Lack of Action Man Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Genuine question, the guy scored two goals in his opening exchanges with this league and suddenly has entered the Engvall zone! Had a quick read of the Villa forum and texted a villa supported mate before the game. They said that if we started a big man up top, it would play nicely into their hands as their CB's lack mobility but will deal with a physical front man any day of the week. Matty Taylor should be starting as long as Tammy is injured imo. The fact he isn't baffles me in all honesty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusX Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Apparently Wilbraham was the messiah Saturday, so if LJ changed it that would be wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Matt Taylor is clearly not quite up to this level yet. Ok for cameos (yes, I know he had a good game vs Derby) he's a squad player, not a first team player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's looked the part when I've seen him play so far Surely he wasn't bought as another one for the future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_BCFC Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 He was bought in preparation for league one next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 He's only been here a month and Wilbraham was selected because he did well vs Newcastle. I expect Taylor will start Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Thompson Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 And the back four who have let in the goals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHAGa Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 He was signed to stop Rovers overtaking us and it's worked to be fair. Six draws in a row since he left, usually they'd win those games by the odd goal due to Matty's goals. They'd have had a good chance of being in a play-off spot right now if we hadn't bought him. Hoping for him to score the winner at the Mem next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Bodin doesn't score we don't seem to now, not many of the others available have got goals in them. I blame those ****ing ted wan***s, their only purpose in signing the snake was to stop the very real possibility of us overtaking them and take attention off their car-crash of a manager. Fair play it was an inspired move but hardly fitting of a club who spent 15 million in the summer. I hope Matty is enjoying playing second fiddle to a 37 year old even when their top goalscorer is injured... ---- Small victories and all that...

frenchred Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 In reply to the OP's question, he's not good enough. He was a distraction buy from our owner to distract all the attention away from our "coach". It worked in the short term and in the long term he will get a few goals in League one on more money than he was on up the road. So a win/win/win/lose scenario. Win for Owner, win for Coach, win for taylor, lose for the club (us) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sat on the bench. I always like to give a player 10 to 12 games before I pass judgement. I hope he plays Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 There was some talk of hamstring problems , whether true or not , I couldn't say . I suspect that LJ sees him in a front two and that we've had little opportunity to impose that tactic since MT was signed . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah who wants a hungry striker known for scoring goals when you can have a 37 year old man playing on his own up front instead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
