I really like Doidge and he works very hard, makes it hard for defenders and is good at holding it up, however I have no confidence in his shooting.

I have no faith in him scoring a one on one, shot from a decent position or really attacking a header from a cross. I think of yet to see him hit a shot cleanly that looks like it will go it or does go in.

He’s had a couple of not bad finishes, dinked the keeper twice and header v St Johnstone. I don’t mind if he scores from 2 yards, but I just don’t get the feeling he will get in the positions often enough.

I was having this discussion with an Aberdeen supporting mate recently and he said they were they same about Cosgrove which is true, the difference is Cosgrove was 20 or so when he first joined.

I don’t know what it is but I just wouldn’t bank on him or even Kamberi for that matter being the main striker for us to score a lot of goals. Kamberi goes through phases and only seems to score good goals every now and again.
This is where I am at with Doidge too but i would also add that i think his hold up play is very poor. That last match at Livi was embarrassing. He won most of his headers but he has no clue where he is likely to divert them with about 50% of them landing back at the feet of Daz or Hanlon who had played the initial pass! He is so reluctant to shield or chest it and take a foul, just wants to knock on and be rid of it.

I've no problem with the scruffy goals by the way, they all count in the end but I've yet to see any finesse or technical ability in him that even suggests he will improve.
