Saw the 'WHO?' ones, not the 'Goal Scorer' one. But, to be fair to Taylor, he has a decent record for a targetman in League Two, so might be back to his level.

Yes I'd like to see him at least playing regularly after his injuries, maybe he will link up with another Le Fondre. I just don't really want him to do it for Portsmouth, don't like them.

BCFC Jordan Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 He was good at keeping possession from a long ball, but lacked any finishing skills sadly. I wouldn't say it was his finishing ability, more to do with the fact he rarely considered shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He scored 23 goals in 135 games for Rotherham which is, IMO, nothing special. However he formed a great partnership with ALF and was credited with setting up a lot of his goals. Personally I think any forward should get at least 10 - 12 goals per season if they play regularly. That said, I'd make an exception if you could pair Taylor with a prolific striker such as ALF.

Taylor and these two rotated around alot while alf helped himsrlf to bucket loads. You can add paul Warne into the mix as well. Taylor was never really rated that highly up there.

southvillekiddy Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Good luck Ryan. Spoke to him on the train once coming back to Paddington. Top bloke. Unfortunately on the pitch he looked like he had been ordered not to shoot which was a great pity because he showed he could create a goal when he came on as sub at Barnsley (?) a few seasons back. Beautiful curving left foot shot from distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 His lack of willingness to get into goalscoring positions was mind boggling considering his billing as a "striker". I think he has a genuine fear of penalty areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoonbed Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Is this part of a deal to bring Jed Wallace in from Pompey to the gate? I'd certainly hope so- a very exciting and young right midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor10 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Good luck to him. Hopefully it works out for him but the harsh reality of it is that he's just not good enough. I think it says a lot that he's gone to a league 2 club. I think that's his level. Same for Wilson. No excuses, not good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carey 6 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Got a lot of respect for any player that will mutually terminate their contract and wave their right to a pay off to go and play football elsewhere. Was it James Wilson last season I believe who refused to go out on loan because he was happy at city despite never playing? Could have been the season before! Or just a rumour...

Very good point if this is the case fair play to Taylor, and despite their obvious off the field problems they are still a big draw and get large gates.

sglosbcfc Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Great move for Taylor, there are not many players of his limited ability that would get a move to a big club like Pompey. I think at League Two level with a bit of luck with injuries he could do well for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Honestly believe that Barnett is a replacement for Taylor anyway. Maybe Taylor never settled in the South and wants to go back oop North? er he's going to pompey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
