Ashbee became such a great player, effective even at the highest level by always playing to his strengths and not trying to do more. I feel like Docherty always tries to do that bit more than he has to and would really benefit from taking a leaf out of Ashes book.

He’s a goal scoring midfielder by trade he’s being made to do a role that doesn’t suit his strengths because of his natural fitness and power. His strengths are running with the ball and finishing primarily but because of how much of an athlete he is coaches see him in the ball winning role. He’ll get there and when he does he’ll be one of the best midfielders in the division. He’s a managers dream in terms of distance covered and ball recoveries. Remember Shrewsbury fans being really shocked when they saw him playing deeper for us as he played more advanced for them and got double figure goals.
 
This isn't a proper argument - it's merely contradiction!

Smallwood apart think the days are going where teams need ‘experience’ which so often comes in the form of either unfit or overpaid legs gone players. If you’ve bought energy and reasonable quality and have a good team spirit(thanks Mcann ) you can do ok. I think Shota may just be really football intelligent and at a level we’ve not seen too often . If you know what I mean his after match comments were a breath of clarity
God that’s deep!!!

What would you have given for an experienced centre half like Davies in our side tonight...

Great performance from a great professional. I’d have loved him back at City. He’d have really brought on the young lads. Win/win.

Yes we’d have got at least a year out of a guy who’d signed for 2+ , his legs would have gone , he’s in a decent side with real quality to help him. He’s a quality guy with a real heart and love for City I think but sentiment could get in the way of reality - in my opinion !!!

Similar to Thudd. I'm desperate for his return to be a success but from the brief times we have seen him, I think it's time he hung up his boots.
