"Doyle has been at Davies’ beckon call"
Wow.
The headline did draw me in, I have to admit- being someone who's totally ignorant of terms of this loan deal, I was a little concerned there was a danger of Doyle being recalled by Wolves, but no.
Just a short article about whether Doyle has any chance of starting ahead of Paik on Saturday, given that Paik played 76 mins v Brazil last Friday and was an unused sub v Paraguay on Tuesday. Just raises that question.

Wow.
Atrocious.
I have started to wonder whether Paik and Iwata's struggle to fully express themselves this season is in part due to the excessive number of games they were forced to play last season. My biggest criticism of CD last season was that he refused to utilise his squad (we seem to have the opposite problem this season).
It could just be that the level is higher and they're struggling to adjust but they were flogged last season.
I think they're both doing what Davies wants from them.
This. Davies trusts them.
But he now has a choice as to whether to carry on with them as is, tinker round the edges, slightly change their roles to allow us to go forward more (taking account that means we might be more open to counter) or change the personnel in there because I think it's pretty clear the way we played last year isn't going to get us where we want to be in this division.
Risk and reward.
