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. Does a dog's breakfast include eggs ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citywest30 Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 I have to say I was impressed with his performance. His work rate was excellent - he hustled and harried the whole time he was on. His touch was poor on a few occasions and him and Tammy needed to be closer; he looked like someone who had only played bits and pieces over the last month. However, he did well enough for me to earn a little run in the team. If anything he tried too hard and it affected his natural game as he seemed to spend a lot of the time out wide or coming short instead of getting in the channels and being in and around the box but again think that would improve with a run of games.

CyderInACan Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 It sounds to me that all this making runs, putting in a shift, dragging defenders away etc you could be describing Kieron Agard who I thought was poor and was glad when we shifted him off to MK. However our squad gets re-shaped in the summer (the fabled 3rd window) will be interesting, whatever division we're in, and what sort of place in the squad he gets. If he could become a 10 goal championship striker alongside and creating room for a 25 goal striker (á la Tammy) that's great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citywest30 Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 That's what I meant CyderInACan when I said trying too hard. Almost too much running. He's a natural goalscorers going on his previous record so needs to get the balance between working hard and chasing down with being in the box to be in the right place at the right time. Too often on Saturday he wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric04 Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 I'm confident he will come good and prove his worth IF he ever gets a run of games. Look at his previous seasons and you'll see it's taken him a while to adjust to a new club or new division, but once he does and most importantly gets his confidence, there's no stopping him. He's not just a poacher, that's a complete misconception. He has good technique and will create and score goals for himself. I think he's trying hard, but he needs to believe in himself that he belongs at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too bad for an afternoon´s work but I agree his lack of pace will harm his long term Championship career. Starting more games might help as well!

I would now happily go along with this, from tinman. "I think he did ok." Which is probably what you would expect, for 300k. Our £3m maestro/waster sat on the bench wants to be doing something about being behind an "ok" £300k forward in the pecking order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkz 76 Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Not all players can come up from league 1 and be prolific in fact have we ever had a forward that's come up from a lower league and scored hatfulls of goals.

stogursey red Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 He has done well so far for us, on Saturday he did all the hard work up front which made the space for Tammy to have a good game, he may not have much pace put he seamed smart in his position play and he made the defence work really hard, I see him as a second striker the guy who will help the number 1 striker shine, I think he will he a 8-10 goal a season player at this level which is very good for the money payed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickle Rick Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 To be fair Taylor got a standing ovation from most. Supersedes the doubting few. The guy ran himself into the ground and made a positive difference. If he does that over and over and can add goals, then mission accomplished on his part.

RedM Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 I think he's still adjusting and settling in. It must be quite strange moving clubs in the January window, you are moving to a club that probably needs a bit of strengthening, for some reason, and expected to just slot in and have everything click with players who gave been playing together for months. Taylor hasn't has to move cities but has moved house. He's also take a step up in quality and speed and gone from fierce rivals and hat to deal with all that involves. He played regularly for the Gas I believe and universally loved ( until the move!), now he's playing less and probably doesn't feel the love from us yet. He had a great ovation on Saturday, I'm sure that will have given him a confidence boost. He knows he's been accepted and can now get on with his job.
