That is some Ivor Novello award winning shit right there!
Based on when we have played against him I thought good player but bit nasty, however in his short time with us he has proved me wrong, seems a really down to earth and likeable lad. Well done Lyle.

In his two games for us, you could see the Drogba influence he mentions

He's "nasty" in the Kermorgant way of being niggly and awkward to play against without fouling. If he's yours he's brilliant and clever, if he's theirs he's a dirty cheating bastard!
Worrying to see a few on the match report thread saying he's not good enough. After three matches, and two goals?!
Yeah I was surprised. Wasn't at the game and fair play to those that were but I thought he looked the business against Sunderland (first half at least but no worse than anyone else second half) and he scored the next game for 2 in 3. I get that a draw was a disappointing result and he might not have been brilliant today but doubt he was the only one. Really not sure who else people are expecting we should have signed that would have bettered 2 goals in 3. For me he is a great signing.
Puts himself about a lot & makes a nuisance of himself but not really seen him have a shot in all 3 games. More of a handful than Magennis but wont get too many more goals than him in any case. Needs a proper frontman to feed off him......Vetokele is our only hope.

Personally I think he's an upgrade on magennis and that's who he was bought in to replace. He got 4 more goals and got 2 more assists than Magennis in a worse team last year so of all things about our squad to complain about Taylor is should not be one of them especially after 3 games and 2 goals!
Our squad at the moment do not deserve any grief at the moment. We know there are deficiencys but we should also know where that stems from so until that is resolved people need to get real.
I think with Fosu and/or Clarke giving him good service he'd score pretty regularly, if JFC wasn't crocked the two of them would be a dangerous combination too. Igor coming back would help as well, having Taylor, Grant and Igor to choose from would give us options to suit most opposition at this level
Let’s be honest for a moment, we’ve got 5 players out injured at the moment that would be starting if fully fit, we are so lacking in creativity st the moment, and very often resort to hoof ball, our strikers are feeding on scraps, they are just not getting the service from midfield.
Lapslie tries his best, and ran his socks off yesterday, I really like him, but there’s a lot of pressure on a young guy with very little experience.
Mark Marshall looks a shadow of the player I’ve seen play before, and I thought we were even worse when he came on.
We desperately need to sign a creative player if players are going to be out for a while, or we are going to keep throwing away points.
The sooner the lad from afar is gone the better, and then we can start to be run like a normal football club,
This squad would get destroyed in the championship, and even if Bowyer did manage to get us promoted through the playoffs, do you really think he’d be able to strengthen us enough to be competitive?
I went to Accrington yesterday and while I agree Taylor never had the best of games he is definitely an improvement on magennis. Once out more creative players return I am convinced Taylor can score 15 or more this season. Grant has already scored a couple and we have vetokele to come back. We have more goals in our strikers this season than last I'm sure.

Maybe they would, but we're not in the Championship and it's not really relevant to our campaign this season. But the team does need to be good enough to prove itself in League One.
Should we ever be promoted, then it's an issue to be addressed at that time.

Not forgetting, most strikers are only as good as the service they are getting. Certainly at League One level.
Better service = more chances created = more goals scored.
When our creative players eventually return from injury, then more chances should be created. Scoring 1 chance from 3 is the expected return from a striker.
It's only fans who expect strikers to score 3 goals from 3 chances!
Young Taylor was getting himself involved in a niggley confrontation from the get go yesterday. I was watching it all unfold from the halfway line and lots of verbal going on when the ball was nowhere near those involved. I’m not sure who was the instigator in all of this but most certainly he was being wound up by the Accrington centre backs......this went on for practically the entire game and at one point led to him being booked. The Accrington lads were of course well aware of this and I’m certain took advantage of the fact. He became more and more frustrated and IMHO his game fell apart, partly as a result of this scenario.

Can you tell me who these magical creative players are ??? Only one that will make any difference is Fosu, and he mainly creates them for himself to score. Reeves hasn't created anything during his (limited) playing time & Clarke wont be back for another couple of months (by which time we will have played around a third of the season)....and even then I doubt he will create much.
the main reason why we haven't got promoted over the past 2 seasons is that 1) we don't have any creative players & 2) we don't have the quality strikers to put away any chances we may create.

However, imo he wont get enough goals to get us promoted/top 6......and neither will Grant.
Igor coming back would help as well, having Taylor, Grant and Igor to choose from would give us options to suit most opposition at this level
