Both compliment each other perfectly. Davies hold up play and doing the nasty stuff and Doyle with his movement and work rate And don't forget lazy. Some loved to call him lazy Best pairing these two since Warne and Porter, I'd say. Edited October 23, 2017 by boundaryblue80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last one I can think of was Hughes and Alessandra. Alas, I fear we've got no chance of keeping Doyle after Christmas. Were Davies and Hughes not better? Otherwise Killen and Beckett?

PBL Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Doyle's a class act and guarantees goals - got to make keeping him & Byrne the priority in January - but always liked Davies, thought Shez binned him off too quickly first time round (but then got him scoring at Chesterfield?!). Holds it up, touch has improved and love to see him bullying defenders, he's setting up plenty and if he's getting goals too that's a bonus. Credit to Shez for bringing him back (and loaning Bryan, Byrne, Doyle...) Agreed this is our best partnership for years, both of them put a real shift in and given our top scorers have struggled even to reach double figures in recent seasons, long may it last!

PBL Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Yeah, we got decent money for Davies in the end because he'd signed a contract extension after a good first season, but Shez didn't seem interested in playing him that second year, maybe something off-field. We ended up loaning him out to Stockport - who were in the same division at the time! I just didn't think we got the best out of him then, hopefully he's making it up for it this time around...

Whilst it’s true we’ve had at least one in double figures for the majority of those seasons; sometimes it’s been a midfielder, and rarely has it been a recognised front two. (Apart from Ritchie and Palmer who did it for three seasons) Since them it’s been barren to say the least. These two could be both in double figures by the middle of November if not before.
