Snufflelufagus Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Like most players and especially someone new to this league needs a run of games. In then out , then on as sub for 20mins does no one any favours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwicolin Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 He played excellent on Saturday. Well done Matty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Hankey Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Him and Tammy started together against Derby and we scored 3 goals including Tammy and Taylor scoring one and Taylor setting one up. Him and Tammy started together against Wolves and we scored 3 goals including Taylor setting one up, having a hand in the 3rd goal and Tammy scoring twice. Think they compliment each other very well and think Matty had a reasonable game yesterday, but i guess unless hes scoring every game someone will have a bone to pick with him due to his previous employers.

Robbored Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 He's not adapted to playing in the SBC yet He's come from League 1, used to playing against teams with very average defenders and now he's up against far better players. It's a big step up for him but he will adapt and be a real goal threat next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerly known as ivan Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Think the crowds reaction when he went off said a lot for his work rate yesterday. Decent applause for a decent shift, if not much else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 75 Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Needs a run of games. He needs a goal at Ashton gate. Probably trying a bit to hard. As for Saturday thought he played quite well . Seeing how much pressure there was on the result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS4 on Tour... Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Lots of differing opinions - but for me, spending £300k on him was worth it for three reasons: 1. It represented a miniscule tiny, irrelevant dent in SL's fortune 2. It caused absolute uproar, disbelief, rage and frustration amongst those north of the river 3. In the midst of absolute misery for City fans, we all laughed for just one day... So, whatever he does for us from here on in is a bonus for me!

Seeing how much pressure there was on the result Not only has he not played that many minutes he has to keep adapting to playing with different players everytime he plays. To be honest 300k is an absolute bargain. For that type of striker in this league it would cost you much more than that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redapple Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 I thought he had a decent game. Without starts though he's not going to be as sharp as he'd like. Given a few more chances from the start and he'll do alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Horsman Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Echo others about his apparent lack of pace. No complaints about his endeavour though, he's definitely not short of a work ethic or effort whatever may have been bleated by the other lot. Seems to play with honest passion and grafts hard. A good start overall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZiderEyed Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Has no pace whatsoever. But for 300k you can't really complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a goal poacher and whilst pace helps it's not as crucial as movement and being in the right place at the right time. Compare Taylor to Ricky Lambert. No pace but a top goalscorer who earned England caps..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fat Controller Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 1 hour ago, hertsexile said: Thought he had a good game and was involved in patersons goal. Chased every lost course. Wolves defenders were rushed when he was on the park.when he went off wolves had more time on the ball. So felt he put in a good shift 1 hour ago, B block said: He won the ball back for our third whilst everyone else had accepted wolves had it back. When he went off we withdrew 30 feet back and invited the pressure, although that might be our head coaches tactical genius at work These two posts sum it up for me. I thought he worked hard and kept the pressure on Wolves' back line. No coincidence that we looked under much more pressure ourselves when Taylor went off and we weren't putting pressure on Wolves from the front.

Sad to say it but, Lambert had power, strength, was good in the air, had a strong accurate shot and took good free kicks and penalties, given a bit of pace and he'd have been brilliant. Unfortunately, we have yet to see anything other than movement off the ball from Taylor. For a poacher, he's missed a lot of chances to poach a goal or two.

Swede Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 I thought he had a good game Saturday. Its a big step up from the third tier but he's learning. He did a lot runs and work without the ball and the ovation he got when substituted was telling. I still think he's carrying an injury and will definately benefit from a good preseason & working with better players and coaches. He needs to improve his first touch, you can get away with it in the lower leagues but will quickly get found out at this level. I am expecting a big improvement next season. Its funny how £10M in reality is only £300k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 No time to read the whole thread, but Taylor needs crosses to thrive. To have crosses, you need wingers. To play a centre forward like this without a winger or two is nullifying his abilities. If yoy dont play wingers, then dont play Taylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpexile Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 2 hours ago, Bristol Rob said: He certainly hasn't shown championship quality. I'm thinking that Matty, like a few others need a lot more playing time to truly settle into a game plan (if LJ has one) because selection has been such a dogs breakfast. I think he definately gives us something, like others have said by creating space for Tammy, the jury is still out for me but am quietly confident he will prove effective.

BCFC Rich Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Only really seen him in new the derby game. I thought his know movement then was I need another level, he had their defense all out of shape and all over the place. I would imagine if that's how he always plays most of the time he'd be great to play up top with even if he never touched the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floatn Over Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 No problem with Matty whatsoever yesterday, thought he did fine, quite like him. Good applause going off. He's still adjusting mind but some intelligent runs and only a crazy defender would leave him too much room. Give him time and a BC pre-season.
