Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Matt Doherty keeps getting overlooked at international level.

Matt Doherty of Wolverhampton Wanders is congratulated on scoring the third goal during the Sky Bet Championship match between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Reading at Molineux on March 13,...

Republic of Ireland fans cannot understand why Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Matt Doherty isn’t get a look in for the national side.

Ireland were without Seamus Coleman last night for their match against Poland, but rather than pick Doherty, Martin O’Neill turned to Cyrus Christie.

And Ireland fans cannot understand why the Wolves man doesn’t get picked more often, as his form at club level has been so strong.

Doherty has grown into a vital player for Molineux, with his rampaging performances at right-back earning him plenty of credit.

The Wolves man has not looked out of place at Premier League level, so it is somewhat of a surprise to see him overlooked when it comes to international matters.

In Doherty’s absence, Ireland picked up a 1-1 draw with Poland, which was a credible result.

Ireland scored their goal through Aiden O’Brien, and had the lead until the closing stages, with Mateusz Klich struck an equaliser.
