Without wanting to belittle Doyle's season, I think any half decent striker will do well under Wellens.
Yates has a similar scoring record to Doyle when he has been played in Doye's postition. Doyle also had a simliar scoring record at Oldhamd in L1.
Would love to see him stay for another season, but can't really see it happening.

Nobody is going to be offering contracts in the near future - us included. If it is to be football BCD into next year, most clubs will struggle to put a squad together.
I reckon if football does go ahead BCD the general standard will be shocking. Any club with a bit of money - and there will be very few - will hoover up whatever league they’re in.
Doubtful there will be 3 EFL leagues left, tbh.

Corners, and crossing in general, are overrated. Super low xG. Much better recycling possession and creating high quality chances, much to the fury of the Arkells.
100%. At least on corners, although I think we've generally done well from crosses this season. Even where they haven't led directly to goals, some of the balls in from wide have caused chaos in oppo defence which has then allowed us to open them up to have a shot from the next phase. I have no stats at all to back that up, so may be my perception, esp as I'm aware that in general you are correct, the stats show crosses aren't nearly as effective as we all think they are.

No no no no no! Just get it forward, lump it in the box. Have you learnt nothing from the experts in the CG on match days?!

It's all well and good while things are going to plan. You can guarantee he'll be up against a lot of bellendery at some point, though.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change? Crap!

David Artell gets Manager of the Year, can’t imagine Wellens would give a shit about awards like that though

Admittedly only for 9 games, was way out of his depth according to the Crewe forum. He has another year left on his contract too!
