reddogkev Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 I don't rate him, don't believe he's good enough for this level. And even though it's not a lot of money for a football club, I reckon we've wasted money buying him (although preventing rovers from finishing in the top 6 was pretty shrewd). He's far too slow, seems to have little ability, and so far, has not adapted to this level in terms of finishing. Furthermore, I dislike City buying players from the gas, and I might be in the minority, but I can never shake the ingrained images I've seen of them celebrating in the blue and white quarters and subsequently, they forever remain tarnished. With this in mind, I wouldn't even want him to do well for City!!! I'd flog him back to the gas if I could. Agree or disagree? Feel free to be vicious if you disagree, it's all fun!

Super Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Didnt our form pick up with him playing up front with Tammy? Thought he did well despite the lack of goals. 300k is peanuts these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZiderEyed Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Totally disagree mate. Think his work rate and drive brings a lot to the team. As Super said, 300k won't buy you much nowadays, certainly not a striker. I think he was a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At £300k he needs to do very little to justify a place in the squad let alone the team. He hasn't been a world beater but he doesn't need to be for that price. He's established himself in the starting 11 and made a decent contribution to securing our survival in a team that has performed better with him in it. In other words, I don't know how you can conclude it's a waste of money. It's petty cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobBobSuperBob Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Dreadful post IMHO - Not sure whether it's meant to be humorous You can't buy a Conference player with one leg for £300k these days and if we wanted to move him on would get our money back and plenty so definitely not a waste of money Has contributed to some vital wins and points and it could well be argued we've had his fees worth already Will he establish himself here / in Championship ? - Not convinced right now but let's see how he gets on next season before rushing into strong opinions As I've said previously , he's not what I was expecting at all and I wonder whether his future lies as an attacking midfielder rather than a goalscorer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTFiGO!?! Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 I believe the only actual reason he was signed was to spite Rovers. £300,000 is small fry for a practical joke such as this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His large number of assists have proved crucial and the goals will come. Some terrible misses though as seems to be snatching at them; too eager to score. He should just do what comes naturally.

Spoons Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 For me he is a better version of Kieron aggard . Not going to score loads of goals but works hard and can't argue since his run in the team the results have picked up. £300,000 is a no brainer.

Reddrive Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Good team player who played his part in City's improvement. Works hard creating space for his strike partner and closing down defenders. Always on the move and dragging defenders out of position. And he is an aggressive little so and so. I think with the summer training , he could get 10/12 goals next season. Need someone to replace Tammy obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveF Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 2 goals and 5 assists in 9 starts and 6 sub appearances isn't too bad. He's our joint highest assister with GON and Tomlin but has made less than half the appearances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderbeans Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 He gets about and pressures the opposition which is what we need but he does have the first touch of a gas head. Not quite doing it as far as goal scoring goes but has 7 assists since joining us which is a good return imo. If he could score as well, we would have a good player on our hands for very little. first time at our level though, not a bad start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downendcity Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Seems to me that Taylor is the other side of the coin to Tomlin. Tomlin cost loads, has all the skill and ability in the world but the team seems to do better with him not playing. Taylor cost peanuts, seems a bit slow, not overly skilful and his finishing leaves a bit to be desired, but his inclusion coincided with our late season run of form and results and the team appeared to be better for him playing.

JBFC II Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Hes our top assister so far, and he's only played 15 games, not bad for 300k imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shtanley Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 300k and on relatively low wages. Lots of assists for a short city career. This was his first season above League 2 give him a little while to reach his best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Taylor has done ok in my view. He's busy, has got some assists and has also created space for others through his movement. On the minus side he's not looked at all clinical in front of goal - maybe a case of trying too hard. Hopefully a goal will open the floodgates for him.

Got to be honest, that is a decent return with the assists, as has been mentioned somewhere above has he really scored twice? I can only recall 1 goal.

I like a bit of humour, but in all honesty, I can't stand to see ex gas players in the red shirt. When we signed Beadle, I was on the verge of disowning the club altogether. I can respect the fact he left the gas to come here, but this also shows up his lack of loyalty and respect to their club and their sad group of fans. As for Taylor the player, I doubt he'll ever make it as a decent Championship player, and I doubt I'd be able to celebrate him scoring with the same affection I would have had for Tammy, for example.
