Cheers for posting.

He took all the corners in that Bournemouth match, but most were pretty average. A couple were great (including the one leading to the goal) but he also took a few shockers, including one that was driven hard into the side netting.

Overall he had a really great game, but his corner taking wasn't the best part of it.

Re Doyles corners,if you watched the whole match i,ll take your word for it...but the 3 shown in the highlights above were all top drawer,imo...each of them different,and placed accurately, onto a City players head,leading to a goal,and two goal bound headers which were saved,at point blank,on the line.
Thats quality corner taking in my book,and bodes well for the future.To be able to vary the delivery of your corners,to such a degree,at that age,shows real talent.
Also the lofted pass out to the left wing on1.09 of the video highlights was superb...absolutely inch perfect,showing both great vision and technique,right down to leaning back slightly as he connected to ensure the ball gained height to take out about 3 Bournemouth defenders.
Promising.

Youtube have it on.

Not sure if it got a mention but the Bournemouth captain (5) is the late Gerry Gows grandson.

Assuming permanent given there's no mention of it being a loan? Bit of a left field move

Perhaps he's gone there to study as well as play, a lot of sports people go to university in the US, maybe got a scholarship ?

Yeah, it’s permanent. We have better goalkeepers in the academy, so not that arsed

The U18s lost 4-2 today. Taylor Richards and Henri Ogunby with the goals. Nice to see Ohio and Burns with the U18s

Excellent tonight against a good WBA. A couple of crazy mistakes gave them 2 chances and one was a goal but overall we dominated . Ben Knight excellent and not just for his 2 goals but so many of them played great. Hopefully the injuries to Knight and McDonald are not serious as they are key players.
