Tommy Doyle

[Arky_R]

In comparison not sure what Troare brings to the table at the moment

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

Had his big chance and failed to take it.

Gomes and Lemina start on Saturday, IMO.

 

[Rowzed]

Played 100+ minutes today, not sure he misplaced a single pass, always available.
He may not have the mobility of Lemina or Gomes but he’s a pretty handy back up to play the ball out from deep. Can’t count the number of little triangles he played to get the ball upfield with Ait Nouri, Semedo and Gomes.

Exactly for me this was the difference, he took up great positions always knew before he got the ball what he would do with it, its football intelligence at this level that makes the difference.

 

[Matt]

He was great today, gave us great control in the middle with his passing and complimented Gomes well. Nice one Tommy.

Offers something different and has a good football brain.

 

[Kashmire Hawker]

An option for just £5 Million, is something I am sure Gary will be seriously considering to tie up soon.

What a tidy player to have on loan and all we need is a screamer from him, knowing he is capable!

 

[sedgwolf1980]

Pound for pound, our business these last couple windows has been top drawer.

 

[Royal wolf]

As much as I rate Doyle i was concerned when Lemina was absent. Was a great performance though.

 

[Sussex Wolf]

Thought he did very well today.

 

[lets all have a disco]

Had me doubts about him , which was mainly based around physicality.....but he was excellent today....he had very big boots to fill but he did that very well.....all things considered I would probably say he was man of the match ...

 

[wwbug]

Doyle and Gomes have one thing in common .
They are 22 !!!!!!
That's quite a future for us all . If we all want it.

 

[glorybox]

5’8” and 5’9” in CM today. I thought we’d struggle against a Dyche team but they both just passed in rings around them. Football won the day.

 

[Houston Lobo]

Boss of the centre of the park today.
Loved the position he took up to direct things from.

 

[astraltrader]

Tommy proved he is a great back up for Lemina and Gomes.

 

[Wolf 82]

Was sublime to watch.. and I will be honest, I expected them to struggle also.

 

[Aimless Balls]

I don’t know about the MOM chat but he was quite solid today.

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

5’8” and 5’9” in CM today. I thought we’d struggle against a Dyche team but they both just passed in rings around them. Football won the day.

Absolutely, whenever the ball was in the air we struggled, but once it was on the grass we were totally dominant.

 

[OLDGOLD]

Played really well. Nothing overtly flashy, but kept the ball moving, and not always sideways and backwards like we have become accustomed to in previous seasons

 

[el gringo]

Looked like he knew exactly what he needed to do, and did it very well. Including quite a few Neves-style accurate long passes (mostly to Semedo). Very impressive.

 

[el gringo]

Look where he is positioned for the third goal (left wing). He played a big part in that build-up, and it's great to see "non-forward" players getting forward: (Edit: Just going to add, after I posted this, I noticed that this was after a co
rner, which Doyle took)

 

[Wolf in Kenilworth]

A very strong performance today.

My man of the match.

 

[Greeno]

Excellent, no doubt.

Helped that Doucoure and Gueye were missing, though.

Well played Tommy!

 

[sillytuna]

Not the most agile but a good ball player. Won't work every week but great as both backup and an option. Be madness not to sign him if £5m.

 

[GuzzWolf]

An option for just £5 Million, is something I am sure Gary will be seriously considering to tie up soon.

What a tidy player to have on loan and all we need is a screamer from him, knowing he is capable!

Tomorrow hopefully.

 

[BillyBoots]

We have to buy him the lads gonna be hard to hold onto in a couple of years

 

[djmikeydickens]

Wasn't sure he would suit today but thought he was class. Very tidy on and off the ball. The correct choice from GON. £5m is an absolute no brainer.

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

Not agile? What are you expecting? A back flip coupled with a triple salchow?

 

[Ditton Wolf]

He was outstanding today.
Thought he would get bullied by their midfield but how wrong I could be.
Kept the ball moving and kept it simple, he is going to be a real asset for us.

 

[FJRWolf]

Not impressed by him in his last couple of games but tbf he was played out of position. Was a bit concerned about him coming in for Mario today but the lad did well. He did bottle a couple of 50/50 challenges in the first half but got better as the game went on. Added some control in midfield and pinged a good few passes about.
He's a decent 3rd or 4th choice midfield option for the money and can get better yet.
Also thought Traore did well when he came on, raw as f### but powerful and athletic, worth persevering with imo.

 

[SilverstoneWolf]

He is excellent. Always available. Always looking forwards. Always plays simple. Superb addition to squad.

 

[WW1963]

He's got a old head on young shoulders. His reading of the pitch and decision making are top notch.

 

[Dan G WWFC]

reminds me of Paul Scholes

 

[SA Wolf]

I called for Traore to replace Lemina. GON thought differently and was proven right with Doyle. Best game in a Wolves' shirt for sure, although I guess it's easier when everyone around you is playing well and schooling the opposition. Continue like yesterday and the £5m or so he will cost will be a no-brainer and he will give GON a huge headache in selection.
TBF to me, Traore had a decent cameo as well when he came on.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Hopefully we offer him a 6 year deal

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

As good as he was yesterday he doesn't seem to relish a tackle. Pulled out of several yesterday but his overall play was excellent.

 

[Timberrrr]

Proper footballer. One step ahead so never gets tackled.these players are out there. Been brought up training with world class players, it's gotta rub off right?and £5mill?........he's worth £20 now

 

[North West Wanderer]

reminds me of Paul Scholes

Metronomic.

 

[Rowzed]

As good as he was yesterday he doesn't seem to relish a tackle. Pulled out of several yesterday but his overall play was excellent.

I thought this too, which is uncharacteristic, but he missed the start of the season following a block tackle which injured his MCL so perhaps a bit cautious until future tied up.

It’s easy to forget he’s still on trial and needing to prove himself. I saw Joe Hodge looking out wistfully from the bench yesterday who Tommy will know very well. Joe will need to be heading out on loan soon to revive his career, but at a lower level. It’s easy to slip down the ladder on a stupid injury.

Tommy needs the reward of a contract, his City academy deal means he has some security, but not much

 

[Ned]

One of the MOM contenders yesterday, for me. His use of the ball was fantastic; controlled the tempo when needed, always available as an option from the defence and didn’t play over enthusiastic passes from positions where the passes weren’t on. He recycled the ball brilliantly and just kept us ticking, letting the athletic and dynamic players do the attacking.

Hopefully he can carry on from this. I wouldn’t be against starting him in the cup against Brentford, personally.
