Greg Heads To Shrewsbury.

We are a bit heavy in the midfield so someone had to shift to make space. Docherty is still young and has lots of room to improve, I think Gerard will be hoping he gets regular game time week in week out. He's a player that Gerard could have easily sold on if he didn't have him in his plans at all so I think he is someone who the manager thinks will be important down the line.

I really like the guy, I think he's got it in him to become a real player for us in the future but he probably will get more of an opportunity down there so he's better doing that than sitting on the bench getting frustrated.

I suppose the only other angle on this is that we still have Halliday taking up space in the squad and I would much rather see him out the door (loan or permanent) before Docherty but we'll see what happens there. Same feeling I have about Declan John... I would much rather see Hodson out the door before John.

I think we all universally wish the kid all the very best. I am not convinced it will ever work for him here though unless he develops quite a bit while away as technically i think he is well short of what is required, i watch him and i just feel something is missing, can't quite put my finger on it but something is missing from his game. Game time should do him the world of good however, something he was never going to get here. All the best Greg.

Football ability is whats missing 👍
