If I was a Hibs fan I'd get 10 PISH on the back of my shirt. He's cost me £300 Hibs last team I'm waiting for.

[H18sry]

Well the 2nd half has not helped me change my mind the 3 best chances of the game fell to him and he blew it.

[madabouthibs]

He's pish, so is Griffiths to be honest but he gets a game every week.

What about the inept performances from Soares? Stevenson? Our midfield is the real problem, no a guy who's been given a run out because O'Conner isn't feeling well.

I don't think Doyle is any great shake, I just think your criticism is a wee bit harsh when there are clearly so many other imposters in that team who deserve a rollicking before Doyle does.

[Part/Time Supporter]

He's a striker who can't beat a goalkeeper from the penalty spot or hit an open goal from 18 yards.

Pass.

Its all about opinions, none of the other players had 3 gilt edged scoring chances, which as a striker makes or breaks you. And who is O'conner?

Ye it's all about opinions right enough, think your being very harsh on the Doyle fella.

What's with the who is O'Conner?? Oh you mean the spelling?


O'Connor. there fixed it. Deary me, you really are pathetic.

We've got O'Donovan and Sproule there, I'd put one of them on.

Well they made a difference didn't they.

You can't expect a guy who has had a few minutes run out over the last 10 games be anywhere near sharp.

I'm surprised that you think a bounce game against a bunch of reserves and kids is much preparation for playing in a relegation battle.

Irrespective who it is against it is still game time, and he could not even score against kids and reserves in open play, as you put it.

Very harsh

Nowhere near good enough. We desperately missed O'Connor today!

[Gatecrasher]

created our best chance of the game by himself and had very little service.

we cant expect him to come in and automatically be a prolific goal scorer. he has a lack of match practise.

if he was playeing for a month and not score i would be saying "get him out" but not yet.

he does seem a bit slow though

No one expects that, however the two chances he had today are as good as you get in the SPL. We don't have the luxury of allowing chances like that to pass us by at this stage of the season. Doyle simply HAD to take one or both of those for the good of the team/club. This is isn't a practice run for the real thing or a series of training sessions. We need MEN who can deliver at this level. Sadly, it does looks like Doyle is better suited to Div 1.

[bingo70]

I like him, he's had to create chances by himself, of course he wasn't ruthless with the chances he created but considering how little game time he's had that's not surprising, if Griffiths was slated every time he missed two chances he'd have given up football by now.

Imo he was brought with next season in mind and I think he'll do well for us.

He does train though and any half decent striker would have scored at least one of those chances, if not both.

Their goalkeeper was virtually level with his left hand post for the first one. Why would you choose to try and guide the ball over him when all you had to do was stroke it into the unguarded side of the goal.

Accept he created the second chance himself but 10 yards out, keeper is plumb in the centre of his goals and you can't find a corner of the net?

= lower league quality striker

[bingo70]

I'd imagine that most strikers use the keepers as a marker as to where the goals are so when the keeper came out at such a weird angle that probably caused Doyle to get his angles wrong.

Doyle was getting stick before the game even kicked off today and I'm totally baffled by it, I'd guess his goal scoring record is probably up there with Griffiths considering Doyle has hardly played but scored a few goals

Torres missed easier chances for weeks on end. Is he lower league quality too? Thought not.

[Chrissie_aka_Davoo]

He's not good enough, end of. Strikers are not payed to be "liked". They are paid to score. Doyle is out of his depth, much like Pat Fenlon.

Surely they didn't buy him with the 1st Division in mind?....

[Alfred E Newman]

So according to some of the garbage on this thread it will be Doyle`s fault if we are relegated. What a load of absolute rubbish. Yes he missed a couple of sitters but to blame todays dreadful result on him is ridiculous. I don`t see any mention of Osbourne and his fresh air shot ( that guy is a total passenger)
or Francolme or Docherty blasting the ball nearer Glasgow airport than the goals. There are far bigger problems with the side than Doyle.

[Piqué]

Strikers need games, Doyle has hardly had a look in lately but folk are expecting him to step in to the team and start scoring straight away. Look at the amount of time Torres has had for Chelsea and only now is he starting to look like hitting some form. There's no chance Doyle will be given as much time as Torres but he needs a chance to get match sharp without the fans jumping on his back.
