Who would he pick instead of Doyle? Batth is injured and Xhemalji was struggling with his movement in the U23s until he was forced into the bench because we sold Flanagan.

Well that's the million dollar question.
However given inexperience and the way Doyle and at times Cirkin have been playing and defending and have been imposed on physically I would say its imperative to at least get Doyle out of the heart of the defence, even if its just moving him out wider.

Whether that means playing as a three like we did a few months back and moving him wider, which lessens his impact and that might require a fullback in there om one side or even something more drastic - whether that's Arby, whether it's even (God the thought of it) Winchester or Evans or Hume, maybe we should be desperately looking at the free list and looking at anyone who has either played games this season or has been with a club till January - it has to be better than keeping the status quo and presenting the same problem. Hell even some form of rest and being taken out might do Doyle more good in the short term, as let's be honest it's not going to harm our current results.

Sure you can look at him as being one of only a couple of fit centre halves, but the same thing is pretty evident with Dan Neil and he's keeping him in too.
 
Nutters on the Internet 🙄

Is Batth a new injury, the local paper says he's fine and was training through the week. Only concern for todays game was Gooch.
 
Agree with 1st part. Disagree with 2nd. Theres no fix for the defence we have cos theres no other options to replace the young lads. Unless he chooses to play more defensively which will go down like a sack of shit with supporters
He needs to play a more defensive line. We were caught too far up the pitch. Also we need to link the defence to the midfield - Cory Evans is not the man for that.

It’s schoolboy stuff.

Wright to man mark Eisa/head the first ball.

Doyle to cover.

Doyle looked off the pace but there isn’t anyone to replace him.

That isn’t Neil’s fault.
 
That's what happens when a club makes an unpopular appointment and there is no improvement or impact from the off. He'll be gone at the end of the season, another scapegoat.
 
whilst he's inherited an absolute shambles I've no idea what he's trying to do. we're comedy gold at the back and create the square root of fuck all going forward. think we've had two shots on target in his 2 games. and one of them was a free kick

Agreed. It can be sorted.

I’ll judge Neil after 6 or 7 games. He needs to get to know the players very quickly. Their good points and their bad ones. And he needs to create a team. We still look too disjointed.

He went over on his ankle before the Wimbledon game. He’s back in training but wasn’t ready to play. I’m pretty sure Neil said he was touch and go in his press conference
 
It’s not Neil’s fault no one wanted him, but I don’t understand why the club gave him the job. It’s a waste of time.

What I can say is that Keane would not accept the lack of urgency aggression which started before LJ was sacked and continues now.

What do you mean no one wanted him?

Get a grip man FFs

How do you know no-one wanted him

Being a realist he was my 1st choice although Keane would initially have given us an uplift but after....
