I think Doyle is a very good keeper but I think that there is a difference between him and the likes of Foster certainly.
He hasn't always taken his chances, he was poor against Coventry last year I thought. I don't actually really blame him for the Maribor game, but he has been guilty of being slow off his line once or twice this season as well.
Equally he was brilliant in both Wolves games (they must hate him, he saved a pen against them a while ago didn't he).
He is closer to Myhill, but since Myhill settled in he too has been excellent and it has been a case of Myhill being really good rather than Doyle doing anything wrong.
The Maribor incident? What about Liverpool away last year in the 5-0 thrashing. I think Doyle has a future but I can only see him being number 1 at another club.
I fear Butland is soon to be number 2. I do like Doyle and he has been at the club for so long, but with new managers coming in and them still deciding to back another keeper at number 1 surely means he just isn't good enough.
I would like to see him get a run of games, but at this crucial part of the season I can't see him being given a chance.
Maribor away....
What does he have to do......
Become a half decent keeper.
He has been a goal keeper under 4 managers at Blues, he hasn't been 1st choice for any of them.
They cant all be wrong

For me Doyle has never really been good enough.
When he took his chance a few seasons ago in the championship he was given the first few games in the premiership but let in too many soft goals and we had to put Maik back in goal and he performed well.
Since then when he has been given a game he has always been poor and looked a bit over weight.
This season he does seem to have lost some of his weight and had a couple of good games but his kicking is still poor and I would not be happy if we went up and he was our number one because he can't kick and lets in too many silly goals!
When CD got his first games in the Championship (iwas amazed) ,i thought that he was going to be our best ever keeper ,but in the first few games in the Premier leage he made a few mistakes and lost his place., i like him. kro.
