest they all played well today apart from Windass who was pretty poor.

Windass didn’t play bad mate his movement off the ball was superb especially in the first half where he was made load of room which allowed John and Docherty free runs into the box.

 

[artificialintoleranz]

I would go with youth looking at that. Neither McCrorie or Jack will let you down.

That is not a slight on Dorrans but the youngsters are doing better than fine. I would supplement youth with experience only when required.

We have a team of young Rangers fans and the place is buzzing, fark it, lets go with it and see where we end up.

 

[sammysun]

The doc played first class today long may it continue, this young guy is the find of the season for the club, I am talking about the way we went about scouting and assessing him and moving in for him in the January window, a few weeks later he is running our midfield and is improving with better players around him.

 

[Govanfront]

Nice dilemma.

 

[Boldvale]

55 and still think I have a chance.

 

[Slickrick]

Credit where it is due as I was expecting Hearts to copy Hibs blue print but we where excellent from the first whistle. Docherty was huge and excelllent from start until he was subbed. Great decision from Murty.

 

[ChiefWahoo]

Been very vocal about how I don’t want Murty beyond this season but you have to give credit where it’s due.

He’s shown a bit of backbone and hasn’t allowed Miller to swan back in either.

And yet in the reverse fixture Murty was being accused of letting Miller pick the team.

I agree with you.

Be able to rotate the squad a bit more, which decreases the chance of injuries & suspensions and have double the strength for big games. Bring on the Tims

 

[Detective Vic Mackey]

Docherty is clearly a better player than Holt.

Holt should be a squad player. Nothing more.

 

[Grimsdale]

By the time you get to 58 it doesn’t change.

Ditto.

 

[Ruben Sosa]

To be honest, Docherty is a huge upgrade on Holt, who has a great attitude but lacks that bit of power and creativity that Docherty has.

 

[William]

I'm 70 and still waiting for my chance.

 

[SE5]

Holt will struggle to get that place back - can see him being in the same position he was today (coming on as a sub) for a fair chunk of whats left of the season

 

[wsb&warmy]

Docherty looked like he was struggling with a niggle before he went off. Looked like he was stretching his calf before the substitution. Hopefully nothing serious and he's back in the starting 11 next Sunday but I expect Holt to replace him in the starting 11 on Tuesday.

 

[George Goudie]

I think Murty subbed him for the standing ovation her knee he would receive.

To reinforce his wise management decision and remind the support that they don't manage the team....


.... Thank Fúck!

It's fecking were.

One can dream William.

We truly are the people

 

[Jjbscotty]

Docherty was my MOM today he is a far superior player than holt.

 

[del68]

I though Docherty was outstanding today and he will only get better.

 

[SashBash]

Let’s be honest they all played well today apart from Windass who was pretty poor.

Maybe praise is due for the young boy, diehard bear that has to come into adapt

 

[Lainey Love]

Windass didn’t play bad mate his movement off the ball was superb especially in the first half where he was made load of room which allowed John and Docherty free runs into the box.

That's the most sensible post on the the thread about JW, especially as it's supposed be about GM not dropping Docherty

 

[GranvillusClutterbuckus]

...F()ck, I’m 43 and I still go to sleep at night thinking about playing for Rangers ...

I do it in my waking hours as well.

44 years old (going on 45), and it's not so much air guitar i do as air football (though within the running)

 

[cw3038]

Docherty is young with lots more to give,fine game yesterday.
