But don't let that fact get in the way of finding something to piss and moan about.
He mostly played on the left of a back 3.

But don’t let that fact get in the way of Pop being his usual tiresome self.
 
I didn't realise Doyle was a left-back. So now we have three left-backs, all a similar age?

He is a player capable of playing in both positions (lb and cb). Which is handy because he has to in this system.

I don’t see Thomas tucking into a back 3. Kristiansen perhaps, but not as effectively as Doyle…Justin could though.

Doyle doesn't consider himself to be a left back. Contrary to some posts, he said after his debut at Northampton that it was the first time at left back since he was a kid.

He was left side in a back three last season. He describes himself as a central defender.
 
Doyle played loads as a regular left back for Cov last year.

He also fits in perfectly for that position for us as when Ricardo goes awol, we shift to a back 3 which suits Doyle perfectly.

Im not really a fan of the hybrid RB/CM bollocks but if that is the system we will play, Doyle is pretty much the perfect player frofile to play that role.
You mean, there is a point to Doyle and we signed a player who is perfect for the system we are using?

No, that’s not possible.

(Even tho’ that was obvious to everyone but a select few on Sunday).

I could see with my own eyes that he wasn’t comfortable when playing the left back role, he was much more comfortable when we kept transitioning to the back 3. Attacking wise he hadn’t got a clue.

Justin and Castagne would be better options in that role I feel. Also feels odd that we now have 3 who could play that position and yet we’re criminally short of wingers.
 
I've a feeling we won't be short of wingers in a few weeks.
 
Just asked a couple of Coventry fans to give me the lowdown on Doyle. Here's what one of the had to say:

"He played on the left of our back three. Bidwell would normally leave him exposed though so he spent the majority of games playing as a left back. We'll be much worse without him this season as he is solid. He has a mistake in him from time to time but they are rare. He's really good on the ball though".

So, it is correct that he played on the left of a 3 but he seems comfortable enough at LB. He was fine there yesterday. Personally, I'd still go for Justin.
 
My fear is, although Doyle looks to be a very capable player, he is not blessed with pace. I would like to see the back three be a bit more disciplined as a defensive unit and not push quite so far out to the flanks. We were caught out time and again with a quick ball in behind.

Few of our CBs have any really pace. That could prove to be an issue for us

So what was that you said before about ‘fact’?
