Doyle

Stays in the side now

With our injuries, who comes in anyway?

 

[drblade]

Doyle looked very good.

Bob Booker.

 

[Bell4]

Doyle looked very good.

Did he ?

 

[Oohaah! Bob Bookah!]

Bob Booker.

You called

 

[corkysbeard]

Bob Booker.

Oh ahhh

Agree....he looks a player.

There was a bit of play in the 2nd half when our player was receiving a pass with a Luton player close by.
Instead of controlling it, our player controlled and turned with the ball all in one movement taking their player out of the game.

Nice piece of skill and that player looked like McBurnie....I thought surely that can't be McBurnie producing some proper skill.
Then noticed the player had number 22 on his back, checked it and then realised it was Doyle not McBurnie.

With fleck having a fractured leg, there doesn't seem to be defensive midfielder in the squad, and it would be a complete waste to put berge in that role, so it looks like hes going to get a lot of games, and from what I've seen he'll be fine

 

[nopigfansintown]

Yep gave us a platform. Berge and Norwood looked very leggy second half.I think if Doyle started we win. We really need to bring a high energy ball winner in though.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

I mean, he kind of has to "start" by default.
We're out of options.

Encouraging though, thought he looked really comfortable. Nice probing passes.

 

[Harry's Game]

Start him

 

[JackSUFC]

Put a couple of decent deliveries into the box which were nice to see after McActee’s attempts in the first half.

 

[Weasel]

Bob Booker.

Really?

Was he like Bobby Booker?

Was he a dirty fuck....er

Is he six foot tall....

And does fuck all?

 

[sufcboy95]

There is no reason for Berge to play in a midfield 2 with Doyle fit

 

[Stevo]

Good passer, calm on the ball, always on the front foot

 

[robbiez666]

He looked a bit uncomfortable on the left, but has to start now really. Much better with him on and fitted in well.

Speaking of broken legs, what player of ours leg did his grandad break when playing for Citeh in the 70s? Recall reading it on here when he signed.

Think it might have been Aiden McGeady's dad's!

Yes John McGeady but thought it was his knee cap that he had broken by Michael Doyle at Maine Road when City were a proper Manchester football team

And does fuck all?

Ooh aah got pelters at first. Then one freezing cold night at Mansfield, a legend was born…..

 

[BladeInIreland]

I'd much prefer Doyle play and push Berge forward. I do wish we signed another player to compete with Doyle and Norwood though, I think it will be a problem this season with fleck not the player he was.

 

[Lightsoot]

Loved how the lad stepped up and took responsibility tonight. Clearly can go up another level if only he can stay fit. Could be a huge plus for the run in.

 

[RetfordBlade]

Doyle looks another level when given 90mins kn the "norwood" holding role. I'd keep him there

 

[Dnblade]

Best player on the pitch tonight,class on and off the ball,good range of passing,and it was difficult with a lack of height and pace up top,and a very inexperienced midfield around him.

 

[LondonBlade89]

So that’s his best position then. Yes please.

 

[prescotblade]

What’s the chances of him staying at the lane for next season

 

[nopigfansintown]

His best game in a Blades shirt. Between him, Robinson and Anel for motm.

 

[Iceybabey]

What’s the chances of him staying at the lane for next season

Very high I reckon. Love his hunger and the lads a baller.

 

[robbiez666]

Absolutely thrives in the Norwood position. That Tommy Doyle is good enough for a Premier League loan (should we go up). He can also manage 90 minutes in that position.

 

[Toronto Blade]

He would be a very good signing young athletic, tenacious, pace, can pass, take a man on good free kicks and corners.
