Fans of Wolverhampton Wanderers have criticised Matt Doherty after the club posted footage of an interview the full-back.
On Thursday afternoon, the Old Gold posted a video of the Irishman talking about Conor Coady and he stated: “He does less running than anybody” (as per Wolves), which had fans slating the 28-year-old for the same thing.
"He does less running than anybody, I'll just say that!" ?
Matt Doherty reveals the secret to Coady's consistency and why he's so important to the team.

Who do you think does the least running in training and in matches between the pair?Matt Doherty, people in glass houses...

This term, the experienced full-back has featured in 31 games in all competitions for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side, in which he has scored five goals and assisted once (as per Transfermarkt).
Despite having an average rating of 6.85/10 (as per WhoScored), supporters continued to slate the Irish international for his perceived lack of work rate.
Doherty does the least running I’ll say that

Shame Doc only knows hows to run forward, takes him 5x longer to get back to where he came from

What do we think?
Doherty, who is valued at £18 million (as per Transfermarkt), has been a solid performer for the Old Gold all season long, as can be seen from his average rating and also having six goal involvements from 31 games as a defender.
However, it does seem a little as though people who live in glass houses should not throw stones in this instance.
