    JOB mistake for their goal. Honestly, I’ve never known a player so crap and so associated with failure, but so popular with supporters. Except maybe Michael Doyle.

    And yet here he is for another season.

    He plays with his heart and is good for the squad but it takes a certain quality to see that

    You definitely see the game differently to me, I can’t understand how you could make such a damning statement over either player.

    I love his commitment and passion, maybe his years have caught up abit as with us all but it's good to have someone in the squad abit older who can give advice and fire them up sometimes.

    I agree Michael Doyle was way overrated in that he never had the influence on the team that he was slated to have and was massively overplayed. He didn't have the influence of a player like, say, Don O'Riordan many years ago, who came from virtual semi-retirement to become a key part of Neil Warnock's team which won promotion to Division One.

    Jim O'Brien does sometimes make mistakes, but he usually makes them being brave and trying to take the initiative and do something positive. Most players like that have their good and bad moments, but I prefer them to the Mark Fotheringham or Ian Hamilton types who basically sat in midfield and did nothing. The biggest concern I have about JOB is simply his age and the fact his game is based on energy and enthusiasm. I can't see him being anything more than a squad player in what is presumably his final year, at least as a player.

    Yup squad player only, but a useful one to have.

    I sense his legs have gone, but as Jackal suggested he never goes missing, he always wants the ball. That's important for a central midfielder IMO.

    Good grief, I’d almost wiped Ian Hamilton from my memory. Without doubt a shoe in for my worst ever Notts 11, maybe even captain.

    I like JOB, he obviously can’t influence games like he used to but one of the only players who never went missing or tried to positively affect a game. How many great runs did he make in behind the opposition defence last year only for the CB’s to opt to pass it backwards or sideways?
