GCM Posted June 15, 2021 Report Share Posted June 15, 2021 Curtis Lyle shows on club website, if (god forbid) Doyle is signed as player/coach cannot see us, as a Championship club signing any more than one more keeper. That means whoever that keeper is he better stay injury free for whole season or we are in bother. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Doyle signs he’ll be 2nd choice and coach which means there’s a fair chance he will play a part at some point. He might make a good coach but he’s a terrible keeper. It’s bad enough he played his part in our relegation but we shouldn’t be risking a promotion push with a crap keeper 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weirdly, the most gutless Kilmarnock side from our time in the premier, finished on exactly the same points as the last time we finished 2nd bottom. And I’m sure we all remember MacDonald was the keeper on that occasion 2015/16 - Kilmarnock 36 points from 38 games. Goal difference of -23. 30 points from the 35 games Macdonald played. An average of 0.87 points per game. 2020/21 - Kilmarnock 36 points from 38 games. Goal difference of -11. 11 points from the 11 games Doyle played. An average of 1.0 points per game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weren't most of Doyle's games against bottom six sides? Surely that would make his stats look better? Nevertheless it was the cup game performance that was unforgiveable! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he was personally responsible. Not the defence in front of him. You're like a f**kin broken record about Jamie Mac Donald. Won managers player of the year at Raith this season and best individual performance. Not as good as Woodman or Bachmann but far far better than anything we've had in goals the last 2 seasons. 28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaching a team is about set up tactics etc. Goalkeeping is a specialist position and so is goalkeeping coaching. Rather than naming successful managers who played few games name successful goalkeeping coaches that have played very few games. I’ve given you 4 Premiership goalkeeping coaches with lots of games under their belt. I’ll give you another one Jamue Langfield 371 games. Colin Stewart at Rangers has played more games than Doyle. I could find a lot more successful goalkeeping coaches who have played lots of games than you can find with few games. Wonder why that is?

And tbh the fact Lee Clark, Steve Clarke, Angelo Alessia and Alex Dyer all recognised MacDonald wasn’t good enough, is a better gauge of his abilities than a fans forum poty and a championship managers player of the year awards. Larry was better than him too btw. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaching a team is about set up tactics etc. Goalkeeping is a specialist position and so is goalkeeping coaching. I believe that Manu Sotelo, Brentford’s GK coach, never played professionally. It’s a specialist position but anyone who has studied the mechanics of goalkeeping - positioning, angles, handling, reading the game etc - can coach it. Where being a former pro might be advantageous would be the psychological side of the game but I can’t imagine many of the professional GK coaches being able to deliver that better than a sports psychologist could. I can understand why people would think that being an ex-pro is an essential requirement of a GK coach but it really isn’t. I can recommend a book called Scientific Approaches to Goalkeeping in Football, by Andy Elleray. Edited June 15, 2021 by skygod 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot see him in any real contention for starting place. However, for folk to to say that if he does end up a GK coach at the club they won’t come to games, not buy season tickets is a huge over reaction. TW is doing well to bring in available players of what seem a decent standard. I can’t believe he will not get a decent keeper in. He’s not daft. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bute-killiefan Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 Manchester City GK coach - Xabier Mancisidor. 21 career appearances for Alaves in Spain Manchester United GK coach - Richard Hartis - Didn't play professional football Liverpool GK Coach - John Achterberg - Played for Torquay Tottenham GK Coach - Nuno Santos - 20 year career, played 208 games, mainly in Portugal Chelsea GK Coach - Hilario - A very good goalkeeper who had a great career. Bayern Munich GK coach - Toni Tapalović - played reserve football in Germany Real Madrid GK coach - Rafael Martín Vázquez - club legend PSG GK coach - Gianluca Spinelli - journeyman, barely played. Point is, regardless of how bad Doyle is/was as a player, it doesn't reflect his potential ability as a goalkeeper coach, at all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but if you are coaching you need credibility and after last season that will be in short supply. Not to say he can’t turn that around when he starts working with the other keepers though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCM Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 There is no doubt that a person can be a good coach and/or manager whether they have played at a reasonable level. The main problem for me is that we may have Lyle and Doyle with one other keeper coming in as the number 1. If like what happened with Eastwood last season that keeper gets injured early in the season we will be stuck with Doyle in goal again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
