Conspicuous by how we haven't missed him at all. All mentions have disappeared. No 'if only CBT were here'. It's fine, you were all wrong, even Garrymanilow, but I can see why you were wrong, he had goal contribution stats on his side. Everything else, though
Him leaving was one of the biggest reasons we got even worse under Appelton and offered zero attacking threat in games.

Hasn’t fully got the Charlton out of his system it seems.
If he was in a Charlton shirt, he would have tapped it in to the empty net.
some players seem to click at some clubs and fail elsewhere (Kirk for example) and I think CBT falls into that category. I have a feeling that he will be out on loan somewhere by January
We might be on a promotion bonus for him , plus I’d rather Derby went up than Bolton but would like both of them up with Pompey , I’d see any of them as more likely to be a threat to promotion next season than the rest of the guff up there

I think Wrexham will be up there.
I don’t. I read an article earlier that they owe the Hollywood actors £10m and due to ffp, they won’t be able to compete wage wise with the top clubs
No involvement for Derby against Blackburn this evening, not even on the bench.
Wasnt involved in their last Pre-Season friendly either
Hurt? Or not fancied?
I wondered that, but he was involved in some capacity in their other pre-season games, although did notice that prior to their recent win against Real Valladolid, they lost three on the trot, vs. Barnsley (4-3) - Shrewsbury (2-1) - Chesterfield (4-0)
So can only presume that Corey didnt overly impress.
No problem this thread being bumped up while he’s injured or not pulling up any trees but if he starts doing well I will question why the Corey Blackett Taylor thread is getting resurrected about a former player playing in a higher division that is not relevant to us and wonder why the poster can’t move on now he’s gone
I may have this wrong, but didn't he struggle with a couple of clubs before us? If so, it's a lesson for players that, if it clicks somewhere, you might be better staying.
There's plenty of analogies in the 'real world' of work. But then we don't usually have the risk of a career ending injury and a 5-year insurance payout at current salary. I think that's what swings it in the end.

Sounds like it’s more about injuries than ability, which he’s not proven either way for them yet?

His agent is doing a great job of fucking up his career. A happy player will perform better. At Villa he wasn't good enough, at Tranmere he was ok and got noticed, with us he was made to feel special and we got the best out of him.
His agent thought he was suddenly Billy Big Bollocks and that CBT was ready to conquer the world but I think deep-down, Corey needs to feel the love and a club like Derby has a very expectant crowd who clearly got on his back from the first minute and so he's gone backwards and is more withdrawn.
Yet another example of a player letting their agent tell them anything and believing the shit they spout. Some agents just want to move players around like a commodity for a commission whereas the good ones actually give a shit about the player and their welfare.

We've definitely missed him though in the sense that we've missed his goal and assist contributions that has led us to lean on May even more

If he was a good finisher he would be playing above L1 given his pace etc.

I saw this on X last night
They are not at all happy about him and feel well and truly ripped off :-)
