Brizzle Jordan Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Club number 8... Bristol City should of been his only club. Cant believe he's still only 32.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calculus Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Guess this means that he'll be able to resume his unforgettable midfield partnership with Joe Burnell. Oh, the hours spent we all spent on this forum arguing the merits/de-merits of that particular arrangement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hippo Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Simon Clist or Joe Burnell in midfield? both careers have gone downhill since leaving us as well as the Doc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tins Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Simon Clist or Joe Burnell in midfield? both careers have gone downhill since leaving us as well as the Doc. There isn't many players whose careers have gone uphill after. We have arguably the best players we've ever had at the moment, so to improve we are getting in better players, therefore players like Doc aren't good enough and getting older, and their careers will decline.

Best players we've ever had? I disagree. We have a couple of very good players at this level, the rest are very average and hopefully a fair few of them will be on the move in the summer.

My point is most of our players can walk into the team we had in league 1. IMO Doc back in the day is nowhere near as good as Cisse is now.

TRL Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 I did say arguably. My point is most of our players can walk into the team we had in league 1. IMO Doc back in the day is nowhere near as good as Cisse is now. Completely different players, but both blowing chunks at about the 70 minute mark. A Tommy D completely commited not smoking, not drinking would be easily good enough for us now if not higher in his prime, as his few appearence for NI proved where he dominated the game. Shame he wasn't professional enough, great passer, very combative, often got the game and crowed started with whole hearted aggression. If the guy had even a tiny bit of pace he would have been awsome. Unfortunately Tommy never really had any drive or inclination to better himself, he would more often than not do it on the pitch but his lifestyle of itf held him back. Such a shame.

Agree with this TRL. It is such a shame at only 32 he is playing at that level. Had he been more professional I have no doubt that Doherty would still be playing at this level with us now, and like you say, possibly higher. I have very fond memories of him and on his day was absolutely class. I don't think you can really compare him and cisse both different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fully fit professional Doc and cisse in the same midfield, both lasting 90 minutes would be good, of course only playing 5 in midfield. Cisse Doc Tinman in a midfield 3 feeding 2 good wingers would have been nice to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keepers Ball Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Know some Newport fans who didnt rate him...shame because when he signed for them I didnt half big him up. Shame he didnt look after himself because he could have gone a lot farther Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really is such a shame he didn't look after himself as well as he should have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
