Why is it such a strange thing to say that taylor was better. Yann had a 1 in 3 record, Taylor better than 1 in 2. A striker is a goalscorer. We were half the team without Lyle in 2018 19 and look at the impact it had when he got injured last season.
Strikers do more than score.......If I could pick a prime Yann or a prime Lyle....Id be picking Yann every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
I'm just sat here in utter shock that there is a debate about who is better between Yann and Taylor.
Who next, Gary Doherty and Richard Rufus? Ooo that's a tough one.
It’s clearly not that stark . If Taylor hadn’t done the dirty on us, there’d be a genuine debate, IMO. Yann wins it but LT would be in the top 5 strikers of my time watching Charlton, with Clive, Hunt, D Bent and YK. I am not sure our style of football under SCP saw us use YK to the best of his talent but he even adapted to that and he was amazing at Bournemouth and Reading.

And no doubt Taylor is an absolute prick !
Might seem a bit odd and it’s probably my sentimental 14 yr old self talking to me, but i would add David Whyte at his best to that list - my CAFC supporting life starts late 80s.
Some players suit a club and a team. Taylor should have felt that connection; but I think our idiot ownership issues clouded that. I loved Taylor while he was here, and away games were special with the home team slagging him off - and then he scored. Deep joy 🤩
He made a terrible decision in lockdown. If he admitted that and apologised I think I would accept that. Not because he scores goals, but because we all make mistakes. I think he fits.

It wasn’t painful just unbelievably itchy.
That season he was utterly sensational.
