Not one of my favourites, but certainly doesn't deserve some of the over the top ridiculous criticism he gets on here. I'm sure someone said he is the worst footballer they had ever seen.

Yep, agree. Some players were clearly faltering and I was surprised we didn't make earlier changes. Both JMD and Shipley were noticeably tiring and Shipley in an interview this very week said he was working on his fitness levels in order for him to be able to last 90 minutes, so clearly struggles.

I can feel a big LOL coming along.

Vincenti back too and Carl Baker supposedly to sign at the end of Jan.

Regurgitated from rumour, or genuine good source?

Jim Rodford, 79. Bass player with Argent, the Zombies and the Kinks.

Fair point. I always saw it as a deliberate ploy to sit deep rather than him being sapped of energy, but maybe you're right. We quite often regress much deeper in second halves of matches and was definitely more noticeable when both Doyle and Kelly were paired together. Guess we will only...

Yes, I know. I mentioned that in this thread that it was some 15 years later.

He played 238 games for us, so why not on the 9th minute of every one of those games. :)

A long shot? We are just two points off the automatic places. It's just one win.

Yep, I'm sure you're right, but he isn't even in the picture there, so it is up to the remaining defending players to cover that at that point and with the numbers we have there we should be able to stop that ball from getting into the box.

Agree. Needs another target man to challenge for the position.

Yeah, sorry. Beat MK and then beat Cambridge and THEN it will be even more healthy!!

The quip always falls flat on its face when someone alters and corrects the thread title.

And this is coming from someone whom has never been a fan. Never been that enamoured with Doyle before, but I can see what he adds to the team and he is forever getting a leg in, chasing down, breaking up play, getting in players faces, disrupting the opposition and just keeps going...

Yep, agree, but I bet the best reception for the man was at the Hawthorns and the Ricoh.

He does a lot of unsung work.

In that first still of the second batch the one forward is running towards Davies, so Davies' man. Bayliss is on the man with the ball and Willis is coming back into position. In that second still you have 3 City players covering just that one man. We are 5 on 3.

That last still Willis and Grimmer are standing side by side.
