No way Taylor goes, people seem to be basing that on him being fit at the end of the season but not featuring, something we could afford to do because we had so many midfielders at the time (remember Louie Watson, Camara and Fiorini not even getting in the squads) so we could make sure he didn't re-injure himself. 

He's a set piece specialist and a box to box midfielder, very similar to Coventry and I expect them to compete for that role. 

Would it have mattered if he reinjured himself given the season was about to end?

You're on a wind up surely?

Garry sorry your numbers are wrong - Last season in L1 Taylor started 2 games for 120 mins, he came on as a sub in 3 games for 63 mins and sat on the bench for one game.

I wonder where the difference is. Transfermarkt, which is what I used, has him down as starting against Port Vale and Shrewsbury for 72 minutes and 44 minutes which is 116 mins. He had sub appearances against Bristol Rovers, Fleetwood and Stevenage (where he came on and then came off injured which I'd forgotten) amounting to 13, 5 and 28 mins, totalling 46 mins, meaning 162 mins overall in the league. Looking at the discrepancy in those sub appearances I reckon you count injury time and Transfermarkt doesn't when totalling up minutes played.

I think Lancs uses the press association stats. 

Makes sense. To be honest, I think it's better if the injury time is used, Taylor came on on the 77th minute against Bristol Rovers so he's down as playing for 13 minutes but Rovers scored in the 98th minute so that's a pretty substantial additional amount of time Taylor actually played there. He came on for '5 minutes' against Fleetwood and then Hector got booked in the 99th minute and Taylor was still on so that's triple the stated time for him. I think that's worth bearing in mind for future minutes played usage on Transfermarkt as injury time has spiralled, it's a big difference.

Yes I use the PA info and calculate a player's time from when they get on the pitch to when they leave the pitch. 
Garry I suggest you use our Statbank for such info not a spurious  website

Mr Jones and me, look into the future. Yeah, we stare at the beautiful women.

I see what you did there .. 👍

As I said before I think we need to see outgoings before anyone else comes in, simply because we've now filled all the gaps and new signings are now us looking to upgrade on what we have

That makes sense, the squad feels pretty bloated at the moment and there’s still some deadwood that we haven’t been able to move on yet. Hopefully we can make some progress there over the next week.

24 days until the season starts, properly? 

How many more do you reckon we'll have brought in by then?

2/3

Definitely one more goalkeeper and I would be very surprised to not see another midfielder added. Beyond that depends on who goes and who of the academy kids are felt ready to step up (if any.)

Can see 4 or 5 out at least either permanently (AMB, Isted, Ness, maybe Fraser) or on loan (Casey, Mbick and Fraser if no-one meets his wage)

I hope we get another keeper but I wouldn't be massively surprised if we didn't. There comes a point where you go down your list of available keepers and if we've missed out on all the ones that are considered better than Mannion then we might just stop until that list is shaken up in January. We definitely need another centre back I think, I can't imagine us playing Gillesphey as first choice all season and we've lost Thomas in terms of the versatility of being able to play on the left side of defence. We might use Edwards there but more likely we'll rotate him with Small and we still look a bit vulnerable at the back; after last season's performances only bringing in one new centre back would be madness.

I would loan out Ness, asiimwe and z Mitchell. Too many defenders on the books, Watson and edun will be difficult to move on so probably keep as back up.
Get rid of Scott Fraser  and aneke but again difficult. Other than that I am happy with the squad, we need one more player like tyreece Campbell but that's it.
