Kid in the Riot Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 Sounds like Eisa is off to a Championship club for £1.5m. Hopefully it's us, if not then given our obvious links with Cheltenham then I'd hope we have very good reasons as to why it isn't us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDOXO Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 Matt Taylor is best behind a striker. He has pretty good vision and I always think he makes decent time on the ball. The guy can play it’s a matter if we can fit him into the right spot or if we even want to bother. Big season for this bloke! As I said in another thread I’m a fan!

At even £2m I would think that even if he couldn't cut it at this level, we would still be able to sell him on for what we paid for him to a League 1 club. Could be the next big thing...

I’m still giggling about that - Dopey said Matty is worth £10m then we sign him for £300k and rub huge amounts of salt into their wounds by selling one of our players for £10m.......and because of Dopey’s pathetic attempt to get/keep the disenchanted few from north of the river on his side by quoting this tune....I’d like to once again post it....with no apologies....

Hampshire reds Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 he has to be worth a chance at championship level make a bid and offer a couple of our young lads on loan for the season. I see he scored another 3 last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin_unreliant Posted July 14, 2018 Report Share Posted July 14, 2018 On 11/07/2018 at 16:22, The Journalist said: Just a point on Matty Taylor that people hugely overlook - our upturn in form at the very end of 2016-17 (including winning at Brighton, a game in which he set up our goal) coincided with him playing up top in a 4-4-2. Having previously chopped and changed time and again, this was the template we adopted for the following season. The key question mark over Taylor is not his overall play or even his finishing, but whether he can actually get into goalscoring positions having been involved in the build-up play. If the answer is yes - and he'll need a full pre-season behind him and a run at the start of 2018-19 - he's a keeper. I was at Brighton so funny how we all see things differently. He got into a great position, about 8 yards out, the ball came to him and he took a swing and missed the ball completely. It stuck in my mind because that was the moment I decided he would never make it as a goal scorer at this level. He works hard and does get in some good positions. However his finishing is not good enough. Move him on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move him on. When we signed him a couple of gasheads both told me independently that Taylor would miss more than he scored but that the gas would definitely miss the goals he did score. Its true he's missed a couple of sitters but I don't think we've seen enough of him to make an assessment just yet. He was out injured for much of last season so hopefully he'll be fully fit come August 4th and in the frame for a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far from an isolated example, I'm afraid. Plenty of others available - how about missing a tap in from about 2 yards away at Derby just after half time that would finished the game. On all the available evidence, and there's enough of it to take a considered view, he's not good enough as a goal-scorer at this level. Those who would persist with him are doing so on the basis of hope rather than expectation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we`ll just have to wait and see what the future holds. The question for me is do we keep MT and use him as a regular starter and pay £1.5m or so for someone like Eisa or spend £5-6m on Marriott? I think I come down in favour of the former.
