Tommy Doyle: Home goal is hopefully first of many
Tommy Doyle hopes his excellent first goal in front of home supporters will be the first of many.
The Bluebirds playmaker slotted home after a fantastically-worked team move to level the scoring against Stoke City on Wednesday night, his second in a Cardiff shot but his first in the Welsh capital.
TOMMY DOYLE:
He hopes there is more to come on that front, saying: "It’s my first goal here, and hopefully it’s the first of many! Obviously after the international break we’ll kick on, and see what happens.
“It was an important win going into the international break, and I think it was needed. We’ve been playing well, and obviously today I think we played very well also. First and foremost, we didn’t deserve to go 1-0 down. But, it happens in football, and I think we’ve got the togetherness and the fight - like you’ve just seen, we’ve bounced back from that, and to score two goals like we did and win the game is important.”
After the international break, of course, it's the small matter of the South Wales derby against Swansea City at home, a the perfect occasion for him to improve his home goalscoring form. And Doyle believes Cardiff, in the run of form they are in, will pose the Swans quite the threat.
When asked if he was looking forward to the derby, Doyle said: "Massively. For us it's that extra bit of fight and passion. But for us it's just about playing our normal game and our normal game is good enough to beat anyone.
"Hopefully we will go and get three points against them lot."
