WHY DO WE ONLY GET ON TH E BACKS OF CERTAIN PLAYERS. I think he gives his best for the shirt and doesn't often take a step back, he's young and will come good . I think there is potential there. I didn't rate the younger Louis Carey all that much but he certainly came good in the end. Given that we've already tried to offload him, I'm not sure he'll be given the time here.

Had a good game today and in terms of getting on the ball, I felt he was our best defender. Well played Taylor Moore, keep it up. At least he wants the ball.

j1974 Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 To many people crucifying someone who is still a young centre half. There are very experienced players at this club making mistakes week in week out yet rarely get a mention, Jack Hunt, Mawson, Patterson and Kalas, all of whom have made costly mistakes this season or who don't play with half the heart Moore does. Like a good few on here I have a strong feeling that he will become a very good central defender for us or if we continue to bash a young player for another club.

As you can see i have a lot of faith and hope in TM. i agree with you i think there is a top player in there given the chance,when you have a bad spell you can cry about it or roll your sleeves up and learn from it which he will do given time.the lad has the right attitude and who knows could be are next shaun taylor.i say that with me tin hat on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megansdad Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 TM has a good game - distributed the ball well generally and was prepared to bring the ball out at pace - he has no doubt made mistakes but certainly has the attitude to succeed.

Yes has made mistakes, but so has Kallas in the last couple of games before today, but that does not get mentioned. But a few on here have a downer on him and will never accept he might be OK I like it that he will bring the ball out at his feet rather than just hoofing if forward.

Major Isewater Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 We have an immense pool of talent at this club but I fear that the coaches are not good enough to get the best out of them.

1960maaan Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 I thought he was doing pretty well earlier in the season, but circumstances meant he had to fill in at LCB and he struggled. Decent player and will get better if given the chance to play in his favoured spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossi the Robin Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 No one has played particularly well consistently for a while - he’s a young lad so playing in a poor side won’t help his confidence and development I think he will be a great player for us when the team starts to gel but who knows when that will be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampshire Red Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 Had a good game tonight, we all saw that. Good season so far, most of us can see that. One misguided poster (2015) made some laughable comment about league 1 at best for TM. Do you know anything about league 1 and how inferior it is in defensive standard to the Championship where TM is already playing? If not, I suggest you watch the gas, if you don't already(!!) and start to appreciate he played against Prem players last night. Really! some people just can't credit anything about BRISTOL CITY or our players when they bash the keyboards on this forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prinny Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 If it's Moore vs Towler for a left centre back spot who would you pick? If it's not Taylor Moore, if you even had to think about it, think about why. One's a local lad, 18, one's a signing who's 23. A 23 year old who's not getting better, who's currently a back up level player... that's a progress blocker. People on here who like young players over signings are going to have to start weighing the development of Moore vs the development of Towler. Who gets the minutes, who is worth investing in? If we paid for a 23 year old CB with 100+ lower league appearances, who played like Taylor Moore does, we'd be close to putting him in the same category as Eisa, Adelakun, Szmodics, as a failed cheap punt, except Taylor... wouldn't make the money back roughly like Szmodics and Eisa did. We'd complain about signing average players instead of giving youth a chance. I think he gets judged very differently by some on here as he's been here a while. He cost a fee, he's not an academy player, he's not that young anymore. Adam Webster joined us at 23 and had less career appearances than Taylor does now when he joined. If Holden was right in his assessment that Taylor was a starting championship level centre half who could play across the back three (evidence is he started him, and played him at LCB) then it was a great move to get his new contract alongside with Vyner's done at the time we did. He wasn't so far. We saw the same error type he can't stop making against Sheff U, that processing error, that lack of concentration, that half second delay where someone takes it off his feet in the box because he's not aware, he's on his heels, and it should be a goal. His general play was fine, it usually is... but there's no sign he's fixed his biggest problem IMO. He has all the tools, at some point he needs to perform. Give him a chance! give him a chance! Well he's got another one thanks to injury, how about go a single game without a massive processing/concentration error? He has to put together full games. Other CBs make mistakes, but not every game, and not the same one. I'm not expecting any player to be perfect, but Vyner progressed, Moore hasn't. Yet. Hope he does. It only benefits City if he does.

Davefevs Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 @Prinnynot an easy one to answer. I haven’t seen enough of Towler, let alone in the first team, let alone at LCB in any team to be able to really give a confident answer. Would everyone be raving about Towler had Bogle headed home 1st half, or had Brewster side-footed home (rather than gone too early) in the second? Don’t get me wrong, for a debut it was encouraging and he got better as he adjusted to the game.. We don’t know how his body has reacted to 90 minutes against a PL team either. Could be stiff as a board! Playing LWB is far less risky a position than LCB also. Personally, I don’t think Towler will be in the reckoning for LCB tomorrow, because we actually need a LWB too. Ideally I’d play Kalas as LCB, Moore CCB and Vyner RCB and tell them to “sort their shit out” and play like their lives depended on it and see no repeat of Norwich City (h).

Absolutely right to bring up the Towler incidents. I have to use the same logic for him as Moore. If you make an error and it's not a goal, it's still the same weight of error. We don't have to answer the Towler vs Moore question juuust yet, but once we get one of the 15 injured left backs available, then the chatter is going to start if Moore doesn't improve. The fact Kalas has played LCB in a two, but has never been put there in a three, even to try it, is really interesting. I REALLY wonder why that is.

I think there is a view that as captain / senior he plays central, but I’d like to see him LCB once just to check him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampshire Red Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 Great debate abkutytwo City youngsters and much better read than the nonsense on this forum about how well MA does with transfers. We must be top of the league (Championship) for developing our own players which wilm probably be more important than league points when the real impact of Covid is appreciated later this year.

Harsh again I think on taylor Moore. I agree still got a lot to learn but watch kalas and mawson and see how many mistakes they make especially over last few weeks.
