    Don’t need him. We’ve got Omari Patrick. When Hopkin and our new superman fitness coach get their hands on him, they’ll turn him into the next Mbappe.

    Great strike from a fantastic athlete with genuine work ethic - he led the line when we turned the corner, and works twice as hard as Doyle.

    He lacks the ability, however, to match an Eoin Doyle or to make it at Middlesbrough, so if he's going spare, I'd be delighted if we signed him up!

    No player works harder than Doyle, not sure where the idea that Doyle doesn’t work hard comes from?

    So you think Doyle hasn’t been putting the effort in during our poor run Jon? I don’t make excuses for players, if a player isn’t pulling his weight its pretty apparent. You seem to be linking Doyles run of poor form with lack of effort and that his upturn in form is a result of more effort. I can say i have not seen a game this season where Doyle hasn’t put the effort in. I’ve seen him have poor performances but that wasn’t a result of lack of effort.

    You aren't the only one. Yeovil seem to have forgotten they have him on loan.

    I’ve been through this one before, you’re mistaking ‘lack of effort’ for ‘ lack of confidence’. At no time this season has Eoin Doyle not put in a shift. His effort yesterday was no different to the effort he puts in to other games. When results go your way it looks like you are putting in more effort but thats not the case, its just that your effort is rewarded with success rather than failure. People used to make the same mistake with Charlie Wyke.

    Only once, at Sunderland, since he came back have i thought he looked off it. Every other game hes worked his socks off and is scoring.

    It's not difficult, I believe it might also be the last we've seen of the lad along with Gibson, Robinson, Jones, Reeves, Wright, Seedorf.

    He does a lot of work that goes unnoticed. In particular his runs create loads of space for the likes of LOB and Payne by drawing defenders away from them. He's a big part of why these players are doing so well.

    But not the others who work harder?

    Do you think he may need an arm around him?

    Different tactics for different players, I'd imagine, just my thoughts on that.

    Thank you for the analysis, but nope I'm not mistaking lack of effort for lack of confidence.

    Interesting you say that, though, as it sounds suspiciously like an excuse.... Is an excuse required if you think he works super hard...?

    He praises all the front three. It's nothing to do with "an arm round a player".

    He praises him for working hard because he, er, works hard. It's really not that complicated.

    Doyle was class against Scunny. Hard work and class and going to Miller and saying well done when he got subbed was ‘class’

    Doyle is decent. Very happy with him

    Not wanting to change the subject of the thread, but I have been wondering the same. Is he injured or just not been selected in the match day squad, anyone know?
    Similarly noticed McCarten is on and off the bench at Lincoln. Is this fitness or form?

    Strange how every week Hopkin seems to praise the workrate and movement of Doyle in every post match interview.

    Patrick just isn’t scoring at Yeovil. He’s back next month.

    Having just scanned the Lincoln forum, my inference is more the former - seems they’re keen to keep him.
