'No Doughts At My Posh Switchy'

MANAGERS came and went at Loftus Road but Michael Doughty never really got a shot with QPR.

He is now happily settled at Peterborough and desperate to prove he deserved more of a chance with the Rs.

In six-and-a-half years, with the likes of Neil Warnock, Harry Redknapp and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, he made just three league starts while heading out on loan to six different clubs, including two successful spells at Swindon.

This summer, it was finally time to move on and, after a promising start to his career with the Posh – albeit hampered by a slight back injury in October – Doughty, 25, is enjoying having somewhere to call home.

He said: “It was difficult because you would constantly have to settle in a new place and the carrot of first-team football at QPR was always dangled in front of me. It did seem a little bit elusive at times.

“I couldn’t really put my finger on it. I had spells where I was playing and involved regularly with the first team.
