Montgomery or Doyle

[Superblades]

Right then, having a right argument with a fellow Blade so let’s sort this.

Montgomery or Doyle?

Monty played at a higher level and imo was a much better player.

Let’s go and sort this....no idea how to start a poll.

 

[ShockingBadBuy]

Doyle was a cut price Montgomery.

 

[diode_blade]

You just have

 

[Cerberus Blade]

Doyle for me. He could make the ball generally go in the direction he wanted it to.

 

[Bashar Al Asaba]

Shit, somebody's said 'Montgomery'.

Expect that fucking dullard to come a-running with his traffic cone any moment.

 

[BladeInIreland]

easy, Monty.

 

[LJBlade]

Montgomery. As if that’s even a discussion.

 

[derfblade.3]

Benson or Hedges?

 

[McGrath]

No comparison. Monty by a mile

 

[JohnDenver]

The player that part of the last team to take us to the premiership? Or the player that wasn’t?

Yes, but can pass it well. Ffs

 

[FTPE]

Monty.
Both very limited footballers but I remember Doyle slagging our away fans off once while Monty would have run through a brick wall for us.

 

[Cassius Kray]

There's no comparison. Doyle was an average player in the worst team in my memory, Monty in one of the best.

 

[Bladesman]

A bit like deciding which testicle you want removing.

 

[snootyfenooty]

Monty will always split opinion on his ability or lack of it. He wasn't one of our better players but he was a long way from being one of the worst. Doyle on the other hand was a mainstay in one of the worst periods in our history. Watching him line up with Collins every week used to give you that peculiar feeling in the pit of your stomach of impending disaster. He was fucking garbage.

However, his funny walk against West Ham earned him redemption from certain fans who find this kind of stuff more important than footballing ability.

 

[Rodley]

Monty. Quality midfield destroyer, smashing lad, loved the Blades.

Doyle, meh.

 

[derfblade.3]

Mils or Boon

 

[Russ]

Bodie. Or Doyle?

 

[Wards]

No comparison to be had there I’m afraid.

 

[bladesmanluke]

Ferrari or Lambo?

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

Monty basically did the same thing, but at a higher level.

 

[Ted Danson]

Montiniohhh! Poormans makileily whereas doyle was a poor man's monty

 

[Geordie Blade]

Monty is/was exactly the sort of player you need when you’re playing against a team better than yourselves. He can man-mark and nullify the midfield incredibly well - something that is hugely underrated in football. Unfortunately he doesn’t work anywhere near as well in games where you are the stronger side. He has the same effect (nullifying the midfield) which means that you lose the advantage. So, Monty’s worth varied a lot depending on the context.

Doyle worked hard and was competent, but wasn’t anywhere near the same level of athleticism or discipline.

Is everyone here mad. its like saying aids or cancer. Which do You want .
THE ANSWER:- NONE OF THE FUCKERS

 

[Bruce Wayne]

This question is akin to chosing the electric chair or the guillotine

 

[fishpie]

Monty 100%.. What he was good at, he was very good at. No snidey stuff either.. Didnt dislike Doyle (thanks for West Ham pen, especially)..But we move on, and to be fair, neither would get a game now... Still a lot of love for Monty

 

[Houston_Blade]

Montgomery, not even comparable

 

[LenTednTony]

Monty was, imo, superior to Doyle in doing the job he was supposed to do.

Both did decent jobs for the club

Monty was a brilliant shit player. Doyle was even shit at being shit.
