Don’t just get him out the team, terminate his contract for match fixing. THREE sitters missed - is this guy really that shit, or is he missing them deliberately?

Absolute toilet player.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks like this. I am sick of seeing his name on the team sheet knowing if he gets a chance, he's just going to miss.

I know people will say you need to give him some credit for getting there and being in those positions, but, for me, he gives the ball away too much as well as missing the sitters. So for that reason, I'm out. Start anyone in his place.

However, I quite like Doyle, maybe I am missing something. I'll pay more attention to him in the next game.

Doyle looks tidy, and the sort of player who should be good. But whathe actually done?

He's comfortable on both feet, but he can't shoot, he can't break with pace, he doesn’t really ever beat his man...

He's a very modern footballer. Technically skillful. Tidy simple passes. Achieves nothing. And I would say at fault for the first goal. If Savage waa in his place, he'd have bust a gut, tracked the guy through the middle, closing him down and making life hard, rather than trotting back gently in his wake.


Give anything to be able to clone Michael Gilkes into one of our young players, at the very least the crowd got going when he got the ball.

Wiki says:

Considered a two-footed player, who can receive and pass with either foot as well as strike free-kicks with either foot, it has been reported that Doyle has been mentored to a degree by James Ward-Prowse at Southampton. He has played for Southampton, England U-20s, Exeter City (on loan), and Crawley Town (on loan) in a wide range of central and attacking midfield positions, including the number 10 role.

No, not me either. Perhaps it’s something to do with the coaching & management he’s receiving :?

Just read NH post match comments as was too pissed off before today.
What was he trying to say when we made their keeper look good and he wasn't?
Assume he was referring to our inability (in particular Paddy Lame's) to finish.

Definitely don't want to see Prodigal Paddy starting on Tuesday

Comes off as very bitter and a bit pathetic to me, certainly seems how the Cardiff fans perceived it.
What a way to fire up their keeper for the return fixture, although I don't suspect he is looking that far ahead.

For once his "We were the better team" that he says after almost every game is right.
His follow-up of "our most complete performance so far" should be saved for when we beat somebody 6-0 and conceding 2 goals in a game surely cannot be a complete performance.

Doyle points back to confidence, form and coaching issues with the team. His G/A output last season would have been good for a top 6 team; he did it with a relegated club. A player in form plays in Ritchie to make it 2-0 a minute before Cardiff equalised.

Could just be he was the focal point of chances as he was the best player there, but isn't here.

Or he/we aren’t the right match
