I feel we can replace Doc as imo he wasn't really anything special Ayr have yet to find a replacement for Docherty. Don’t kid yourself - he might not be flashy, but players like him don’t grow on trees at our level. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 (edited) It’s not that I don’t think we could possibly get better than all three (particularly Doc and Holt, although I think the former is massively underrated by a section of our support). I’m mostly just anxious as it’s another couple of players we’ll need to replace who were clearly good players at this level. I do trust Doolan as a manager, but the fact remains that he’s completely untested in the transfer market or on his ability to spot a player. On the Holt to Cyprus thing, I’m pretty sure their transfer window opens later than ours so it could still be true. Who knows though, and if he goes elsewhere in Scotland for more money then fair play to him.

Don’t kid yourself - he might not be flashy, but players like him don’t grow on trees at our level. This is definitely true IMO, as much as I think it can be easy to pass Docherty off as a fairly standard championship midfielder, he's exactly the type of player you noticeably miss when he's not in the team. I'm not convinced he's up to a consistent Premiership standard but at this level can be an asset who we may well (like Ayr) struggle to replace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docherty was underrated by a section of the Ayr support too. Only when he moved on did the penny drop, especially as we’ve had about 6 attempts at finding an able replacement and still haven’t found one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're going to be disappointed when Dundee United unveil Docherty and Holt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reid Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 The 3 of them leaving was expected but it’s still a kick in the stones, especially if they end up at other teams within this league. Whilst Holt and Docherty aren’t spectacular, they’re both very good at this level. Turner had been hit and miss until Doolan came in but he’s shown what he’s capable of since them and been tremendous. Replacing those 3 with a reduced budget will be extremely difficult. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
third lanark Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 1 hour ago, JagsCG said: Would imagine, Docherty and Turner will be playing in the Premiership next season, especially the latter. Doesn't seem like the Holt Cyprus rumour was true, but could easily see him rocking up at Tannadice. As others have said, this news isn't in any way a surprise, and I'm actually more surprised Sneddon isn't yet away. Kris Doolan seems to suggest we might see a new face or two by the end of this week which would be a bit of a lift to go with the positive ST sales. He doesn’t say anything about new faces coming in - more that a couple of the out of contract players will sign new deals- I’m guessing Bannigan. But they are not new faces. A bit of a lift? Are any signings going to be as good as the 4 that left. Who knows but it will be a big ask 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn’t explicitly say either or, I was perhaps being optimistic that “working around the clock” to be “securing deals with players who want to play for Partick Thistle” also presumed some new players on the horizon too, as well as those who may sign new deals. 10 minutes ago, third lanark said: A bit of a lift?

He’s a player you notice the difference he makes more when he’s not playing, as it leaves gaping holes in the team. I believe he has the best PPG of all the players in the squad this year. Most gutted about Turner though, we could have built a team round him. A really classy player 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagsCG Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 (edited) (As some had suggested) that's Docherty been confirmed at United. So we'll see him again rather soon. Edited June 19, 2023 by JagsCG 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highlandmagar Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 As we are looking for the club to get onto a secure financial footing, I expect and accept a difficult season may lie ahead. Anything better to the contrary would be pleasant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some fans never took to him from the outset. Entitled to their opinion of course. Never understood it myself. I'd class him as a good guy and a good player at this level. Personally I wish him all the best...wait a minute...Dundee United the f@#£&#&# Seriously, I do wish him as best I can, to an opposing team's player.
