  • Big bust up with Powell following the Notts County debacle. Claimed he was the scapegoat.

    Allegedly.

    There was no bust up - Powell never spoke to Matt to tell him he was dropping him or his reasons.
  • Must've been the manager...
    Don't let Large hear you say that

    nice bloke though !!

  • Taylor is unlucky to be out of the team...but Cort was unlucky to be out of the team for most of the season!
  • If he's going to be on the bench then isn't it even more of a reason to have someone like Hayes replacing Sullivan??
    Think i'm right in saying that Taylor won the FA trophy playing in goal.


  • Much better debate than last seasons version: Dailly/Doherty/Llera.........................
    The Ancient, the Leprechaun and the Deluded. To think we were in the play off semis in our first season with those 3 centre backs to choose from...

    We weren't - Doc came in the summer after, think it was Sodje instead.

    That's right but remember the Doc was picked in the L1 team of the year and had just been part of Norwich's Championship winning side.
  • taylor has worked his way as a fan favorite for me.
    even tho cort has replaced him in the starting 11, he is still a favorite player of mine.

    ohhh matty taylor, matty taylor, beast beast beast!

    He did but that was years ago and I don't think it's wise to not have a keeper on the bench who trains week in, week out...as a keeper. Otherwise, not much point even having a reserve keeper on the books if your centre back can do the job just as well.

    That has a good ring to it!
  • addickinsane... are you his dad/brother /best mate? :-)
  • The original post is spot on .. the entire defence has performed consistently superbly with few bookings, sendings off or injuries.

    He's a mate, but I've been completely unbiased in everything I've posted on CL ;-)
  • Hahah, I could tell as I had a few minutes and went back and looked at your comments.

    Completely unbiased but we all agree with you.
  • I'd have Taylor back in for next season. Cort was a liability for Burnley in The Championship.

    so that automatically is going to make him a liability for us? what an absolute brainless comment

    Do be serious. Let's see what happens with him first. He has been better than both the others since coming in. Morrison looked a liability Monday, almost got caught out.
  • I think Taylor has done really well this season , I think it was catching up with him a bit at the end , but Taylor , Morro and Cort have been tonnes better than previous seasons offerings, if we to swap the old guard for the current guard then I would feel nervous about our end of season finish.
  • Sorry for poor grammar, the edit option has disappeared on me mobiley. :-0
  • We could just play 5 at the back. ; )
  • Would think we'd need a player of better quality than Cort / Taylor to partner Morro next season. Having said that I prefer Taylor over Cort.

    Much like Kermorgant for Leicester..

    At least Taylor has done nothing wrong, hopefully he's not too down about it. One of our centre backs will get suspended/injured at some point and SCP will have no qualms calling upon him to play his part. It's then up to him to make the place his own in the way that Leon Cort marvellously has.

    I think Cort has surprised all of us. Never expected him to sneak into the team and keep a fit Matt Taylor out.

    The only thing that works against Taylor is that he doesn't seem to have a stand out characteristic in his game which gets him noticed. Cort is fantastic in the air, Morrison is decent in the air and probably the best centre back we have with the ball at his feet. Taylor is more of a jack of all trades and 'does a job'.

    DOnt know how anyone can prefer Taylor over Cort, for starters Cort is far more the agile player. Not taking anything away from Taylor because he has been fantastic all season!However when talking about the Championship....Cort all day long for me!
  • The only thing about Cort which sometimes unsettles me is that he doesn't look entirely comfortable when the ball is passed to him along the deck. No major slips ups yet on that front but his first touch does sometimes slip away from him slightly.
  • They're both good players. Cort had to wait a long time for his chance and grabbed it with both hands. Nice to have such options.

    The legend, Rufus, was of that ilk, so Cort is in good company here...

    Looking at his Wiki profile, he's had lots of experience at Championship level and 3 times has been purchased for over £1m, and at 32 is hardly past it. A real bargain as a free transfer. Taylor on the other hand has mainly played non league, barring suspensions and injury he'll find it hard to get back in.
  • Wasn't sure when we signed him but he's turned out to be one of my favourite players. Can count on one hand the number of times he's missed a header this season.

    Have to give it to Cort though, came in and made the spot his own, an incredibly committed defender.

    Think we need one more in the summer to join these three. I'm guessing SCP's got an idea of who he wants that to be already.
