Dullmoan Tone Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 When he first came on turned the defender and then stumbled instead of breaking we all thought here we go again, but considering that's his first game since injury, I thought he was especially impressive.

BobBobSuperBob Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 Thought his pass out to Bobby and the sprint / attack into the six yard box for his goal was ‘simple’ but top top play Fair play Matty Interesting that LJ explained that he’s not really been right fitness wise since he’s been here (One hernia then the other) Now he’s fit ( and looked sharp for someone who hasn’t even played any U23 mins yet ) might yet be interesting to see what he’s capable of fully fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only near full games he's played were Stoke & Palace in the EFL Cup. We won both games. I'd take his energy over most of our squad at present. Soon as saw him warming up my hopes lifted. He could just be that secret ingredient, front four of Bobby, Matty, Call u and Josh with over laps from wing backs will scare Borough shiteless. Beat Borough Saturday and we are in it.

DT The Optimist Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 1 hour ago, Slack Bladder said: Good to see him back, as LJ says he's a pest yes indeed, and he had a terrible luck this season with injuries. Now he cost us £500K (ish) and our mega Jan window striker Diony, if signed ,would blow the £5.00M fee for FD out the window ! ( and not even near the bench) can someone help me with the logic here ? Would you rather have a £500K Taylor or £5.00M PLUS Diony on the bench or in the team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll go into detail in another thread. 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. I'd sooner have Taylor over Djuric. I just don't see any quality with Djuric. He is slow, gives away free kicks, rarely looks a threat. Taylor has excellent movement and work rate. Plus he is a goalscorer. We just don't know how to use him.

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. I can't beleive 30apps is correct but will take your word for it. It's a pointless comment though isn't it? Is it 30 x 90mins? 30 x 10mins?. Kind of effects your arguement don't you think? Plus he's not been fully fit even when playing. Plus 2 goals isn't the sum total of the positive contribution he's given the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original OTIB Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 He will be here next year and he will score 15 + goals. We need his kind of energy. It makes a huge difference + by the look of the Head Coach and his look to camera, Bobby will be hard to keep. Who else are we going to get for buttons?

Red-Robbo Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Although Matt will not be a first-choice striker for us, I think Johnson brought him on just at the right time and it took pressure of us - as well as getting our third of course.

If he’s willing to not be one of the two main strikers I’d be tempted to keep him around. Totally agree about Djuric, I was calling for Taylor to come on at HT or latest 10 mins into 2nd half. As for Taylor, I'm not a fan. That's not to say we didn't need him last night and we do need that sort of player, but he is very similar to Agard who got slated on here , I think it is because he came from 'them' he gets a bit more leeway. I'm not sure Engval would have been worse, but w'll never know. I like his effort , he has decent vision and he is busy around defenders but he lacks pace, for someone who trys to play on the shoulder that's not great. I am pleased he scored, no one likes players to be injured, I'd keep him for next year but look for an upgrade. That said I think there will be more important positions to replace/upgrade for the start of next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Reckon he is a good option off the bench, doubt he will ever be a regular starter here so will just depend whether he is happy coming off the bench as to whether he stays here.

He is slow, gives away free kicks, rarely looks a threat. Taylor has excellent movement and work rate. Plus he is a goalscorer. We just don't know how to use him. Different players who provide different solutions. Have no problem with your evaluation. Djuric - on the couple of occasions where he’s looked fit, he’s looked to offer more than the "lump up front" he was last night. He has good touch and awareness....and when mobile (not last night!) he looks a different player. He may be like JET in that it’s difficult to carry that frame around for 90 minutes of Championship football week in week out. Taylor - if he could attain levels of performance like he did against Stoke and Palace there’d be no arguments on here. But those imho were him playing the best he can. There have been too many ordinary games where he doesn’t quite look good enough, which suggests that’s his norm, not the Stoke type games. He has grown on me though, and whereas earlier this season I would probably have got shot this summer, I would keep now him. A front four of Reid (if we can keep hold of him), Diedhiou, Djuric and Taylor, backed up by Hinds, McCoulsky is a good starting position for next season. Of course if the right player is identified and available then great. One final point, despite Milan’s performance last night, I thought it brought out the best in Diedhiou, who would’ve been my motm if Pack hadn’t got it. LJ said Diedhiou can play with any of our strikers, big or small. Typically, had we played our usual Diedhiou / Reid combo, then Morrison (their dominant centre half / ball winner) would’ve picked up Diedhiou and Dean (their smaller, quicker, better footballing centre back) would’ve picked up Reid. As it was Djúric was picked by Morrison, and nullifies the Bosnian. Whereas Diedhiou bullied Dean most of the night, for once getting the freedom of playing up against the less physical man. The ball stuck to Diedhiou last night, mainly because he want being muscled every time he tried to control the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eardun Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Taylor is a great option to have. He’s always on the move and is aggressive. He gives defenders something different to think about. He played a big part in our good run at the end of last season which took us to safety. If we make the playoffs, it wouldn’t surprise me if he makes an important contribution - winning goal v Cardiff would be nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redandwhitescarf Posted April 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Always think Taylor carried the baggage of where he came from. Weighed heavily with him and with some of our fans who thought our purchase of Taylor was merely the club getting one over on the Gas . Think he has had a torrid season on and off the pitch but hopefully he will get a few playing hours for the remainder of the season and then onwards and upwards next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 I think Matty Taylor would have been in our radar regardless of who he played for . As a top marksman in the lower leagues he would have caught the club's attention. It was just a bonus that it screwed the Gas over . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
