“How stupid can Sheffield United be?”
“Something wrong with Chris me thinks”
“is he still playing? Old, legs gone. Good 10 years ago”
“Struggle with the ‘great servant’ stuff when he’s spent so much if his time here grossly unfit (by his own admission), lacking in basic motivation, costing us with ****e defending or engaging in disrespectful nonsense like this last temper tantrum.”
“Always gave his best for us, except for the first 5 years he spent here when he lived off kebabs and jogged round the pitch.”
“overwhelmingly lazy player. Yes, for a short time, Nuno used him very well indeed BUT my everlasting image of Doherty will be of him caught out of position and jogging back.”
“11 games in the season that just ended, barely been in the team this year, and when he has played, he’s looked like the legs had gone”
“Past it.. unless they’re playing him in a back 3 where he doesn’t need to do much running…”
“Last season the RB/RWB options at the club were absolutely abysmal. I’m not even sure which one is the worst. Probably Doherty but the fact it isn’t an obvious choice tells its own story.”
“Trippier like signing for a L1 or lower end championship team”
“might just compete in League One”
“I wouldn’t have him in League One these days.”
“Never liked him. Called him out for years. I for one am delighted he is no longer here stinking the place out.”
“Some people thought we should keep because he gave an interview once. Let’s ignore what a disgrace of a footballer he is.”
“I do think our fans overrated Doherty at his “peak” – He was a disgrace at his worst – We should never have re-signed him, that was ridiculous”
” Doherty was lucky that Nuno found a unique position for him,”
“he’s been poor more than he’s been good . Fans player of the year well that was a long time ago. His good times were in a very niche position for him when asked to be a genuine RB he’s not been able to do it. Yep good under Nuno in a great side. Outside of that a lot of poor stuff.”
“Nuno was happy to move Doherty on as he saw that he was one of the weaker links in a team that finished 7th. He did well in those two seasons but his half arsed attempts to get back from forward forays stood out in a team that was otherwise fully committed. We should never have re-signed him”
“Doherty would have been filed along with the likes of Lee Naylor if it wasn’t for Nuno completely transforming him for three years. Nuno gave him license to do what he was good at and covered for what he was bad at. Had Nuno not come along, Doherty never plays for Spurs or Atletico, maybe not even Ireland
Some great moments and been a good servant, was a very good player for three seasons and I for one was grateful he called out the players as cowards last season. But Wolves legend? Not for me”
“Doherty was a really important part of a team that was brilliant, just dismissing all that all of the time is crazy.”
“His improvement level between 2017-20 was absolutely remarkable. He went from a lower level championship/League 1 right back to one of the most productive wing backs in the country.”
“he was good as a RCB for us as recently as last season, and was an integral part of the best Wolves team I have ever seen.”
“He’ll do a job for them. I imagine less wages than he was on from us – dropped a division and they aren’t flush.
Almost guaranteed to score against us…..”
“Good luck, Doc and thanks for the memories.
Good signing for Sheff United, imo.”
“Particularly if they play him at CB. As a FB or WB he could struggle – he never was the quickest and he’s older now.”
“He did a really nice job for Vitor as a third CB. Other than that, he was basically a zero out wide these last few years.”
“personally don’t think Trippier will add too much extra to what Doc can provide.”
“From League One to Europe and Wembley, absolute Wolves legend”
“He was always one of those that I thought we could upgrade but he would constantly prove me wrong. Great character, great memories and yeah in my eyes a legend too. Thanks Doc and nothing but best wishes for whatever his future holds.”
“Would’ve been great to keep on for experience. Absolutely a club legend, seen it all, of course a key part of the great Nuno era team, understood what it means to be Wolves and gave everything on the pitch.”
“Dont get all the hate towards him after the season we’ve just witnessed. Half the team from last season would struggle to get in a non league side. Gutless spineless cowards who couldnt give a flying toss about what it means to be a Wolves player, to represent the club, the city & the fans. Mat cared – thats enough for me”
“The guy deserves some respect and not some of the comments in this thread. Nuno era was peak obviously but 400 appearances puts him 14th on the all time list for club appearances.”
