Almost forgot he even played for us already15

Really liked him as a player
until I heard he was scum , fuck him15 -
Would've liked him to stay and sign a new deal but given the injury and his willingness to leave, it was a complete no brainer to take a fee for him and say goodbye.sam3110 said:Good thing he isn't still on our books really, would have been a waste of 4 months worth of wages

Likewise. It was almost like he was on loan to us for a season, got injured and then he was gone. Personally, and I might get pelters for this, but he just got the ball knocked it past people and then ran very fast.....AFKABartram said:Almost forgot he even played for us already5 -
I agree mate. Alot of potential there but not what we need at the moment so as long as we have a decent sell on clause let someone else take the chance imo. Plus I can see him being out for quite a whilericky_otto said:

Blew hot and cold like any winger in terms of performance and decision making, finishing was very sporadicricky_otto said:

Bit of a Theo Walcott type player
Remember him being outstanding in his final game against Northampton for us and think he'd have been a nightmare against some of the lower teams in this Division - at the same time I remember him being invisible against Doncaster1 -
That was his main attribute, a hamstring tear was probably the worst injury he could have suffered.ricky_otto said:

That pace could be very effective though, especially at this level where he had goals and assists in him.ricky_otto said:

Those that do don’t play for clubs like us or Stoke.
Clearly he’s not in the class of players like Gomez, Shelvey and Lookman, but if he can get fit again, avoid too many injuries and retain his pace he’ll have a good career. Fox and Cousins are competing in the Championship, he should at least do the same and could potentially do more than that.
If fit I’d rather have him in our squad than not. He’s better suited and more threatening in one of the front 3 wide roles than Maatsen and Washington.3 -
Which is a pretty decent attribute to have especially in away games on the counter, but won't be much use when he plays against teams who sit deepricky_otto said:

He was fantastically fast. Less effective when we lost our other faster players to keep up with him.
Did the defensive stuff really well imo.0 -
Doughty's injury meant that teams didn't have to respect our counter attack and were free to press our pedestrian midfield. It was probably as big a reason for our slump in form as losing Famewo and Inniss.14
-
Here's the first 14 games of the season:
As you can see we got 13 points from the first 7 and 13 points from the next 7.
We scored 7 goals with him in the side, conceding 5. +2GD (5 clean sheets)
We scored 10 goals, conceding 8 with him out of the side +2GD (3 clean sheets)
I'd argue he was more beneficial in defending than attacking.0 -
Never really rated him to be honest, crossing was average, first touch was poor, pacy but always looked awkward on ball and was all left foot.2
-
Alfie Doughty's career in first team football was just starting. Playing him on the right just negated his speed. What is the latest on his injury because Danny Haynes always springs to mind with pacey players and hamstring problems in their careers.
I hope losing players like Doughty so early in their careers stop under Thomas Sandgaard, unless they are Joe Gomez class and we won't have any choice unless we are already in the Premier !
Ps. I know he could still sprint down the right wing but the cross he put in was so far away from our strikers that an opposition defender put the ball in the net for Cafc in one match.0 -

Absolutely better ! One of those players who got you excited when he got the ball. Millar's decision making is terrible and DJ seems to be lacking confidence.Dazzler21 said:

I too had forgotten all about him till this thread had popped up, hope he can get his career back on track.0

Mostly in the championship and a lot of games at full back or wing back in a crap team.Dazzler21 said:

Millar will never play top level, far too one dimensional and doesn’t have a footballing brain.3

I know he looks about 45, but he is actually only 21, and is playing his second full season of 'mens football'.buckshee said:Millar will never play top level, far too one dimensional and doesn’t have a footballing brain.
He clearly has a lot of raw talent, and still has plenty of time to develop if he can. Not sure we should be writing him off just yet.2 -
I'm not sure that's correct mate imo. He has potential yes but that's about it. He hasnt proven anything yet. My point was I think it was good business to let him go when we did and let someone else take the risk if it works out we have a decent sell on I presume. All he showed to me mostly was that he can run fast he hadnt developed any end product that I could seewmcf123 said:

He’s achieved very little, given that he hasn’t played a full season. Not sure Millar and DJ have achieved anything eitherAndyG said:

Good to see him back playing and whilst a goal is a goal... It wasn't a "sweet" strike at all really!3

You can tell by his reaction he's enjoying living in Stoke21

Alfie Spanner.
He'll be playing in the Championship. And we won't.
And that's probably the reason why he left.
Oh, I forgot the other reason ........ £££££££££

You mean he left for money and the chance to play in the league above? What a dirty rotten judas...Oggy Red said:Alfie Spanner.
