Alfie Doughty - that's a great name.
That's what you say when you boss asks you to make a cuppa. "Alfie doughty! I'll get right on it".
think he's a decent player, quite quick
would prefer Giles, but if wolves are dragging their feet we can't risk not having someone to play there
Can't find much about him but not a bad word on the Stoke forumQuote:

Could have Doughty and Doyle together in midfield. Sounds like a 1980s US cop show.
Wasn't there a Bodie & Doyle on tv in the 70sQuote:

Alfie Doughty has today joined Cardiff City on loan for the remainder of the 21/22 campaign.
Which if his 11 substitute appearances for Stoke are you basing this assessment on?Quote:

Brief interview up on the club website.
Seems to be very grounded - and up for the fight.
Welcome Alfie! :ayatollah:

What do you mean not a bad word on the Stoke forum I only read the first two pages and there were at least four of five bad postings about him. One said something like Good riddance apart from one game against Stoke he has been poor. Several describe him as a poor player and most of the others are along the lines he might be ok but no one has seen enough of him to judge.Quote:

I'm not writing him off by any means. I know next to nothing about him, having never heard of him until this morning. It just amuses me when people claim players are decent, good or whatever based on such blatantly limited evidence.Quote:

As long as hes better than what we've got....I think we're at that stage of desperation at the moment :shrug:Quote:

6 points off the play offs with 2 games in hand.Quote:

In view of these errors, probably best to ignore this post.
Very illuminating. In a similar vein, is it thin-skinned or thin skinned?Quote:

To be so pedantic smacks of a poor level of education and an inferiority complex - a desire to show how educated and believable one is in contrast to the mob.
He has a tough job today but love he gives us natural width and can run with the ball at feet. Hopefully the more match fitness he gets the more of an asset he will be.
My bad. We all make mistakes.Quote:
