Didn't take long for the scapegoat hat to pass to Doyle... Amazing after the FU tour how much he was 'the answer' and now is not fit to lace up Ernies slippers.

He is a young player and like Fenton and Boyd in their first seasons, he is going to make mistakes. Now Fenton is an HAL player of reasonable quality and more than a few think Boyd is 'the answer'. Give the lad time to develop. He'll make mistakes and learn and providing that are not game costing mistakes and he does learn, then I am ok with that.

LBs don't fall out of thin air and we have already run through Lochhead, Hogg, Rowe..... (Hogg was the answer too) You can't run everyone out of town and at some point, we have to let someone settle into the role.

This is what I was trying to get at with my post above. He needs more chances to get confidence and experience at this level. He generally looks comfortable, and has done good work but those occasional errors are a concern which will hopefully disappear as he gets more games under his belt.
