Aye, my bad. I’ll blame my pain killers on that oversight.

Full marks for his performance today.
I still don't think he is anything close to an answer and I think it has more to do with Leeds than him being quality but we need performances like this out of our lesser players and others, cough Emerson cough, would not have taken advantage of Leeds giving them opportunities like they did today.

Emerson would not have finished that chance. This is why we brought in Doherty. Let's hope we can get a bit more of that.
he proved that with that chance he missed! awful player to have on the ball in the final third.
dohertys best game today i think. defo ahead of emerson in games when we need to have more going forward.
With wing-backs he has to start ahead of Royal.
He's not the answer long term but right now he's the only option.

Agree. If we stick with wing backs its Doc and Sess rest of the season when available. Both have they're faults obviously but at least they're wing backs and Emerson and Reggie aren't.
Correct. He has many limitations and is very much only a stop gap, but he does offer something, has some strengths and should very much be our first choice now until the end of the season.

Spurs flop Matt Doherty proves his worth to Antonio Conte in Leeds win
Matt Doherty has thrown his name in the hat to become Antonio Conte’s first-choice right wing-back at Tottenham Hotspur after an emphatic display against Leeds United on Saturday afternoon.
On top of finding the net – his first goal since arriving in a £15m deal from Wolves in August 2020 – the Jose Mourinho flop also provided an assist just five minutes after opening the scoring himself in the tenth minute.
As per SofaScore, the £10.8m-rated dynamo was also among the most influential players on the pitch, having registered 68 touches. From that possession, he made 40 accurate passes from 45 attempts (89%), delivered 100% of his crosses accurately and created two key chances.
Elsewhere, Doherty even registered three clearances, two interceptions, one block and won 100% of his aerial duels.
‘His best performance for the club,’ is how Evening Standard reporter Dan Kilpatrick described it in his post-match ratings column, where he graded him an 8/10, whilst The Athletic’s Jack Pitt-Brooke claimed there was “something utterly thrilling” about Doherty running in behind the defensive line.
Therefore, it’s easy to see why Doherty could be the answer for the remainder of the campaign. Just as Press Association reporter Jonathan Veal said on social media: “Matt Doherty’s performance has shown he should be the man to go with at RWB until the end of the season.”
One swallow doesn‘t make a summer.
good game today, but I can’t recall saying that about him previously. Let’s not get carried away. Lets see if he can build some consistency.

He has come in for a lot of stick, including from me, but I realised today that no keeper has ever kept a clean sheet when Matt Doherty has scored. Let that sink in.
Levels innit...
