    Washington or Kelly alongside, the lad might stand a chance - Hugill or Eaves, it could be a long season for Sam.....(and of course for us)

    here's a stat - MT has now been in charge of 43 games (admittedly across all competitions)
    He's won 8 (that's 18.6%) - if they'd all been league games, that would be 38 points from 43 games
    Blackpool got 44 points from 46 games last season, Wigan got 45 (less 6 deducted), Reading got 50 (less 6 deducted)
    MT's record is bottom of the league form....

    lower win % than Redfearn, Gemmill/Mcgivern, Cusack, Kerr, Hunter or even Tommy Doc
    Similar % to Harford and Bergara (remember how awful that was?)


    MT didn't keep us up - the points that were on the board when he arrived are why we stayed up....
    Very true.

    MT would have relegated us last season if not for Warne.

    Yet, people think he's better. Bonkers.

    Ok so if Reading wasn’t given point deductions we wouldn’t have stayed up?

    Ok if Warne was still here we would’ve stayed up?

    In your dreams

    If Reading hadn't been deducted points, Cardiff would have been relegated - we'd have still stayed up but despite, rather than thanks to, Matt Taylor

    So you’re not happy with MT then?

    Agreed
    Even though the facts are plain to see

    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.
