Ryan Taylor

Just been watching out highlights on the football league show and noticed he was involved in every single attack by holding up the ball an making some lovely passes.

Although you may argue we did not have many attacks he showed Target Man play as it was meant to be, and really showed Stead up on the way he does it! His awareness and vision was incredible for the chances we created, and although he hasn't been scoring many he really knows where people are and where the danger zones are and will create a lot of goals for our others!

The chances were as followed:

1) Stead fired a long ball too him, he takes it perfectly under control and weights a lovely ball through to Stephen Pearson who dragged it back for Stephen Davies for our first goal!

2) Takes the ball out on the right hand side, pushes the ball out left to get away from the defender and hits a beautiful cross across the face of goal that if Davies got any touch on would have been our second.

3) This one isn't as clear in my mind but I know he was definitely involved! Far as I remember, he slid a lovely ball through the defence, for Stead who then struck the ball against the post!

I certainly feel now that we have three very strong strikers in Taylor, Baldock & Davies each with their own specialist qualities!

I feel Taylor should be starting every game though as I feel Davies can play alongside anyone, but I don't think Baldock can play as well off Davies as Davies is more of a centre forward and pushes Baldock out of his comfort slightly(Sort of how Maynard and Pitman never worked that well).

I feel Taylor and Baldock and Taylor and Davies are much better up front, for the sole reason both Davies and Baldock can get into such good positions to play off Taylor!

Taylor MUST start in my opinion!

Your opinions?

Taylor was one of the few plusses I took from that match. (Along with Briggs's promnise and Davies' pouncing on whatever meagre scraps came his way)

His first touch is great and he can physically hold off an opponent. Something in very short supply at AG currently.

People go on about Stead and Pearson's workrate, but Taylor kept battling away and because he's a young man, he still had some legs in him at the end.

i thought he was a shit and un-needed signing when millen brought him in, oh do i look like quite the fool now, just the fact that he has got so much game time this season is a surprise plus his hold up play has been very impressive, still only my 3rd choice striker because baldock and davies have scored a lot more but i'm still very pleased with his progress.

Class act. He will only improve as well.

What I like about him is how good he is with his feet. Most target men don't have it in them to link up play and be effective with their feet the way in which he does.

Once he has established himself and we find a regular system and style of playing I believe he will score more and be more of a threat infront of goal.

Are you seriously suggesting playing a player horribly out of position?

It would seem Derek McInnes has a forum account.

Taylor played in CM when Millen was in charge last season, that's hardly an argument for him to play there mind. I thought Taylor looked quite good there, and I'd rather see Taylor in midfield than Morris!

One problem. Doesnt look like a threat infront of goal.

No point having strikers if on the pitch if no ones providing the oppurtunties. Taylor was unlucky to get dropped he was one of the main reasons we started this season so well.

Taylor and Davies to start for me, just a shame the midfield is such a shambles.

When was this? I don't recall him ever playing Ryan Taylor in centre mid!? I remember him bringing him on wide left a few times though.

Did he?

The only time I remember him featuring under Millen was coming off the bench against Hull and Blackpool and he was certainly upfront on both of those occasions.

Yes Ryan feeding the ball into baldock with is holding skills and vision could really pay dividends. But with Davis playing so well at the mo. We may have to wait a while for that partnership to materialise.

Get a feeling baldock will go the way of Pitman

Baldock seem s to impress more when he comes on from the bench, Where as Davies seems to impress more starting.

Dint say nout about Taylor in midfield, but in respect to davies why would it be a disaster, the guys got a desire, he puts in the tackles, tracks back and can pass the ball about something that is lacking in our current midfield. And yes in an ideal world bringing someone would be great but we failed to do it in the summer so who's going to be available on a loan now?
