Matt Doherty

I think the problem with Doherty is that he's only going to be truly effective if he's played in exactly the same system as Wolves deploy, and it's questionable whether we have the right type of centre backs to start a back 3 (let alone the rest of the system). He has a great engine and that's the primary reason he does so well as a wing back. The rest of his game is unexceptional though and that's why he looks pretty ordinary when played in other positions.

We're decent enough..

Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been.

egan excels in a back 3 every week and stevens excels at lwb. we could make it work between duffy/k long/clark/etc plus younger players coming through like collins

Egan plays as the centre of a 3, this is the position that Duffy/Long would also be best in a 3. We don't have any obvious candidates to play the wide centre-back roles. You mention Collins, but from what I've seen of him he's very much in the mould of a traditional centre back too.

Went down with an ankle injury. Came back on the pitch but hope it’s ok.

Went down again. Coming off now.

Christie going to start then.

Sounds like he should be fine for Denmark

Young Doherty lost his man for the goal I hear. Naive defending but being so young he has time to improve and will learn from this.

Doherty is a million times the player Coleman is

Is this a wind up? Doherty literally stood still for the Braithwaite goal, it was a atrocious mistake. Coleman is streets ahead of Doherty even if some think he’s on the decline. Doherty should be used as a right wing back or left on the bench. He cost us the game last night as we would have likely scored in the end as we would be bombarding their goal had it still been 0-0 come the last 15

whatever mistake he made for the goal he cancelled it out with his own. Coleman does not really offer much anymore IMO and has done little in a long while (broken leg aside). if its a shhotout for the right back spot only then Doherty would get my vote. much more threatening in the oppositions half.
