I was a little critical of him after the Swansea game. Thought he was very good today. Interesting that Hector who had been marking Hemed (who did a decent job tonight) fluffed his first three kicks and looked immediately flustered when Taylor came on.
My take for what’s its worth, I thought Lyle seemed very chilled tonight, went over to Lee at the start of the natch, with a great big smile on his face, seemed very relaxed, I’ve done a complete u turn on the evidence on show tonight, and don’t think he’ll be leaving us in January, cue a 2 million pound transfer tomorrow!
Did far more in 20 minutes than Hemed did in 70, and I’m someone who still holds hope for Hemed offering us something.
Hemed is as good as the players supporting him. Give him a service and the percentages will do the rest.
But the difference between Hemed and Taylor wasn't the service they got. Taylor was more physical, faster and had much better movement. Taylor can create chances for himself and others too, he's not a goal poacher.
If Lyle stays (and keeps fit) we'll stay up easily, he's that good.
Lyle I reckon feeds off the buzz from us as fans. Today he didn’t get as much adulation and he won’t unless he signs a new contract. I hope we can get something to work for him as with him, Hemed and maybe someone else as well in, the crowd will bounce. He will do well to stay both financially (I hope) and he will perform at a higher standard with Charlton than with a move imo.
He is so good, that cross almost won us the game... the vision and way he strikes the ball similar to Wembley... He will be the difference and will keep us up, he DESERVES a pay rise and to be paid what he is worth in this division.

Showed his quality when he came onto today. The ball just sticks to him and he has the canny ability to be in the right channel at the right time.
1.Bowyer -check

Not sure if a 'fair' offer can be considered enough.

Reckon he could link well with Taylor

Captain would be a lovely tip of the hat too.
