    Eoin Doyle

    Is he a winger in disguise?

    No. He is a player being played out of position., which is a Hibs habit we need to get out of. Ran himself into the ground though.

    That's where he used to play in Ireland.

    Work with a former LOI player who speaks very highly of the lad (and also of PF).

    Done well today and chased everything down.

    Just needs to work on his heading a little by the looksnof it.
    Mon the Hibs.

    what about Mayburys sprint up the pitch, potential winger in there :-) lol

    Doyle worked his erchie off and can do a good job there (on either side), good move by Pat today. Pleasing thing was we created chances too and didnt just sit in for the whole game.

    Thought he was tremendous on that wing today but perhaps a bit lacking in fitness, probably a lot more work than he was used to. Would happily play him there next week.

    Thought his movement on the wing looked good. He actually seems to try and get in behind the defender rather than hogging the touchline like a statue.

    Worked his erse off too.

    Thought the manager made 1 small mistake today. Sparky was knackered and needed to come of but IMHO Handling should have come on up front (or Caldwell) and Doyle left against Isiguire 'cause he was ripping him to bits and was going to get a pen , a yellow card or even red card . Maybe even a goal , he had him on toast in attack and defence and to me looked their weakest link and should have been attacked more. By the way the one pen claim we had was dubious at best but was a stick on corner.

    He played well today and defended brilliantly on occasions.

    When he got caught by I think McCourt some lad behind me was shouting about him being pish . Good play from a RB, and he's no spring chicken either!

    I've said all season how highly I rate Doyle. Put in a phenomenal shift today and was unlucky not to score. He snatched at both chance a bit too quickly but he was superb otherwise.

    reminds me of Stevie Crawford with his work rate for the team, excellent today.should have been subbed around 70mins...

    Great player and well suited to this level. Fantastic reader of the game and I think he's our most intelligent player.

    It was he ran himself into the ground today and lasted the full 90 minutes which was great

    I'm struggling to name my MotM, for all the best of reasons. I think that Eoin probably shades though for all his work and a large measure of class.

    Simply he plays for the team or where Pat asks him to play. He's played left or right in a few games, where he has a great engine to support the full back or get forward. He obviously would prefer to play up front, but we don't have too many players who can play that wing back position, hence the reason we may be interested in Liam Craig

    He had a great game and his tracking back defensively was fantastic. I would have given him motm but for the fact he's a ginger

    Much improved on his Ross County display, he needed just a weebit more composure in the box sometimes today

    I really rate Doyle. His workrate is second to none and I think some folk underrate his skills. There was evidence of this in extra time when from a high clearance from McPake, he killed the ball on his foot and saw off two or three Celtic players before making a good pass down the right wing. He more than deserves to be a first pick in the team these days.

    To me Doyle did a fantastic job - exactly what a winger should

    He was brilliant at tracking back and putting a tackle in

    Going forward he took his man on at every opportunity

    No coincedence that we never lost a goal today because he and the rest of the midfield were prepared to do the dirty work tracking and tackling

    Joint MOM with Claros for me

    Well done Doyler

    Hope Pat keeps you RW for the derby

    Gave 100% - thought he looked a bit rushed and flustered today, usually so composed and intelligent player - GG

    I thought Doyle put in a great shift, thought he he tracked back and put some good tackles in as well.

    Sorry but that's incorrect! He even said that to the fans in an interview when he first joined! HE was an out-and-out, record breaking striker at Sligo
    Just a common misconception!

    Can we get him to the gym more often to work on his strength. Particularly upper body. The amount of times he gets shoved off the ball frustrates the hell out me. He needs to learn to jump a fraction earlier too.

    He gets a lot more space out wide than he would in a more advanced central position. His movement is his real asset, and that extra yard of space makes all the difference.
