I like Doyle but he is limited in what he offers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyther_Matt Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Doyle contributed a lot yesterday in terms of offering an outlet and holding the ball up. But if we’re going to persist with one man up top then we really need someone who’s going to finish the chances that fall his way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the pass from Kachunga should have been burried though. Got it all wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely He would be good in a partnership as Swindon played him all this offering an outlet and running his socks off is great but he’s missing great chances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianofcleveleys Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 It's the half yard of pace that Doyle lacks that causes him either to stretch and not strike the ball as cleanly as he'd like or not get on to it at all. Wouldn't think he's ever been lightning over his career, flat footed running gait goes against him, but even less so at 33. Been three or four occasions in games where balls have been put across into areas where the player of that ball could reasonably expect the striker to be on to and he's been a couple of feet short. A couple from John on Tuesday and yesterday I can recall, one that their lad May would have gobbled up. My concern with all the talk about Stockton really, could end up investing a wedge on somebody of a similar sort of profile then being stuck with him if we go up a level and he can't. Could no doubt get 10-15 in a team like ours that could help us get promoted but wouldn't see him as a Championship level performer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will we attract a striker of sufficient quality whilst still in league one, particularly whilst we're not paying big money? If we were doing well enough to get promoted, and a striker was scoring plenty, he'd likely do OK one level up anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct - decent strikers cost or you have to wait until they are out of contract and pay them handsomely. I hear the talk re Stockton but suspect we'll see what the options are and spend any limited funds on keeping Amaechi until summer. I'd be happy with that.

Upped his game now, much like Isgrove did last year, and deserves his praise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still needs to strengthen though. I think the more senior players need to shoulder that a little bit (pun intended) and give him a bit more protection from that side of things. He does seem to be winning more and more challenges though, and not necessarily by being the strongest in the challenge but by having the quicker feet.
