    Is he a bit rusty? Touch seems way off it at the moment. To be fair he seems a good leader and more of a natural captain than Dobbo.

    I think Jones is tasking him with a bit more attacking responsibility than he's done before (as he did with Dobson, so there's precedent), so I would put it down to him still adjusting somewhat to a new role. I'm sure he'll get better with time.

    Think he was better yesterday than he was at Wigan where he was much more of a number 10. Berry being more advanced worked better, and I’m sure that will be the first choice midfield now. 

    If we ever do go with Anderson and Docherty again like at Wigan I’d prefer Anderson to be most advanced

    Kinsella / Holland type of player, I like him a lot! Very good captain 
  • Have his family not moved down with him?

    He mentions his wife and boy coming "all the way down to support me".

    Maybe they are still sorting stuff out, maybe still trying to sell their house, even if they have sold it’ll be close to 3 months for completion, or maybe they are just settled where they are and not moving down south with him.

  • An actual captain ! 
  • I work with Doc's brother-in-law here in Perth. I checked in with him on this as I picked up on the same thing. Brother-in-law has confirmed that Doc's wife and son have moved down to Sarf London. The reference is to family (parents) coming down to the game. 
    Hope he's managed to find a School for his Son
  • I like this fella , can’t beat a tough nut jock in your team ready to go to battle 
    which reminds me the old firm match at 12.30 today , a must watch !

    What is he good at? Embarrassing performance today, lucky to not be sent off

    He’s been anonymous in a few games this season. Definitely not captain material.
  • They’re all shit let’s face it 
    no point in even thinking any of them are good 
    half decent at best

    4 games I’ve seen the fella live  (Bar the Bolton game) and I don’t see the fuss. At least Jones had the minerals to bring him off today

    I genuinely don’t know what his role is. He’s just kind of….there.

    Coventry apart that sums up our entire midfield. 
    Not shit 
    Not great

    I assume you mean Alice Kinsella and Jools Holland?!?!?
  • It’s the same shit every year. We ship out a load of players each summer & replace them with other shit players.

    Is Ahadme any better than Connor Wickham?
    Is Docherty any better than Albie Morgan?
    Is Alan Campbell any better than Louis Watson?
    Is Gillesphey any better than Terrell Thomas?
    Is REG any better than Hector?

    Honestly don’t think there is much difference in many of the above changes (some look much worse than what we had previously!)

    We just go round and round recycling players that are not good enough to get us out of this league.

    I agree with most of what you say and the comparisons are valid. How about comparing Docherty or Campbell with Terry Taylor? Taylor had a very competent display on Tuesday but doesn’t get a sniff in the league squad. Nathan Jones needs to explain.

    Noticed Karoy more in his cameo than I noticed Docherty all game. The guy has been largely anonymous.

    I honestly didn't think he touched the ball until the 40th minute. He was atrocious.

    He is a lot 'steadier' than expected. 

    L Jones is really playing like I expected our captain to do so...vocal, putting his head/foot in where it hurts, hunting for goals when near the opposition goal. 

    Coventry, Doherty and Campbell all look like they're made to play the exact same role. Playing both (the latter two) in an advanced position isn't really working, hence their basic decision-making and execution in the final third.
