Hope they think the same when they are still in it next season 😁 To be fair, they'll be the biggest club in League Two.

September 13, 20214 yr Just to bring a bit of reality to proceedings, Doyle has yet to score from open play in 7 league games. We had two matches with 70+ percentages and about 50 attempts at goals and got 1 point. So whilst we all bask in the glow of a proper performance to which Doyle was integral I think his days are numbered longer term, particularly given Evatt's talk about stretching defences with more pace etc, I definitely see Doyle as the weak link in the team currently and an area for improvement. Queue the pelters! 🤪 PS Who said Stockdale was shite btw, we never see Doyle score those kind of goals!

He does so much work off the ball, I'm amazed he can still run off the pitch when he gets subbed. He contributes massively to the way we play.
September 13, 20214 yr Dear me. Couldn't care less if he doesn't score again, if we win 5-2. He's integral to how the team plays. Enjoy it.

Perhaps that has something to do with the opposition defending well and making it difficult for us. Something that was acknowledged by Evatt. He's the first line of defence, a hell of a character to have in the dressing room, and bags of experience to pass on.

Every striker misses from time to time- if he was that good he wouldn't be playing division 3 football. There was a stat on the TV the other day, he's something like 4th or 5th on the list of highest scoring strikers in the leagues. Only the likes of Kane ahead. Remarkable.
September 13, 20214 yr Doyle? Can't believe we're having the conversation. If he's good enough for Evatt, he's good enough for me.
September 13, 20214 yr FFS, I’d love to ask his teammates what they think of him. Edited September 13, 20214 yr by Steejay

Watched that Burton match live and he did absolutely nothing for 70 mins till he was taken off, a proper striker working the centre halves and we would have won that match easily. So slag me off as much as you want but not hearing much evidence of what he does do.

No problem with genuine opinions, never sure why they get shouted down so readily, it would be boring if everyone thought the same. But isn't that goal v Oxford classed as open play? It was our only goal headed in from a corner under Evatt if I'm not mistaken, something to celebrate.

You are entitled to your opinion even though it seems you can't appreciate his overall game.He was fantastic on Saturday IMHO even if he hadn't scored the penalty. As for being rude I try to only give it back to those who dish it out and you have been very insulting in past so there you go.
September 13, 20214 yr No problem with Doyle, he gives it 100% every game. He does have strengths & weaknesses obviously. We did well to get him into League 2 last season as he would walk into a lot of sides at this level. I'm thinking Philliskirk & Reeves scenario, both did us proud but Evatt will be looking out for Walker/McGinlay upgrades as is only natural. Doyle does a hell of a lot of unselfish running that goes unnoticed by some that creates space & once he nets from open play is likely to hit a streak.
