Callum Doyle

[foxile5]

Didn't see a player thread so though I'd get one going.

 

Very impressive debut. Thought he defended exceptionally well and was very vocal. Added a much needed bit of bite to the team.

 

Hopefully he's one we can make permanent.

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

Very solid and looks a gem. As you say looks like he’s a leader as well, and at a young age 

[Aleksz]

Solid enough. Not quite on the same wavelength as Mavididi yet but to be expected and will come with time I’m sure.

[Buzzell]

Solid debut.

[alanf0x]

Thought he had a solid debut and robins said after that he had a poor game to his standard, so good to hear! 

[AKCJ]

When that KDH, Mavididi, Doyle triangle starts clicking it will be too much for a lot of teams at this level.

 

Really impressed with Doyle today. Loved how he played the confident pass forward through the press. Played Mavididi through a few times in the second half.

 

More to come from him no doubt.

[Bezzanator89]

As far as first games go, that was an all-round good performance. Even got some jibes from the away support but he kept his head, one to definitely keep an eye on this season, and be sure that other clubs will be too.

[FosseSpark]

Looks like a left cb to me. Not too pacy, but quicker than vestergaard. We need to.offer our CBs a bit more protection than harry winks though. In reality cov had 3 or 4 single ball clean through situations, so our press isnt fully operating yet.

[RowlattsFox]

Would love to have made this permanent. Looks real quality and a great attitude. 

[StanSP]

Was the plan always to have him play at LB? 

 

I thought he was better at CB, and perhaps it speaks volumes that Maresca isn't preferring Thomas or Justin. 

I expect to see them at Burton though. 

 

Resigned to Castagne going so I'm actually glad he didn't play today and take up space.

id say hes probably be the left side CB with Coady to the right, with maybe VK at LB, 

 

as VK seems fast, taller , stronger and better on the ball than Thomas

He's playing as the left CB in this system we are playing a 3 back generally as Riccy slips into CM.

 

Only at the very end when Riccy went to a tradional RB role did he play as a proper LB.

[CosbehFox]

Wasn’t that impressive to be honest. Completely lost his head and shape for a period today. 
 

Still he’s clearly been good enough before in this division. So it will come

I said that about Tete after the Villa game. 

[lee7]

Really good debut and great to see a left sided defender that isn't afraid to play forward passes into dangerous areas. 

 

Only thing i worry about for the future is his lack of pace up against fast wingers. 

[shailen]

I thought he gave the ball away too easily today with aimless balls which we cannot do in the system we play but decent enough debut!!

It could have been you

I didn’t really get that chant. Presumably stating it could have been him instead of mcfazdean?

[StriderHiryu]

This guy is just 19 years old. Not only did he have a very impressive playing performance, he was getting pelters from the away fans all match and didn't let it phase him. Towards the end, he and Mavididi started to combine quite well together, there looks like an exciting partnership there that could be formed.

 

Seems like a no-brainer to turn into a permanent move because he will only go up in value. He will be playing in the Premier League next season 100%, hopefully it's with us.

They only met each other on Wednesday

 

Mark Robbins said post-match that Doyle will turn into a star player for us. (he'll then get recalled by Man City next season... :-( )

[Langston]

I wasn't blown away, but there's certainly enough to go off from today.

Great point over looked by the majority.

I think they were just saying you could have been part of this winning team, rather than be part of a losing Leicester side.

Played some lovely cross field passes aswell

Same he didn’t really shine for me, but he wasn’t bad either. But the nature of covs gameplan meant he wasn’t going to have a huge amount to do either
