Doyle is only the 20th player to score over 20 league goals in a season for Swindon since the war, thats a damn good achievement on its own.
To have done it (and hit 21 goals) in only 19 games is absolutely amazing.
No Swindon player since the war has hit 20 goals by Christmas in the league either.
Since the war only 15 players have currently scored more league goals in a season than Doyle.
08-09 Cox 29 09-10 Paynter 26 74-75 Eastoe 26 46-47 Stephens 26 02-03 Parkin 25 67-68 Rogers 25 58-57 Edwards 25 48-49 Jones 25 66-67 Rogers 24 15-16 Ajose 24 62-63 Hunt 24 04-05 Parkin 23 91-92 Shearer 22 90-91 Shearer 22 68-69 Rogers 22
Doyle is now 2nd in his own right in the Swindon Town consecutive scoring list on 10 games running.
Thats just 1 shy of the overall record of 11 consecutive games set by Harry Morris way back in 1926-27.
In this day and age that is some achievement even if he doesn't equal or beat the record, absolutely amazing.
Where's Andy Rowland, Alan Mayes and Steve White ?

Steve white on Wiki. Who's been playing?
White career spanned over 500 appearances for nine league clubs, including Bristol Rovers, Luton Town, Swindon Town and Cardiff City. He helped Swindon in several promotion campaigns and played a crucial role in the 1993 play-off victory over Leicester City at Wembley Stadium when he came off the bench to win a penalty. Steve is still held in great affection at the County Ground. His time at the club was notable for frequently straying offside, pulling his shorts up towards his nipples and invariably scoring lots of goals. He was a very awkward player to play against for opposition centre halves. The esteem for Steve was demonstrated when he returned to Swindon with Hereford for a cup tie. His goal for the visitors was cheered equally heartily by home fans as away. Steve came second in the BBC Football Focus Swindon Cult Heroes poll behind Don Rogers [1]

Yes the others didn't but that list is not players who have scored 20 league goals, that are player who have scored MORE league goals than Doyle...hence 22+.

He didn't. A lot of people look at Richard B's site and take stats as read, but he mixes in PO goals with League goals when most stattos see them as a stand alone end of season comp for comparison purposes.

I thought it at the time, and the footage has done little to change my mind, I couldn't help but feel Benda should have done better with that second goal.

I meant 22 as my post stated originally that was ignored.

Edited No I meant the original post that I quoted, which seemed to be ignored for the lower total of 20 goals. Since the war only 15 players have currently scored more league goals in a season than Doyle.
