I don’t get all the negativity around Dougie considering he didn’t get any game time at Forest. I think his performances have improved massively since he joined us. I thought he is certainly no worse than some of the other players on pitch, but he’s consistently being called out as being poor by some on here.
He is not at the standard as when he left us, but I think he is improving with each game and when other midfielders are fit it’s likely he will be a back up anyway.

Well, if he's meant to be a holding midfielder, he's very poor, because he can't tackle to save his life, and if he's meant to be a creative spark, he's poor because he couldn't see a line-breaking pass if they were on special offer at Tesco.
Backwards is the only way he can pass successfully, and that puts the onus on our center backs to try to create an opening. Onana isn't great at completing forward passes either, but at least he puts in a shift defensively.
