Meh Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Sorry - not going to join in the doom and gloom implosion. His attitude is spot on and he is such a horrible nause of a person. Could become a cult hero here with his desire to wind up anybody and everybody. We need to find a way to get him on the ball more - great touch and pass but currently isolated too often. Provided he starts cos he makes me laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erithacus Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Seems to me that Taylor is a better thinker than most of his teammates. Frequently today I saw him make a burst into space only whilst the player in possession takes a longer look around for a pass. Often got frustrated when he was left open and the ball didn't come his way. But then, that's been the story most of this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One to keep hold of should we go down, but clearly not a goalscorer at this level. His laudable attitude on the pitch isn't enough to mask his deficiencies at this level.

Far less annoyed with those like him that give what they’ve got but just don’t have the quality required to impact this level rather than those (And we had a few today) who could be much better and much more impactive if they had anywhere near his / the same desire Ultimately neither type will progress us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact he often stands out for it, and is therefore so acclaimed for it, is a worry because it reflects negatively on many others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was still down AG under the floodlights right this very minute and on his own I still don’t think he could score.

In fairness, Fammy did that too, today - a sure sign that the team is not getting things flowing when in possession and getting it forward well. Strikers picking up the ball in the centre circle is a slightly desperate signal. I think Taylor is a good player but needs to be with the right teammates. The partnership with Fammy is not one that often produces results; a big man knocking it down to him would be a decent one, but playing with a teammate that can read the game as well would be far better. A 'pest' works best with another player causing the main headache up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcliffe1990 Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Has a solid work rate, decent touch and movement off the ball. Up to Championship level for sure. Shows fight, that’s what we want right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDOXO Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 I note the comments about ‘striker’ in regards to Taylor. I’m personally not a fan of the term, as it clearly implies frequent goal scorer and I don’t see Taylor as that. He is very definitely a forward player as opposed to a defender or defensive midfielder but I have thought the way we use him has been because of a lack of other options or just plain wrong. I see Taylor as not an out and out striker, but as a player that plays behind a forward or pair of forwards and picks up some stuff in second ball and more importantly finds a pass or a touch. It is clear Pack is off form and we need to find another way and the only guy that seems universally above criticism and playing consistently well is Taylor. 3412 would be how I would see it until further options come along if we actually want to score some goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuffle Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Completely wrote him off after Plymouth as was shocking. Great attitude but Matt Taylor is a striker and will and rightly get judged for goals scored & record isn’t great for us. I hope he can add goals as so want him to succeed but not sure he can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveInSA Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Scored a goal every other game at lower levels. Can’t score for toffee in this team in this league. Either we aren’t playing to his strenghts or he ain’t good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exAtyeoMax Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 I love Matty too, but I do wonder if he is in the wrong team/wrong set-up/team-mates. As others have said he seems to read the game well but the others don't appear to respond (quickly enough). He's a bit like Brett Pitman in that respect. I think he might be better playing behind the strikers, because he is such a pest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bengalcub Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Really grown on me as his attitude and actual ability has improved so much , only fear is lj turned bobby from midfielder into striker ,Taylor is dropping deeper and deeper and looking more like a midfielder , Jan we need a goalscorer but they cost 10mill plus we won't spend that so like today we will lose/draw games we should be winning easily due to poor finishing .

BCFC Grim Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 The fact Matty Taylor is our one of our only positives lately really says it all. I agree with everything that's been said, and he has changed my opinion of him this season however he still isn't going to score you goals. Sadly he isn't a championship striker.

RedRock Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Like him. A lot. Not quite sure why though. This is the conondrum that is Matty Taylor. We clearly aren’t set up to play to his strengths. If, indeed, he has strengths as a Championship striker. Have we enough quality and strength in midfield to play him behind two strikers? Don’t think so. Tricky one as we look a better, more balanced, side with him on. Perhaps that’s more an indictment of the rest of the squad and management though.

Super Scotty Murray Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 Nothing against the guy, I think he has done well this season but he doesn't score enough at this level. Only 1 goal in the league this season. I see that he works hard and has a good attitude but we need more than that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
