Outrageous that

 

Over the course of the 40 odd game season yes, bucketloads. I would love to see what evidence you base that one because I think we'll only see one type of player and that's a shit one. Contrast his performance over the weekend to Gibson, also in an unfamiliar position and also arguably an attacking, confidence based player. Gibson is also about 7 years younger yet got his head down, got stuck in and showed a bit about him. Doyle just pranced around a bit, didnt really try and offered nothing. Why people keep making excuses for him when we could bin him off and spend that money better I do not know.

 

24 goals in his last 67 is the evidence I'll offer.

You got anything for me regarding Gibson, apart from "he's 7 years younger"?

 

What you chatting lol I didn't say Gibson is better although tbf if he keeps it up he will be by the end of the season. I compared them to highlight Doyle's shitness as opposed to how good Gibson is and how you're just making excuses for him. Even Simon bloody Mignolet took the ball round him with ease. He was dogshit all last season, same poor attitude and application as the rest and when a chance did come his way, he usually missed it. Evidenced by the fact most of his goals last season were penalties. Can't pass, no pace, no strength, mentally weak so why would you have him leading the line again when he failed so miserably last season. Do you think it was easy for young O'Brien for example, playing in such a crap team in his first senior season? He still performed well despite all the crap going on so why does shitty Doyle get a free pass?

 

....and what support did Eoin Doyle have last season? Scannell out for most of the season and we had no left winger? Teams nullified Payne and our midfield was over-run - completely imbalanced. We didn’t play to Doyle’s strengths and we didn’t give him that striking partner he so craved in Jan, because we committed ourselves into paying Payne’s wages.

His goal scoring record is decent. He’s been snatched up by bigger clubs than us, paying more money than what we currently are. That doesn’t happen if you’re dog shite.

 

Conversation over. I didn't realise you were a minor.

 

Informal language?

How can I argue when you use such descriptive words like "Doyle's shitness", "dogshit" and "shitty Doyle" as a way to back up your opinion?

And to think I was simply thinking I'd use stats, like his goal record in the last 50 or 60 games to try and debate it with you. Silly me eh?

 

Akpan is useful at pointing. Like a stronger version of Wright. But with all his physicality he has only ever imposed himself vs Burton. Showed us what he is capable of once last season. For me get rid. If he was going to put last season behind him and show up this pre season I ain’t seen it. And take o Connor and o donnell (captain blame others) with him.

 

Who needs stats, eh?

Sod it, here’s another one;

Doyle’s record in L1 throughout his career: 46 goals in 100 app.

Do I need to remind folk that we’re playing in the league below?

 

When played in his proper position

 

and fortunately they are two players who can realistically be moved on

 

That's not even close to been true though. They were arguably our best players last season....

 

I feel it some mornings after a beer or two

 

"After featuring inconsistently in the side until February, and struggling to find form in that time, the midfielder started 15 of the Brewers' final 17 games of the season and became a key performer"

Let's hope he can show up before the last couple of months this season then.

Interesting to note the impressive performances can just at a time when his contract was expiring though. Barry Conlon anyone?

 

When I ended up managing the side I played where I wanted. I even had a go up front

 

Fair to say you were decent then! When you had two legs

 

I've told you why I replied how I did. I'm not sure how else I can explain it any better. I'll apologise if you genuinely feel insulted though. Anything to get back to talking about the actual point.
