Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Matt Doherty has earned great praise for his performances for Nuno’s side this season.

Republic of Ireland fans were less than impressed by Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Matt Doherty’s showing last night.

Doherty was handed a rare start for Ireland last night, but he failed to impress.

The in-form Wolves man just never really got involved, as Ireland crashed to a disappointing defeat.

And while some Ireland fans stuck up for Doherty, a lot felt that the Wolves man did little to convince he should be featuring more often.

Doherty has been one of the stars of Wolves’ season so far, but he has been unable to bring his club form into the international break.

Ireland lost both matches they played in the past fortnight, and they looked bereft of ideas going forward.

Wolves fans will be hoping that Doherty’s poor international break does not affect his performances for them when they return to action.

Wolves are set to take on Watford at Molineux on Saturday, and Doherty is almost certain to start.
