He's been out injured for months and was certainly feeling the discomfort prior to going under the knife. How anyone can slate a player they've hardly seen is beyond me.... 30 League games? No league goal in over a year? ”Hardly seen” are you sure you aren’t confusing him with Engvall? It’s been known for you to get players muddled up.. As for the 5 who have (so far) rubbished my earlier post, feel free to come back to me next season if he’s still here... Here’s a prediction- I doubt he will score 6 in a full season at this level and he won’t play at this standard for anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freezer Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 If Bobby does hopefully stay with us next season, I would like to see him and Matty Taylor get a run of games up top together. Matty has a very good footballing brain on him and can play and control a ball, drag defenders around, close them down and finish as well.......that's what a striker does. Some of City's best times were when we had Neville and Riley up front for us. Two little guys but it worked a treat. But for that to work they need a supply of decent - below 8ft - balls into them.

Whilst I agree with the principle, and not suggesting Taylor offers only this, I think that is what we are crying out for. An injection of unpredictability.

Davefevs Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 I’m with @GrahamC on his ability at this level, but I actually think we’ve missed him....especially with the reluctance to play Woodrow during his loan spell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he could be a very good Championship player at any other club. Not sure of his stats but I’m pretty sure he started most games the back end of last season. This season he’s mainly been on the bench. He’s an honest trier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think we’ve seen much evidence of that at this level. He does work hard, he’s a bit of a pest (in a good way), but he needs more than that to be a success.

EstoniaTallinnRed Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 1 hour ago, Major Isewater said: Interestingly , I know several people who had the flue virus this winter and despite everything are still not functioning at hundred per cent. Talking of tiredness and lethargy. If that's the problem for Pato that could explain a lot and evoke our sympathies as he is forced to play at a much reduced capacity and criticized for it . I agree, I had a virus a few months ago , it wasn't like flu, but it certainly made me weak with a terrible cough, I even had an X ray. Although I have recovered some weeks ago, I still don't feel right, tired a lot of the time and certainly not as strong as I was. I'm 72, so perhaps it would have hit me harder, but in the case of Pato, I think that has taken a lot out of him and it probably won't be until next season that we will see him back to form.

While I agree with your main point, I recall he did miss an absolute sitter vs Derby away last year (when he had had a good run in the team) and struggled at home so I definitely think he needs to prove his cup performance vs Stoke can be sustained Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Septic Peg Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 Said it before. I think he's more a no.10 than a goal machine because he causes no end of issues for defenders. 2 CBs marking him makes space for Bobby or Djuric. 2 CBs ignoring him allows him to work the space and be tricky. Still on a learning curve and probably half of his 30 apps are cup games so still needs to adjust to Champ. I certainly think he has the pace. When he is injury free, I can see him playing in behind Bobby for defo. Or we may flog him. Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For ****’s sake, he joined us in January 2017, it is now April 2018. In that time has had made 30 LEAGUE appearances for us, scoring 2 goals. What part of that is difficult to understand? This is his second season with us, his appearances span all of that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea when he will be back playing? Despite some comments by our fans I think we have missed him. Particularly the fact that he actually gets in the box and gets in the opposition's faces.

Garland-sweden Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 Like Taylor, runs and make worries for the defenders. What a night for him, first game since injurie and then scores, well done. Great pass from Reid and Taylor was clinical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacki Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 I like Taylor, he’s a pest to play against and gets in the opposition’s faces. As soon as he came on tonight he barged into one of the Brum centre backs and got right up his nose. He then closed them down, harried, looked sharp throughout and took his goal really well. If we can get him fit for a long period I reckon he can do a great job as an impact sub at this level at the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see Taylor back. Never mind the goal (pleased for him), that 14 minute cameo, is the intensity we’ve missed. If he’s willing to not be one of the two main strikers I’d be tempted to keep him around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donkeeebles Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 Really pleased for Matty tonight, been a tough season for him what with injuries but he looked like he'd never been away tonight. I've said before I really like him and if he can stay fit will be an important player for us next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
