Its been quiet on the Terry Taylor front for a long time. Had to go back pages to find this. I thought a couple of months ago he was back in training ? Has he gone back to the treatment room with his old long term roommate Chuks?
Nothing has been said to suggest he's injured, we just have a lot of midfielders so he's down the pecking order a bit

Admittedly the club have a lot of midfielders but thought he would have made the bench at least once by now. Seems then he might be surplus to requirements without hardly kicking a ball. Shame , I was quite enjoying the wait until Terry Taylor is fit, will be like a new signing quotes.

I wouldn't necessarily rule him out yet. A lot of the midfielders we have are loanees, out of contract or have schrodinger's contract with a Hungarian side.
Plus the intensity that Jones needs/wants isn't really conducive to "easing you in" - you need to be at full capacity straight away.
He might go but a young player with a good reputation seems like an excellent project for Jones to work with.
Jones clearly likes playing a settled midfield and Taylor isn't exactly the type to change a game off the bench with his energy like Bakinson or Camara. Can see him working in a double pivot with Coventry next season
If he's fit (and I've no idea), he's presumably behind Coventry and Dobson at the moment - when Dobson leaves and he's had a pre-season, maybe he'll get another chance.
I don’t see where he’d fit in, he’s recovering from a major injury and we have a big squad with only a few out injured. You can’t leave Bakinson out after scoring midweek, and you’d generally have a GK, CB, FB, CM, winger and striker on the bench which only leaves one more spot. Makes sense that it’s another attacking player so you have more options to change a game.
It'll be interesting to see if we win another game or two relatively quickly, if the likes of Taylor will be given a couple of games to show what they're all about before the end of the season. Similarly with Hector

Yeah this is what I'm thinking. It might be him and Coventry pulling the strings, or Taylor might be providing cover for Coventry.
I wouldn't write him off just yet. He was coming off an injury when he joined us, and then got a bad ankle injury as he was coming up to speed. But he was highly rated when he joined us, still young, and a bit like Coventry I think he'll surprise some people with his ability to get stuck in and not just do the pretty stuff.
Coventry and Taylor will be here next season but no point in rushing Taylor in just so see him this season. Like Miles - let them have a full pre season and start again next Term
ive seen a few u21 games and have yet to see anything about Fiorini that suggests he has a future with us, or Man City
With George Dobson heading east we need to know if Terry Taylor is a contender to take his place in the 18 or even be a starter ?
Agree with Swisdom about Miles as the psychological effect of 3 big injuries in two years will be better served by him having a break from all the physio and rehab and being refreshed to join the pre season training; Leaburn for the sake of his career really needs to stay fit for 30 odd games or more in 24/25. For Cafc hopefully 🤞
I think we might see Taylor last few games of the season. I've still got high hopes for him being someone that can play a major role for us , it's just about properly managing his return as he's had absolutely no luck so far with injuries.
Fiorini was just an odd signing and I don't think Jones especially rates him or Louie Watson it seems.
Kind of expect for Bakinson/Camera & Ladapo to drop off from the first team scene once we get through the Easter period. Maybe Taylor might return closer to the end of the season for some minutes.

I'm hoping with Leaburn it's just a case of him still growing into that substantial frame of his and being asked to play a few too many games back to back at such young age. Hopefully it'll settle down for him as he matures and we build a squad where he isn't so heavily relied upon.
Am I mad for wanting to see a Coventry, Taylor, Fiorini midfield a couple of times before the end of the season?
I don't sense Fiorini is in NJ's plans at all, but I would imagine we will see Taylor at some point, if he is actually fit. We're close to the edge of the woods, but we're not quite out of them yet so any experimenting will probably have to wait a few more weeks yet.
Not writing him off of course, but similarly I'm not exactly waiting for Taylor to come in as some sort of L1 star in waiting.
He was apparently "highly rated" but so were Lavelle, Kirk, DJ, Edun, Camara, Ladapo etc, so I won't get excited until he actually does it on the pitch
It would be nice for him to get some games this season in a no pressure situation to show his worth
Don’t expect to see Ness, Taylor, Fiorini, and Watson again this season. Maybe even Edun depending on whether Ramsay is back sooner or later.
It’s interesting how Asiimwe has come in to the squad with Edun dropping out despite having REG who can play at right-wing back if Watson needs to come off.
37 players in that list. Many out on loan or in on loan. A big chunk of them are out of contract.
I anticipate there being around 17 of the 37 from that list still here at the start of the new season. A huge turnover in players. A really interesting few months ahead.

I think it might be something like this but so tough to predict.

Above would mean 19 left but would not be surprised if Assimwe and Mitchell were loaned out leaving your 17 number. Then get in 5-7 really top class elite players and we are good to go
The likes of Henry and Edun may remain as they are contracted and might be difficult to shift. I am sure we would move on Aneke if we could but I don't see it.
