So you'd play a wing back at centre half and a guy who's not a wing back at wing back?

I was suggesting that as Doherty gets older he may be able to play centre back to add a string to his bow. Doherty hasn’t really worked out for us as of yet. Coleman having lost a bit of his recovery pace may be better suited to being up the field in a more attacking position than at full back.Quote:

I heard an interview with Doherty about a year or two ago, I think it was on the Second Captains podcast with Richie Sadlier. He claims that he's always been a centre back and will return to play centre back later in his career.Quote:

Not sure if it was the same interview or another but I heard him specifically state that his father fancied him to be a centre back in the long term. This may well have been in the context of him doing quite well there against Wales so probably not the same interview.Quote:

Probably off the back of his assist for Bale's goal against Wolfsberger.
Looking very much like Nuno Espirito Santo could end up the Spurs boss. I can't remember any negative fallout between him and Doherty from Doherty's Spurs move. They have a common agent. And Nuno's favoured formation suits Doherty to the ground.
Or perhaps Matt could offer to manage Spurs himself as nobody else seems to want to manage Spurs !
Came on in the 83rd minute in Spurs season-opening 1-0 win over Manchester City. Great to see him get some time on the pitch as I think many of us were questioning if he had a future at Spurs.
I don't know I thought spurs right back was immense today really good defensively which matt just isn't.Quote:

One swallow doesn't make a summer. I think a match vs Man City isn't really representative of a typical EPL match. That lad spent the match at last ditch defending from Sterling. Most teams won't offer the same threat, and he'd be forced to play more positively. I wouldn't write off Doherty yet.Quote:

In matches where Spurs are expected to be the team in possession, Doherty will definitely start IMO.
Doherty is the flat track bullies of wingback so.Quote:
