Cheers for posting that Audrey. What a great article and a good insight into the man. He's really got his head screwed on, and it's clear that if we don't sign him in Jan, he won't stay for emotional reasons. Wellens is our trump card in holding onto him.

Two of my boys go to school at Warneford. You'll have to drink in the King and Queen now, slightly better than the Fishes was. |

Faringdon folks who went to school there might be amused to hear that Mr Proffitt is now the head and Mr Sanderson was also still there last time I heard.

Yeah, still have one kid at Warneford (been in Highworth for 18 years now). Was in the Saracens Head yesterday. Nice refurb. ----------------------------------------------------------- Back to Bantams view on Doyle  |

Jesus, their thread has hit 100 pages. We've managed 14, and half of that is crap about county boundaries!

Interesting in the Irish Independent Doyle has a connection with Pat Fenlon who took him to Hibs and Pat was DoF at Waterford.
Maybe if Power wants to sign Doyle permanently that he could offer him a couple of seasons with us and then maybe a role at Waterford if Doyle wanted to see out his playing days back home in Ireland.

I think that's at least partly because their club are in the driving seat re decision making and hence have something to debate, whereas for us it's wait and see what another club decides to impose on us. |

I dare say it's a case of football fans being football fans. We're no different.
Some will want him back in the hope/assumption that his form will be replicated upon his return.
Some will want him back to 'stitch up Swindon'.
Some will want him back to 'let him rot' for stating that he doesn't want to return.
Some will counter argue that they might as well get rid of him.
Some will stand by the fact that's Doyle is 'shit'.
Needless to say that the outrage was minimal when the loan transfer was announced. More 'hahaha he's shit' than 'what are City thinking!?'
Bradford fans are desperate for promotion and one of their contracted players has made matters slighty more complicated for them. Ultimately, they are a good side without him.
Reminds me a little bit of when Cureton was out on loan. Curo did come back and scored six or seven goals but the damage was done and his heart was elsewhere.

I think on paper we’d still create chances and score goals without Doyle as we do create very good chances, but it’s unlikely anyone would convert like Doyle does.
Unfortunately football doesn’t work on paper so my worry is the psychological impact his departure might have on the team.
