Team v Halifax

The handling of Sam by IB after that red hot run was strange without a doubt.

But the Taylor situation is very different for me, unfortunately i wasn't there that day but I wonder bar a fantastic strike for his goal did he play well against Maidenhead? You can't keep a player in the side cos of a rare long range wonder strike unless he played well over the 90 mins.

He played very well over the 90 minutes and was unfairly dropped...Not the best way to treat your players...

I’d play him as left wing back over Chicksen any day. Even on the right he settled into it against Maidenhead and after producing one abysmal attempt at a cross on his right foot, soon afterward put in a peach of a cross with the same foot that deserved finishing off.

He seems maddeningly inconsistent, but I’d still pick him on Saturday to play on the left.

"Taylor - A peach of a strike for the goal but otherwise was clumsy and one footed offering very little threat. No idea what we’ve got the most one sided player at the club plying on his weakest side. I’ll mark him up for his goal though - 6.5"

And therein lies the beauty of football, it is all about opinions. One supporter's "very good" is another supporter's "clumsy and one footed offering very little threat" and a marked up rating of 6.5 due to the wonder strike.

Taylor was pretty average against Maidenhead. He did a job on the wrong side without ever looking like a right wing back. As left wing back at the moment it's 50/50 between him and Chicksen, the weakness of one is the strength of the other. I would say that neither option suggest they are up to a place in a promotion winning team.

Well, perhaps one day you will break the habit of a lifetime and get to see these players yourself and give you own opinion, instead of cherry-picking others..

I recognise that quote 😂

I guess we must all have players we just ‘don’t get’….Taylor is that player for me. We’ve got ‘Check back Chicksen’ and ‘Turn back Taylor’ as our wing backs, no wonder we’re not creating much. For the record I do like Chicksen, but a wing back he ain’t.

Cameron is the answer for LWB, I’m sure of it.

Seeing as we appear determined to play the wing back system, it's a bit odd that it's an area our recruitment team seem to have neglected a bit. We have a few options, but basically they are defenders trying to perform the role, or wingers trying to perform the role. All are reasonably capable of doing a 6/10 job, but nobody who you would pick in a heartbeat. We must have a bit of financial leeway unless we are simply using the cash to cover costs, so let's hope the #radar hits the target sooner rather than later.
