Not a name that springs to mind, but the radar have obviously spotted something in him. McCrory's replacement then?Originally Posted by Woodypie

Presumably Taylor is surplus to requirements now that Chesterfield have signed Miller!

It’s all a bit weird, all the reviews I’ve seen from Chesterfield fans suggest Taylor is fantastic going forward but Rowe wasn’t convinced about him defensively. Which would make going out and signing Miller (who I liked a lot) a baffling thing to do, as he’s basically the same. Maybe even more so considering we converted him from a genuine winger into a wing back.
Either way, sounds like a player who’ll fit our attacking style and has decent experience at this level. Works for me.

We have completed the signing of Chesterfield wing back Joel Taylor.
The 25-year-old Stoke City academy graduate, who joined the Spireites from Chester last summer, has signed a two-year deal after we paid an undisclosed fee for his services.
Our head coach, Ian Burchnall, said: “We needed a wing back who could offer a threat one-against-one. Joel’s pace in the wide areas and his ability to attack in those moments is really important.
“He’s been playing wing back at Chesterfield and, based on the games we’ve seen, he was most effective when they were attacking. With us being a team that wants to do that, we feel he’ll suit us well.
“With Joel we have to look at the whole package, including his age and potential. He’s got the capacity to develop his game further and we feel we can help him do that in this environment.
“We know Adam Chicksen can play in the same position, which gives us two highly competent players in that area.”
A video interview with Joel will follow later this week.

Definitely a positional need so very good news.
And a player-type needed to make IB's system work....Chicksen could only play there if there's a similar dynamic one-on-one threat type of player on the right-hand side. Otherwise, what are we doing, trying to stave off relegation...going into NL games playing 5 recognised defenders?
I think we'll be welcoming Taylor's counterpart for the right side pretty soon.

Chesterfield fans giving off a grudging ‘wanted to keep him but he was 3rd choice’ vibe so that’s a good sign.

No trial by You Tube cos there is none. Trial by Wiki says he only made one appearance for Chessie? Is it up to date?
Sorry, 16 this season.
