Lee Sinnott Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I hate trying to put the burden all on one player, but our L1 survival firmly rests on Doyle's shoulders. If he is back before stated by Wellens and Doyle, which I think he will, and he carries on his form from earlier in the season, then we will stay up with ease. If he is out until mid-March, and it takes time for him to find his feet again, then I think this could be our year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s strange because this side is so much improved on the ones from the previous 3 or 4 seasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The risk with contact sports and anti-coagulants (he might not be on Warfarin) is internal bleeding. Judging by the state of my legs after watching some games if he plays on Warfarin he might not be able to walk due the bruising. That's without the head injury risks etc. If you have played whilst on Warfarin, you are a much braver man than me (there's an alternative view but I don't want to insult you). He is able to fully train (non-contact) though. It might even make him fitter in the long run. Yeah you're completely right with the internal bruising/bleeding point. Hopefully he'll be fully up speed by March Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defence isn't as bad as people think, midfield (apart from fane) don't do their jobs. Formation needs a drastic change but, I can't see a formation that would suit at this moment, with our diabolical midfield/winger options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We somehow need five or six points from the next three games and that in itself is a big ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope someone else will take on the mantle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worrying thing about that in itself is beside the possibility of a setback from that date, even if it is mid_March he'll have to ease back in as a sub for a few games, only Pompey, Walsall & Wigan. Therefore he won't start games till April at least and that is 6 games. That is a huge ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps but if he is not on anti-coagulants it's going to be psychological. Somewhat like how players who have been injured in bad tackles might not go into as many tackles as they should. Provided Doyle is off the anti-coagulants I'd have no qualms about him being fit to play, if he is able to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dec666 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Doyle's girlfriend/wife on twitter has tweeted she'd love it to be mid March already. I just don't see this being the ruse we hoped it was, to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't like giving to Playershare for a variety of reasons, including the fact I have never forgiven our managers for signing the likes of Jokts and Fuller with the money, but I will donate a tenner to the cause if Doyle doesn't play a game until the middle of March...
