IMO about 10-15 more. At a certain point it became comical that O’Neill persisted with Christie as understudy. I don’t think up until recently people were calling for Doherty to potentially replace Coleman at right fullback but for him to be No. 3 — especially once he really started showing his quality at PL level with Wolves, looked more like stubbornness from O’Neill more than anything else.
I think Doherty going public with some of his frustrations put O’Neill off.
