barneyrubble Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Thought he caused more trouble on Wednesday when he came on than we did the whole game. Would love to see him given a free role in front of the midfield. He is intelligent finds space and causes problems, he is also different which is something we don't have. Think we will see changes today. Da silva in for Kelly. Eliasson will start not sure who for as owdowda looked knackered the other day. Please lj give matty a run of games in this position he can always come off if he fades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBobSuperBob Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 He hadn’t trained at all before Brentford so I would say the chance of him starting is very unlikely to say the least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many otib posters don’t consider the ingredients any players requires to start a first team match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottishRed Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 It highlights our utter lack of striking options when people are calling for a player to start who is nowhere near the required level. Yes, he runs around a lot and must be annoying to play against, but the quality is utterly lacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 We only play 1 striker as a striker in our current “identity”, and there is a huge focus on making our record signing (£5.3m Diedhiou) look like a record signing. You could of course play Taylor wide right instead of Weimann or as a midfield-Cum-no10 and leave Paterson out, who has been playing better. But I doubt there is “room at the inn” to play Taylor as our one striker, unless Diedhiou is injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, wanting to start a 5 goals in 50 appearance striker means we really are scraping the barrel. Doesn't matter how anyone puts it, that's a pretty tire goal ratio for a striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've felt this season that the Diedhiou Weimann combination (when we've played it) hasn't worked because AW drifts too far away from FD. Taylor is the perfect foil for him IMO.

You might be right, but then we have two exposed in midfield, because our wide-midfielders play so wide. It’s a tough balance, a balance LJ hasn’t found. In the small amount of time they played together last season in the cup I too thought they had a bit of a connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor does not score, in fact when was the last time he drew a save from an opposing keeper? Taylor is in the same sort of mold as Wells of QPR. Wells wins you games, Taylor so say causes problems for opposing teams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fpcity Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 I'd like to see him play but he won't replace Fammy or Paterson which would be his best positions. Out in the right would be the only place but probably wouldn't play well and that would be enough ammo for people to say I told you so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
