Taylor was pish. That clean sheet spell we had with Brown in goals has really fried some folk.

He wasn't very good at all but when you replace him with the guy who was his backup last season then you can see why we are in the state we are. O'Connor and this season's Arnason are not a patch on Taylor which is saying something.

I compiled a stat last season of when Taylor was playing and our defence had by far the most blocked shots in the league, the big lanky streak of p1sh got himself between the ball and the target a lot more often that anyone else in the Premiership did.

If Gashton was still here, he would’ve spent a large part of the game at CF yesterday.

It’s the only tactical move McWinless had

Ash Taylor was an enigma.

When he was right and on it he was a decent big centre half and good for the odd goal in the other box from a corner.

But he seemed to have these brain farts when everything just went Donald Trump, and you never knew when these moments/games were going to happen.

I don't think he was an enigma as much as he was just a bit patchy. Same with Diamond who now seems to be etched into the history books as a categorically awful player - yet I can remember plenty of games where he looked the business.

I actually thought he was pretty solid bar some poor patches of form which mainly came at the beginning and tail end of his time at the Dons. As you say, when he was bad he was rank rotten. Probably still a better option than any other CH options we have currently bar McKenna.

Right come on, answer honestly. How long have you been saving that one up for?

Dennis Wyness to hang up his boots at the grand old age of 41 after Huntlys final game of the season v Brora Huns on Saturday

Ash Taylor had quite a lot of games where he had a complete nightmare, off the top of my head are,

ICT away 1-3 when he gave away a pen and was at fault for the other 2 goals.

Maribor home 1-1 he was at fault for the goal.

St Johnstone away 0-3 on a Friday night a few seasons back he was horrendous that night.

Dundee United home 0-3 His debut when he set up a Dundee Utd player for one of their goals it might have even been GMS.

Im sure there were a lot more that I have erased from my memory, the point is if he was playing on Saturday instead of Arnason or AOC we would have probably still lost 3-0 because he was shyte and wasn't good enough.

Diamond turned gash around the time he was "linked with Atletico".

I agree he looked promising but he declined badly

Agreed. Thought he was tremendous when he first got into the team but suddenly ....... it all went Pete Tong for the boy.
