He hasn't got two feet touching the ground, so it's a foul throw!What’s wrong with it?
Never see the towel used in their own half! When at home, we should get our ball boys to nick them when the play is in the other half.i still believe the FA should ban towels fr drying the ball at throw ins! its time consuming and slowing down the game.

It’s not part of approved equipment. They will be introducing tees for the ball for penalties next.i still believe the FA should ban towels fr drying the ball at throw ins! its time consuming and slowing down the game.
Should have given him another yellow.He (Furlong) was using the towel in his own half when he got booked for time-wasting (then carried on afterwards drying the ball, before sneaking up the line and gaining a few good yards)!
He’s not out of his depth don’t be daftDoyle misses the simplest of headers. I know he could/should be in the U-21 squad along with the others (Bidwell aside, obviously) but there's no excusing that at any level. He also missed a bolt on sitter. It's not his fault but, like the other defenders, he's out of his depth and learning the game at our expense.

Doyle????If you reckon he'd start for any team in with a fighting chance of the top 6 you're having a Turkish. The lad just isn't at the level of regular 1st team starter yet and that's not his fault.
It's like the goalkeepers time-wasting. Once the ref has booked them, they know he won't be brave enough to book them again for that same offence. Never seen it yet (although bet it has happened somewhere?!)Should have given him another yellow.

Im not sure you’re correctHe wouldn’t be anywhere near a promotion chasing team as a first choice centre back in this league
With McFadzean next to him he's much better. Without, well, like Panzo he's struggled.Im not sure you’re correct
I'm sure he isIm not sure you’re correct
That's the point really. These kids need experienced, quality players around them to learn from otherwise they're only learning from their mistakes...With McFadzean next to him he's much better. Without, well, like Panzo he's struggled.

Panzo was still culpable early on. Ball watching at Millwall and he’s been playing spot the ball ever since
Doyle is not a top six defender. He gets caught flat footed a lot - can be weak im the air and struggles for pace
To be fair to robins he admitted they were not the same calibre and experience of last years loans
Centre back is a punishing position for a rookie-this is why the defence has fallen apart in the absence of any leadership and experience, with an erratic goalkeeper behind them.
And they still can and do.its funny because years ago football was very different and very young centre halves could play against top level centre forwards if any good as they would in any position
And they still can and do.
But it's true it's more punishing because errors are more likely to be take advantage of while good play goes largely unnoticed by many. As an attacker you can lose the ball loads of times but score a worldie and the world loves you. As a defender you can block, tackle and be in position for the entire game but have one lapse of concentration that lets the opposition score and that's what people largely remember.
But it's very rare you have pretty much all your centre backs as relatively inexperienced. Even in the past you'd have at least one who was 25-26 with a few seasons under their belt. Those that come in and hold their own against top players consistently at a young age are few and far between.
Funnily enough it was the centre half position I’m thinking of - late 70’s and early 80’s our centre halves often were two players under 22
