Gary Bowyer decided to exercise City's recall option after Doyle netted 23 goals in 22 games for the Wiltshire club.

It is a good time for Doyle to boost fourth-placed City's striking options with fellow frontman Clayton Donaldson still on the comeback trail from injury.

Here are some of the City's faithful's reaction to Doyle's return online. 

What we need to do now is sit Bowyer down with doyle and look through his 23 goals and learn how to work it into the positions for him. We need to revolve the team round him. #bcafc

On the Telegraph & Argus website, probes67 wrote: "Straight back in the side, in a 4-4-2, feed the Doyle and he will score, welcome back mate."

TBantam: "Hope Bowyer has watched how Swindon play to get best of Doyle and can replicate it ! I dont think they operate with a tall foil for Doyle so let's see. Sensible decision. Hopefully!"

He’s our numberrr 9,
Give him the ball and he’ll score every timeeeee #bcafc

Keith Wildman, owner of the Record Cafe, tweeted: "Second half on the season. 6 points off top with a game in hand. Donaldson and Devitt coming back and the top scorer in the leagues added to the squad. Not been in this good a position for many years. Lets hope GB can capitalise on it. #bcafc

Hopefully Doyle isn't used as a targetman this time. The club have done the right thing recalling him #bcafc

James Storrie @Mr_Stozza tweeted: "I still reckon there’s a chance he’ll end up at Swindon by the end of the window tbh #bcafc
