Docherty 'not easy to replace' and is loss of leaders 'concerning'?
We asked for your views on captain Ross Docherty being released and Dundee United's 16 end-of-season player what some of you said:Kevin: We can only hope the manager has some irons in the fire and we can get real quality in to progress further. I struggle to see how ripping the squad apart can help improve the core of the team. Personally I would have kept Declan Gallagher on a one-year extension and Doherty on a pay-as-you-play basis as when he plays he makes a Absolutely gutted to see Docherty leave. When he played, United were a better team. His control of the midfield was masterful at times. When he wasn't playing other midfielders often fell short. Sure he has been horrendously unlucky with injuries but a pay-as-you-play and bonus for every 10 games played might have suited. Not an easy player to Letting all three of Docherty, Gallagher and Louis Moult go is quite risky in terms of the experience and leadership leaving the dressing room. We'll just have to trust that Jim Goodwin knows what he's doing and can successfully pull off a third successive summer I would have liked to have seen Docherty and Gallagher given at least another year. Their performances, when fit, have been exceptional and their influence on the players around them cannot be underestimated. Most United fans would agree that the side is better and more difficult to beat when Doc is in it, and Gallagher has been a key part of what was, in the main, a very stingy defence. We did start leaking goals when Kevin Holt left, so his contribution should be acknowledged too. Wish these guys, the loan guys, and King Louis all the very best for wherever they roll up next. It's been a pleasure having you at our The January signings certainly appear to have had little impact. Letting both Docherty and David Babunski go looks a bit cavalier - let's hope there is someone else lined A bit concerning that we are getting rid of some of our leaders, albeit, as a club we need to progress by bringing in even more talented players. I'm sure Goodwin has a few cards up his sleeve regarding a few players coming in. I just hope they have some pace, power and equality as important, the right All the players released are the correct decisions. Docherty was good for us but was always injured and Gallagher is 34 and another season in the Prem would be too much for him, St Johnstone would be a good fit for both of them, as well as Moult. Hopefully Jim has some players in mind for next season and if he can get Sam Dalby, Luca Stephenson and Jack Walton in again then hopefully it will be another good Docherty was easily one of our best players when fit but understand he's missed a lot of the season, would have liked to see him on an earn-as-you-play deal but understand that may not have suited both parties. Hoping we have Will Ferry-calibre replacements lined up for the boys who are leaving because everyone was upset when Scott McMann was let go last year and Ferry has definitely been an upgrade.
