leeslover Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 He'd take a massive chunk of our wages, even if he fancied it it would be a straight gamble on him being fit and scoring 35-40 goals in an otherwise cheapskate team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiler13 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Do we really need him for a league that seems to thrive with physical big centre forwards. That is people like Reed, Lincoln and Akinfenwa, Wycombe . I do think that if we can get Duffus up to speed and play him alongside Holloway we could have a good partnership. Duffus has played well in Ireland and scored goals. I think Doyle is too big a gamble in division 2 because of his health issues. Clayton Donaldson might be a good option seeing he has been released from Sheffield United Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs a good preseason admitted but they love him in Ireland. He seems to have benefited from getting game time there like Edmundson at Flyde so give the lad a chance he seems to know where the back of the net is. Even Doyle found it difficult to get back his fitness after his blood clot and Duffus was in hospital with pleurisy for a couple of months. He seems to be coming good now he has regained fitness and let’s face it he came recommended by big Joe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simplythemostimportantkick Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Keep hearing with a pre season this and a pre season that ! What kind of magical stuff goes on , especially this year ? As they’ve not worked for god knows how long ! It’s a good job no other club has them so we’ve got a head start on all the other teams ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobledgersheart Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 The point being both Duffus and McEleney have had an interrupted season for different reasons so the hope is that with a normal pre-season we can more accurately judge their true worth to the team we all support. Both have had good reviews from people employed in the sport and I would trust their judgement until they are proved wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latics22 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Is league 1 or 2 that different for a player, I think if the money is right they will come. Championship and premier are massive in comparison but league 1 league 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L1onheartNew Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 One thing has plagued me since the Northampton game. The camera was on Byrne sat on the ground head in hands. Who should jog past but Doyle. No consoling, no nothing. He just jogged past like nothing had happened. I found that quite bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickjagger Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 After all the hype and polava with the stay now song ultimately think in hindsight this is why we got relegated we thought it was not possible to go down with ED in the side and the goals that would follow sadly that did not materialize and was not wise put all our eggs in one basket.

losesome Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Your right , think RW not only convinced himself but the rest of the team that once Doyle was back there was no way we would go down. The big problem was he negated all his scoring potential by playing Nazon with him. Not saying it was Nazon's fault but the partnership just didn't work.
