tinman85 Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Clearly a political move. Has taken the attention right off LJ and our 0 league wins since 5th Dec. If we lose tomorrow signings or no signings no manager deserves to remain. Hope we win 4.0 with a Taylor hat trick and Cotterill screamer but just saying!

Clearly a consequence of signing MT is that it has created a lot of media interest and to an extent diverted attention from results on the pitch. But there are also other good reasons for signing him (not least the low fee and screwing over the gassholes!) so I'm sure it wasn't solely about taking the heat off LJ. Ultimately, it was done for the good of the football club. We will beat Rotherham tomorrow, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted February 3, 2017 Admin Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Looking back it's interesting how the mind set first started to change after Steve Lansdown's statements, then with the mayhem around Taylor signing it's like the shocking run of form and the pressure on Lee Johnson has all been forgotten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoxton casual Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 great to relieve the pressure and lets hope we get a win in any way possible. It is a scrap from here on it and we will have to do it with what we have got in the squad - no emergencies anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hello Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Does it relieve the pressure though, or actually increase it? Afrer this week a lot of eyes will be on Taylor. Imagine he misses a sitter or two and you lose? What about the pressure then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but the run is still shocking and if we even draw with Rotherham he should be sacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 So we pay 300k for a player and pay him for 2 and a half years as a political move to divert attention from the manager? No wonder were in the relegation zone if thats true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players move up and down the leagues all the time and loads of them adapt to it. I'm more interested in the fact that he's already banged in x number of goals.. £300.000 these days is nothing.

Buster Footman's T shirt Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 It definately temporarily lifted the gloom around the club. Feels like SL has played the fans perfectly. Nobody can argue with stitching F*** the Gas after all. I think in the end that Matt Taylor's playing ability is only part of the equation here. Low risk (in terms of fee) maximum publicity. FWIW I think he may do alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if i was one of you its a valid point in the context of the thread. With all the fuss, does it not put more eyes on you and thus increase pressure one way or the other, even of it isnt on LJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
