As a long term Doyle fan I find it ironic how much he is appreciated since "the walk".

Totally agree pinchers,especially regarding the end of season quote,he is not good enough for the Championship,he's done a good job for us recently,but the sooner people who love Doyle as a player realise this,the better.As a long-term 'know it all' I say it's no coincidence that he's playing so much better under NC, than previously.
People have rightly warmed to him since his emotional interview last season and then the 'walk'. I certainly have.
At the moment it's James and Michael for Central Midfield isn't it? Impressive on Saturday, the pair of them. If and when we go up, though, it's 'thanks for everything, Michael...all good things come to an end'.

I was a big critic of Doyle up to that sending off last season but since that day he has smartened himself up maybe Nigel had a few words but Doyle deserves a lot of credit for the improvement, you can't question his commitment to the club. I did think it was a mistake by Wilson to give him a long contract but he is now showing his worth to the team, well done to the bloke.
Fully agree metalblade. It's possible he realised how he let so many people down when he got sent off v Fulham. He got slaughtered by the fans after that but full credit to the bloke, he's been one of our most consistent players since then.
I had a bit of a chat with him on Saturday night and he really is a decent bloke. Couldn't understand a word he said but still a nice fella.
He was probably asking if you'd like a nice cup of tea....

Sometimes you need someone who's tough and isn't afraid of making a foul tackle.
Most of the teams that have been successful in my lifetime have had what my dad calls "a dirty bugger" in the side. Fond memories of Trevor Hockey RIP.
Alf Ramsey was reduced to calling them 'Animals' due to their behaviour.

He got rightly slaughtered after the Fulham match, given that as a captain it was an act of true bellendery that probably cost us the win that day.
Brought a smile to my face as I remembered Ramsey running on to the pitch to stop the England players swopping shirts at the end. Nobby was the dirty B in our side. I think Don Revie's Leeds had about 10 dirty b's ( M. Jones being the exception) .
'Doyle type players' are always going to receive some stick aren't they?
Why are Doyle type players always going to receive stick?
Bob Booker received stick - sensibly asked someone in the know what to do - give 100% was the answer and the rest is history.
My issue with Doyle is this:
He was part of the problem that got us relegated.
He was part of the problem that didn't get us promoted - main reason being - ALWAYS looked for a square pass
, and for the ones that remember, a poor mans butch Wilkins.
NC has sorted Doyle out, which may point to previous managers and coaches not really have a clue how to coach anyone.
Totally happy with Doyles current contribution under NC -he seems much more disciplined, does what he has to do within his capabilities and such receive plaudits for turning his Sheff U career round.
UTB
How many times have you seen Dimaio play to pass this judgement ? Dimaio is being hard done to at the moment and when the chances come along for Dimaio to prove himself it just happens he's away on international dutyThe middle 3 on Sat worked a treat, and is IMO, the best combination. Doyle does a great job for the team, Scougall is showing signs of returning to last season`s form, and Wallace is sheer quality at this level. Basham hasn`t got going yet, McGinn has showed more than him in his limited game time, but isn`t consistent enough, Reed is the best passer after Wallace, and the jury is out for me on Dimaio, he needs a loan spell, but I do not believe he will make it at the Lane, despite a fantastic debut last season v Rotherham.
