He was never anywhere near as good as people made him out to be like, the overreaction after a pre season friendly against Hearts was daft. There was a thread on here about a month into the season after a home game about how incredible he was despite the fact he'd just had a pretty mediocre game as well. Rolls Royce IIRC.

People lose their minds on here when they see a centre half hit a thirty yard pass and go on like they're the second coming of Christ. Jack Baldwin was garbage from pretty much start to finish but loads on here loved him because he hit a few pretty passes in his first few games.

He's decent enough mind, obviously not a poor player and thought he did relatively well in the most part yesterday.
 
Imagine a just turned 18yr old losing confidence in a team that’s not playing well

Shocking he should be rallying the troops
 
Has the physical attributes, football ability and a good attitude. Just inexperienced. If we had more with his attributes we’d be a better side. We have too many who struggle with the physicality of the league and some who aren’t good enough or don’t have the right attitude. He isn’t our issue. He’s been a decent signing who would benefit from a bit of stability In the side and more people playing who can use the ball well.
 
Lads shown he has some talent but at 17 probably isn't ready to be playing week in week out, hit a bit of bad form (as with the rest of the team) and maybes should have been taken out of the firing line for a few games.
 
Must be incredibly frustrating for a player to come from n outfit that is drilled to create 3 options for every pass by moving into spaces to receive as a matter of discipline to arrive at a club where no-one moves off the ball.
Love it when someone is speaking sense. We’ve got geriatric movement. We play such a slow paced game it’s unbelievable. Sheff wed had 30 odd % possession against us but the second they got the ball they moved like lightning. Our play is so laboured. No urgency at all.
 
This kid is a massive reason why we struggle defensively and have conceded a ridiculous amount of goals. He can’t defend to save his life.

People just thinks he’s class because he came from Man City. He’s nowhere near good enough for a team wanting promotion from this league.
Total and utter bullshit. Your doing the classic ' kick em while theyre down. The lad played well earlier in the season and is still putting in decent performances.Do me a favour marra, find another 'target' to satisfy your condemnation...

Looked to get the ball down and play and got overrated as a result. He's a kid playing mens football and learning, he might be fantastic long term but he's not up to it at the moment defensively for me. Mind you he's not alone there, but I don't think it helps him or the team.

Not as frustrating as it'll be watching his lack of urgency to defend or even getting caught dwelling on the ball because you haven't got the options you have for Man City and still trying toplay football in stupid areas, under intense, pressure in league one.

All well and good being a ball player, he's a central defender and that's the area of his game he needs to develop most.

Been poorly managed (like quite a few others as well)
It's good he's getting plenty of game time but playing every minute of every game (especially at centre half) at 18 is absolutely ridiculous.

He’s not putting decent performances in. He’s the mainstay of a defence that’s conceded 22 goals in 17 league games. He’s not good enough to be playing for a team going for promotion out this league.
 
Actually he has been better in recent games. He has flaws as you would expect of an 18 year old but our problem at the moment seems to be an inability to score enough goals as well as defending. Its all going to shit and I don't hold up Doyle as the problem.
No Doyle is not in the list of serious problems at the club...

I think he had a good start but has struggled

Agree, too slow, shite in the air, no heart
