What has happened to Dougall

Bit of honesty wouldnt go amiss! And a bit of consistency. Change your mind about players more often than you change your bamboo underpants. FACT.

And youve wanted us to get rid of Dougall loads of times and now you want him back in the side again. And Carey was fhe answer to everything. You just go off the last 5 minutes all the time! And then go into full exaggeration mode and stop watching!

I think Appo is realising the value of Sir Ken. 👍
I think Carey will be the man, especially if he has a Dougall, Connolly or Stewart behind him, I would then hope he would play alongside Fiorini further up the field which will suit them both more. Apper's clearly didn't fancy Dougall yesterday but I think he realises that was a mistake. The player that needs to make way is Virtue in my opinion, but I can still see. us buying another decent midfielder, then it is up to him who he plays.

Kenny will keep proving his worth and there will be loads of times when two 8s is too much of a luxury. It took an hour of the first game for Kenny to return and for his worth to be re-realised yet again. 👍

Kenny and Connolly could play together in midfield and probably will. Pretty soon probably.

I reckon Saturday if Gabriel is passed fit
 
Are Dougall, Carey and Virtue the same style of players? If so, Dougall would be my first pick amongst those three every game.

No
Dougall is a great defensive midfielder
Virtue is a box to box player which helps drive the team forward
Carey hopefully will develop into a very skilful attacking midfielder who opens up defences and creates chances. I do not think he is there yet but needs the game time to improve.
Our best midfield of Southern, Adam, and Vaughan were very different in what they brought to the table, but they gelled perfectly
 
Don't really rate Lavery since his last injury.
He looks overweight and well off the pace, his touch seems to be missing and hasn't been doing the surging runs he once did.
Behind Bez and Jerry on pre season showings, bench at best unless we have no other options, could go for me.
Rate Lav a lot, speedy, aggressive and can score. Would like to see Bez though, had a great pre season.

I dont see Carey as super skilful, he's not a Fiorini or a Wellens. Hes pretty box to box, a runner. And Dougall is more than a defensive midfielder, we have been brainwashed a bit by Quitch cos he used him almost entirely as a defensive player. We might see him evolve under Appleton, possibly. Dougall, Carey and Virtue are different, but not crazy different, I think. They all have defensive and attacking aspects to their game.
