Callum Doyle

[Master Fox]

I think this kid is a top notch player. Hopefully we can sign him permanently. 

[TrentFox]

Thought he was ordinary at Saints. Thought he was superb this evening. Guess that’s youth. Suspect he’s only going to get better 🤞

Surprised this hasn't had any posts in tonight. He was up there as MOTM tonight I reckon. Defensively he was everywhere. There's so many good performances tonight but on the back of some honkers, he was class.

I think that's to be expected he's a kid will have peak and dips in form.

 

He was great tonight.

 

 

[SecretPro]

If he can find some consistency (preferable playing like he did tonight) then he really will be class. 

 

My Leeds mate said he watched a lot of him last year (follows Championship football as a hobby) and described him as 'thick' and a 'donkey' which I found interesting.

Much better tonight especially defensively. 

[NW fox]

Can't see them selling him to us at end of the season. 

If he does well he will be 20-25 mill at end of season. What I think will happen will be another loan to us next season in the prem and his value will probably go upto 40-50 mill then they will sell 

[LVFox]

Really good defensively last night but majority of misplaced passes from defence came from him. However he is quite ambitious with his passing and that's going to be a by-product.

 

Big fan, perfect LB for our system.

[Jimmy]

he's doing really well out wide, I wonder what he could do for us in the 8 role at some point, we could see him there when Wilf is away in January

In a knee brace and getting a scan on Monday according to Enzo

Bloody hell didn’t even realise he was injured

 

Thought it was just tactical to bring a bit of pace on

Same. Said he had contact with a player in the first half and couldn't run it off.

[Scotch]

Obv I joke its not serious and he's back ASAP but how good is it to have someone like JJ able to step in without disrupting the system?!

[James_lcfc]

That’s a shame.

 

Thought the change was a bit strange as he was having a good game. They weren’t really threatening so couldn’t see it being tactical.

 

Hopefully it’s not too serious.

[FoxinNotts]

Poor from the club. We now have two fit full backs. Both of them are proper sick-notes as well! 
 

Could easily unravel from this point

Doyle has picked up a 'baddish' knee injury, needing scans to determine how long he'll be out. A blessing in disguise, he's been the worst performer, playing regularly, this season - a call for Justin is long overdue (he's already shown he's back to full fitness).

[MGLCFC]

Perhaps someone can enlighten me. Doyle picked up his injury after about 5 minutes. If this was a serious knee injury, how can he play a further 40 minutes without it becoming worse or have a serious impact on his style of play, which wasn't noticeable.

Ask Ricardo Pereira, he played on with an ACL and even tried to play on with a broken leg.

I did say early on that he looked like he was hobbling a bit and he looked tired and slow. Now we know he had a pretty bad injury! 

[Tielemans63]

Fingers crossed it's nothing too serious. I really like this kid, bags of potential. Played some lovely passes in the first half yesterday. The ball through to an offside Vardy was a pearler.

[les-tah]

Hopefully just tiny cartilage tear at best case… nip and tuck back in 3 weeks

There is no way you can dress up any potential serious injury to valuable squad members as a blessing in disguise.

 

I've not been overly impressed with Doyle overall, a few average wingers have skinned him far too easily, but he has his good qualities, and has played plenty of games at this level. JJ's long term fitness is a concern, and over a 46 game season we need as many first team ready players available as possible.

I think one of the biggest threat to our goal comes from set pieces 

for that reason I count Doyle as a very important member of the back line

I'm hoping it's just an impact injury, his knee was swollen at half time and tightened up and the brace is just a precaution.

[dbtcity]

The way he tried to smash through the ball whilst the lad was flying into a tackle that was probably 70/30 in favour of the oppo winning the ball was only going to end 1 way… hopefully it doesn’t turn out to be to serious as for me Var the odd game he’s been superb! That being said if he is out for a period of time I feel it will be another Coady situation where he’ll find it hard to get his place back as if JJ stays fit I can’t see him dipping back out
