There were very few positives in that disappointing Severnside derby loss for Cardiff City, but Tommy Doyle was undoubtedly one of them.
The Manchester City loanee was thrown straight into the starting line-up for the clash with the Robins and he looked a cut above the rest from the very first kick of the ball.
Unjaded by the rigours of this increasingly torturous Bluebirds season, Doyle played with a freedom and imagination we have not seen for quite some time.
