owlsdreamer Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 The criticism of him for Burnley's first two goals was ridiculous. For the third goal, somebody on here wrote that he had a zillion chances to clear the ball. I mean, the bloke hasn't played well, but if things are just being made up and then repeated, he hasn't got a chance. That must be the biggest understatement said on here for a very long time. We have made a major error signing him.Why cant people accept that,specially DJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what happens though - which is why it's pointless trying to engage in debate about it. Some people just wanna apportion blame and they'll pin it on whoever is the target that week/month/season whatever. Nothing wrong with pointing out a players mistakes and blaming them for the outcomes if that is indeed the case - but people actually do make things ups - or stretch things beyond credibility in order to blame a player. Once that gains momentum there's little point trying to be objective about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just lumping some hyperbole into a sentence doesn't make it more true. It's what happens though - which is why it's pointless trying to engage in debate about it.

BigOwl Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Who would you put Taylor on a par with at the moment in terms of CB's past or present? Larry May Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichSheffWeds Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I really hope things turn around for Taylor. My biggest worry is his total lack of pace. At the moment he looks like he will get murdered when players run at him or turn to his left and create space. They seem to have all day to strike the ball. Lets hope he has a blinder on saturday.

Maybe he shouldn't have been brought into the side quite so quickly, but having said that something needed to be done because we were still shipping goals with Beevers / Liera / Gardner / Buxton / Reda at the back.

Semedo's ferret Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 How's he gunna pull that off? Legends are born over time. He's 32 ! Times not on his side even if he remembered how to defend starting with the hull game. Can't fault the optimism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something i've been trying to argue but for reasons that you have made above I've been blown out of the water. Once they make up their minds, people completely stop being objective.

Guest ka58 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Way Wednesday fans slate Taylor is a disgrace and an embarassment. I don't know how it will turn out for him at Wednesday, but the fact that he's being made a scapegoat after 3/4 games is a joke. Love all the calls on fh/posts on here etc calling for llera back which conveniently forget that we got Taylor in cos our back 4 was poo pooe and llera had been in it. Need to give him a break - decide after he's settled in a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmigo Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Not easy playing with a new defence. Our mistake was bringing Taylor in after the season started. He would be a different player with a pre season in our defence under his belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryPlopper Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 My OP might have been a little optimistic, however....we ARE too quick to make judgement. Parallels with Purse have been made. Was Purse not put alongside a poor right back and pulled out of position a lot as a result? We have not had a settled defence, that is part and parcel of the problem. I do believe this guy will come good for us, VERY good. Legend may be pushing it yes, but please - give the guy a chance in a settled defence that doesn't include a winger (doing a commendable job, but a winger non the less) at right back.

We had a defence that wasn't performing, we bring in Taylor, its not immediately rectified so he is vilified and calls are to replace him with the defence that was struggling in the first place. Madness. The legend thing is a bit daft, not bothered about him being a "legend" just let him settle in and be a decent centre half for us. The pressure he must be feeling now must be unreal and that isn't going to help him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cavtat Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 He is garbage and Jones is a thrower for signing him. He publicly slated Llera for his performance at Brighton yet refuses to condemn Taylor for gifting Bolton and Burnley goals. To make things worse he loans out Beevers, who is a far better player to one of our rivals. He has basically weakened our team and strengthened Millwall's.
