Facts are facts, whoever posts them
Taylor has been a disaster so far
When PW left, we had 18 points from 11 games, and a GD of +7
We finished the season with 32 points from the remaining 35 games and a GD of -18
The form over those games was so bad that if we'd performed like that over the entire season, we'd have been relegated (Wigan would have finished just below us ONLY because of the points deduction)
And now, the most expensive Rotherham team in history, has lost 4 and drawn 2 this season

That's why I'm negative about Taylor....
But if that's what you want from a manager, that's your choice.....

What a fatuous argument. Bare facts with no context or perspective whatsoever. We'll never know how PWs team would have finished up had he not left, but leave he did leaving the club in a likely perilous position. Your whole argument presupposes that Warne's team would have maintained some form at least as good as what Taylor's did. It may have been worse and we'd have been relegated! We certainly didn't look like maintaining that early season point haul...but you never know, we might have rode our luck all season and won the league....who knows?!!!!

To call Taylor a "disaster" is typical of the knee-jerk, emotional/panicky schoolgirl crap that we regularly get on here. Nobody can argue about the points haul so far but the whole club and team has a much more positive and professional feel about it. FFs give the man some time and support before making such critical statements. He's had nowhere near enough time to make his mark.

I didn't make any counterfactual claims about what would have happened if Warne had stayed, I merely pointed out the club record under MT is not good enough

The form over MT's 40 league and 44 league and cup games is bottom of the league form, even with the win over Norwich, even with the most expensive team in the club's history
If we hadn't had such a good start under Warne, then the MT results last season would have taken us down
just looking at league games MT's record for us is now P 40, 36 points, GD -22
That's what I'm judging him on

That said, I'll say again that I think that defence and midfield is good enough to stay up this season
