Robbored Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 I was surprised at how quick he was. He looked very sharpe I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Got to echo the positives above, the only thing I will add that I thought he wasn't too greedy. It was probably tempting to have a go himself, especially on his debut, but he had the intelligence to pass to a better positioned team mate which I was impressed with. A team player, that's good news. And yes I can see him scoring a few for us he he plays like he has shown today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozo Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Again, thought he was lively and positive and the fans got excited when he got the ball. Also, he has a bit of attitude that we lack. He had swagger. He was also geeing the lads up a lot. Clapping teammates, patting them on the back. Finally, he looked like a cheeky little sod that would be a nightmare to play against.

Red-Robbo Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 The performance of the two new boys (if Cotts qualifies as a "new boy") was one of the reasons to be cheerful about today. As were the points. The football, less so ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 You can see why the g*s got so many penalties - he must have been a nightmare for league 1 defenders running at them. All in all a good thirty minutes debut and can see him and Milan linking up well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redstoke Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Matty Taylor certainly offers us something different to what we currently have, was impressed with his movement and looks like a handful. Could be 30,000,000 pence well spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric04 Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Taylor is much better in the air than you might expect too. I was surprised how many high balls he won. Looks a good all-round player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redstreet Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Lee ! Keep this finishing team to start at Derby . Milan and Taylor may be the start of the renaissance with Tammy to come on as and when to nail opposition always darkest before the dawn !!

Olé Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 I said after the game how much he reminded me of Shane Long - low centre of gravity, quick feet, direct running, drifts off markers easily - and if he can be half the player I will be overjoyed, I'd always wanted City to sign Long, an impact player who goes at people - and god knows the team needs that now.

weeble Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 How effective he will be depends on how you use him. Always deployed as one of two strikers with us, unlikely to have much impact on his own. PROS Works hard (apart from his last few games for us) Technically decent, will link play well. Good in the air for someone who is 5ft 9in. Will not leave defenders for dead with his pace, but certainly not slow. Adept at pulling defenders out of position with his runs. CONS Although his finishing has greatly improved, expect him to miss his share of sitters and always back the opposition keeper in one on ones. Has an irritating tendency to fall over looking for a free kick, when remaining on his feet would be more useful. Unlikely to reach his full potential when he finally realises what a terrible mistake he's made in joining you lot! (Actually for £300k he's a bit of a steal, but I didn't say that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CotswoldRed Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 19 hours ago, BRISTOL86 said: So, half an hour in, what are your initial thoughts? I thought he had a very positive debut. His movement into little pockets was very bright and lively, reminded me of Baldock in that regard. He was direct and very involved in a lot of our attacking play, decent touch and impressed at how well he brought others into play, he can spot a pass which is a great attribute in a striker. He doesn't need to think. He just does, and that buys him time and space. Just the sort of player we've needed for ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marina's Rolls Royce Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Very Baldock and a bit of a poor man's Forestieri. Delighted he's here. He's made a controversial move which has affected him and his family. Any gas fan thinking he'd do this just for a bigger pay cheque is wide of the mark. He's come to prove himself and has walked away from hero status which is why I believe he'll give that extra energy and determination which we will appreciate and benefit from. I hate to mention it but he's already proved what he can do for a team against all the odds. Didn't look remotely out of place. And as for "falling over"- we've been had by that from opposing teams all season. Doesn't make it right but at least may put on an equal footing!

Not quite sure if this makes any sense unless the release contract trigger was £200k not £300k. Once a clause is met- you can't start negotiating downwards. brfc would quite rightly enforce the contractual figure and no amount of faffing about would change this.

That was exactly my reaction to them telling me. Unfortunately they didn't probe more into why we supposedly got him for 100k cheaper. BUT is it beyond the realms of possibility? Its early Tuesday morning and BRFC get an offer of £300k for MT from us. Their first reaction must've been you've got to be joking. They then dilly dally with the offer and tell MT later on in the day and drag their heels with it. MT is keen on the move and is allowed to talk to us about wages etc. For all we know this could be hours later on from our offer in the morning and now with personal terms being agreed and MT pushing for the move we then revise our offer to £200k. Rovers of course can reject it but would risk the deal collapsing and have a very unhappy player to deal with and then are forced to accept the lower offer. I am inclined to believe my friends, they told me their source and in a funny way it kind of makes sense... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aa_bcfc Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 I know it was only a 30 minute cameo but for me the most worrying thing about yesterday was he looked more positive and forward looking than the rest of our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
