No idea if it is closed door or not. Seems crazy we're almost back. I know the League Cup games are seen as glorified friendlies by a lot of folk (myself included given how soon they come around) but we really want to do well in it to give us the chance of that financial boost so I'm hoping we have a few more bodies in the door by then. I keep thinking we're going to have a day like a few seasons back where we announced around 5 players on the same day. We at least have a starting 11 just now.

He’s been decent for us playing at centre back and will always pop up with an odd goal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALOREBURNE Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) Todd re-signs. Bit underwhelming but he can be a decent player on his day but please Marv, take that captain band off him.

Priti priti priti Patel Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I read Marvin's comments as he's intending Docherty to be the link player between midfield and attack. A bit of a Dykes rather than a Dobbie. But, yes, we've all been burnt before signing players who've only played at a lower level b/c the manager at the time thinks there's a player there, and it doesn't work out, so hard to feel optimistic. Not necessarily a reflection on the player himself though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was one I’d have wanted when he was doing well at Albion rovers, hopefully a chance at full time can get him going but a bit meh like most signings at moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Positives; he works really hard (probably too hard) and he should be a good footballer. He is a decent size, not slow and runs the channels well. It wouldn't surprise me if he knits everything together at some point. Negatives; held the ball up well for a touch, then took five more and lost the ball. Ended up a net zero in goalscoring (one goal against Clyde, one goal for Clyde). I'm not even sure he had many more efforts on target. Overall, I'm amazed he's going back to L1 but even more amazed there's a fee involved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakeyman Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I've followed Queens for a number of years now and throughout that time I've seen players arrive who were thought to be brilliant signings only to flop miserably and others that sounded poor signings become well liked so I for one am not going to judge any player util I've seen them play a few games for us. I don't know what some here expect, we are team who for the past few seasons have been going nowhere and geographically not best situated to induce signings. Perhaps MB has tried for better players but been priced out of the market. As always looking forward to the start of the new season and hoping the manager has found some gems that gel together as a team. If after few games and results are poor I will happily join the half glass empty brigade. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slipmat Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) I can't say that I've heard of Doherty, and a career total of 14 goals in 93 appearances in the lower leagues from a guy who seems to wear the number 9 shirt isn't exactly inspiring, but he looks quite... erm... chunky... so maybe he has been signed to give a physical presence in a kind of Derek Holmes or (shudder) Innes Cameron role. Paying a fee and giving him a 2 year deal is certainly eye-brow raiser though, but "In Marv We Trust" and all that.

Dougie Mills Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 To say the Clyde fans feedback on Doherty is underwhelming is an understatement! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QoS99 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Hopefully Todd can be more of a squad player this year rather than starting every game. Also feel slightly underwhelmed going off Clyde fans reactions to the signing of Doherty. Going by one of the tweets look as though there could be another in the door today hopefully. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
