    Eoin Doyle

    Can he emulate another red haired Hibernian centre forward and score in every round en-route to lifting the Cup..? Why not? Good omens always welcomed and so far so good, looking forward to tomorrow's draw.

    When it comes to the Scottish Cup we need every omen we can get and then some.

    Thought he was very unlucky to get taken off yesterday. Chased everything down and looked sharp.

    Lets hope he can keep form, I'd have him in the team everytime over O'Connor.

    The boy is good and given a decent supply will score goals.

    His movement is excellent - the goal was a great example. As soon as the ball left his head, he was turning and moving into space in the penalty box for the return. Very intelligent play and you can see why he's scored as many goals as he has in his career.

    Put in a good shift yesterday. Impressed. Him over GOC any day of the week. As a wee aside hiw rapid is ODonavan? They would both be a handful up top together.

    Was thinking exactly the same thing this morning - although I didn't intend to broadcast it on here

    I wish we wouldn't lump balls up to Doyle though - he's not a target man so what's the point?

    We need to find better ways of playing the 1-2's in and around the box where Doyle is more effective.

    Still not convinced about Doyle yet, sure he chased everything down and put in a lot of effort but he doesn't have the strength and change of pace that I think he will need in the SPL. Great effort from him yesterday though and i hope he goes on to prove me wrong and score plenty of goals.

    Yip, 2 goals in 4 games. He'll never do.

    Neither did/does Kenny Miller, yet what makes Kenny a top player is his awareness in the box, positional sense and workrate. He can sniff out a chance and his intelligence is what gets him goals. I see the same in Doyle. He will get himself on the end of more chances than the other strikers in my opinion. Leigh Griffiths will be a scorer, and provider, as he is a very gifted link up player and striker of the ball. For me a perfect partnership.

    I see him as a poacher. Like his movement and given the right service think he might score quite a few goals for us

    I'm sure once he gets through
    This season and gets a better
    Idea of what he's up against
    In this league,he'll beef up over
    The summer and have a good
    Pre season in,then we'll see a
    Much improved striker next season

    I really like Doyle. His movement is terrific. Him and Griffiths will be an immense partnership imo.

    You need a beaten ginger stepchild in the side with something to prove; that insatiable hunger to show their blonde, brunette and dark-haired siblings and schoolchums that they aren't just there to do the tedious and back-breaking domestic chores everyone else naturally shies away from.

    Keith had it.

    Hopefully Doyle does too.


    What other great ging-gers have worn the famous green and white?

    Chris Jackson
    Geebsie (pre highlights)

    Ooh aah Mitchell.
    Mikey Stewart.
    At least one of the Miller bros was/were a bit gingery I recall?
    Jay Shields?

    We might be stretching the 'great' thing a bit though.

    Hopefully for more than 4 months, I like Doyle so hope that 18mth deal is looked at soon, Griffiths we need that sorted asap both could do damage.

    I agree his movement is great, not sure we will see him too much with grif whilst garry o is fit. Suddenly with them and odonovan and the young caldwell we look to be quite strong up front

    I would definately play Doyle and Griffiths over O'Connor.

    On current form I would tend to agree but have a feeling garry o is the first name on the team sheet for pat, could be wrong of course but that's just the feeling I get.

    Play all 3 grif wide left instead of dw and bring the pitbull in for lewis?

    Saying that I don't like to put all our eggs in one basket, keep one on the bench incase the need to change things.

    Can't drop Stevenson imo, he has been immense. Would even play him LM.
