Kevin Doyle

[Stanley]

Very average. Yes he has 2 goals in 3 games but doesn't look good on the ball, no pace, falls over quite a lot. But then again we've been used to Charlie all season.

And yet he's had a better start than Charlie, who didnt score in his first 5 games or something...

[Rebel R's]

Not impressed with him, yes he works hard so is average at best

As long as he puts the ball in the net I don't care if he doesn't have pace.

How about if he scores in every game or every other game until the end of the season, would you still be worrying about his lack of pace or him falling over?... my point being lets give the guy a break, he's only been here for 3 games and he's got 2 goals... his job's to score goals and that's what he's doing.

He could have had 2 today if his neck was longer.
Doyle is getting in the right positions that you would expect from a Goalscorer.
He certainly shouldn't be getting any abuse as he is scoring goals so far.
It's the defence that's gone to *#*# that is letting us down.

This!

Onuoha's pace is missed at the back forcing our midfield and the rest of the team to either stay back in support, or play further up to hopefully score, but risk shipping goals..

I know he is Club Captain but Hill needs to be rested.
He is really struggling against anyone with the slightest bit of pace.

451 affords the extra man to cover their lack of pace. Dunne and Hill can no longer be played in the same team if Arry plays 442.

I really think Hill needs a rest, we have a great replacement in Onouha to replace him until Hill gets back up to speed again.
Against Derby and again today he is trying to play the offside trap and is not even timing that right.
Having Nedum in, he won't get beaten on pace.

[UltraPleb]

Nothing special but it's difficult to criticise when he's scored two in three. And since we don't really have any better options I think we'll have to stick with him.

[Hoop-du-Jour]

He knows where the goal is and he knows, like today, when there's a chance of a rebound, where to be to take advantage of it.

Just because there ain't much service (too busy covering the back 4) there ain't much point slating him.

What is the combined age of our back 4 today? 130 years old? Eeesh!
