Another goal at the weekend and some rave reviews about his performances down south.
I get that playing League 1 for Shrewsbury isnt the same as competing for titles or playing in Europe for Rangers but he is really catching the eye on loan.
I though Docherty looked terrific when he came into the Rangers team at first - he is a really powerful athlete and a good footballer. He then just seemed to lose focus and was trying to do far too much. In the end he became a bit of a headless chicken under Murty.
I think with his experience down south and the right coaching and guidance upom his return he can become a key player for us. With his all action style he actually reminds me a bit of a young Scott Brown - but with a better goal threat and a bit of intelligence about him.
Gerrard himself or someone like Davis would be ideal to talk him through games and settle on his best role in the team. For me he just needs to focus on what he is best at and establish himself in that type of role.
Whats folks thoughts on his future with us?

I thought he looked brutal last year and nothing even remotely resembling a footballer tbh.
Doing well at a scheidt team like Shrewsbury is probably his level in all truth. Maybe we'll recoup our money selling him down south.

He has championship teams sniffing about him so I don't think we would have much bother getting our money back.
Brutal is harsh IMO.
He is young and raw but is the stand out for Shrewsbury in League 1 so there is every suggestion that he can be effective at a higher level as he matures and learns the game.
As I say I though he looked like he had cracking potential when he came into the Gers team at first. He deffo tried to do far too much though and ended up getting a bit lost.

Not a player who will make a difference....maybe he has found his level and good luck to him...if someone offer a decent price for him then I would snap it up and use elsewhere

I think Rossitter will be out on loan by the end of the week.

Apparently Wishaw General and Hairmyers are locked in a bidding war.

I would hope he's given a chance.
Coulibaly is only a loan and realistically any chance of us making that permanent seems to have gone. Docherty would seem perfect for that role, getting about the pitch hassling and supporting forward and back.
Not sure how many he's actually scored for them but it feels like a few and goals from centre midfield is an area we need to improve.
The acid test will be pre-season.

Fair enough, football is all about opinions.
Personally I think he's not good enough for us and haven't seen anything to suggest he will be.

John Fleck linked with a £4m move to West Ham today.
Has done well for himself down south - stuck at it and worked his way up the leagues.
I think if Docherty can find the role he excels at and smooths off the rough edges from his game he could do similar.
Hope he gets a chance with us.

Strange one docherty. Built a good rep at Hamilton but once he cane to us he just seemed to charge about without doing much. On fire for Shrewsbury.
Should get a chance start of next season and see how it goes. Problem is, we Have loads of midfielders so might not get that chance
