Catch 23 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Injury is set to scupper Conor Doyle's chance of breaking into the Derby starting XI. Doyle suffered a hamstring tear in a reserve-team match last week and will be out for four to six weeks. Rams boss Nigel Clough was planning to use the 20-year-old on the right-hand side of midfield between now and the end of the season. "It is a blow for Conor and bad timing because as soon as we got to the safety mark, points-wise, we were going to take a look at him on the right," said Clough. "With John Brayford out and Paul Green probably having to stay at right-back as cover, it was an ideal chance to take a look at Conor once we had sufficient points in the bag. "He has done ever so well in training but now he is likely to be out for most of the rest of the season." Doyle's only start this season came in the defeat at Peterborough in November. He has made five other appearances as a substitute, the last of which was in the goalless draw at Millwall last month. Meanwhile, Derby are still waiting to discover the extent of the knee injury that captain Shaun Barker suffered against Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night. However, it is clear the problem will rule out the defender for the remainder of this season.

He's another who gets unfairly criticised, I haven't seen enough of him to offer an opinion, but maybe he just needs a run in the side or some confidence to play.

Ramchope Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I've never seen a professional player look so scared on the pitch as he did against Peterborough, it looked like he was about to cry! Seems a hard working lad but from what i've seen he doesn't warrent a place in the starting 11. Would rather see Ball, Bennett, O'Brien, Hughes, Naylor get some game time once we have over 50 points.

RIMBAUD Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 To be honest, there was a touch of irony about the thread title... indeed - but i'm not sure nige sees it that way. can we play tyson on the left and ben davies on the right? - or is that silly. seems to me our current formation in terms of wide players only suits someone who is currently injured.

rammieib Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I originally thought Davies on the left was a bad thing but the more I think about it - I can see Clough on this one. Davies isn't going to run down the league taking people on - his only chance is to cut back inside to put a cross in - so best to have him cut back onto his right instead of his left. Its a limited ability player but thats what DCFC has right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cisse Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 How many hamstring injuries we have had in last two seasons ? What is wrong with our players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Doyle, Tyson and Bavies (who's done alright since in his third chance) seem to be judged a little differently from Cywka, Maguire and Addison. Pearson too could do no wrong. Clough gets on my nerves. Fluck what happens in training. You don't get PTS at Moor Farm. I'd imagine Taraabt doesn't have a great attitude to training. Good job Warnock didn't offload him asap. If your face fits around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-JW- Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 We've only seen Maguire on a couple of occasions and it's obvious he is a much better footballer than Conor Doyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamOfKansas Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I would have really liked to see Doyle in a bit of action. 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' /> Even if he does suck, I'd like to see him do well someday and not suck. Preferably with us.

blackNwhites Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Why do people have to be so harsh all the time? Doyle came to us from college football in Dallas. He's improved quite a bit since he joined us, has also broke into two international youth squads (take a pick) and worked his socks off to get into the first team. One bad game and everybody calls for his head. Gutted for him, seems to always happen to our players at the worst possible times. Hope he gets another chance to prove himself in the not so distant future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
