Rob Taylor

[Samwelo]

Article about Rob in the sentinel today about trying to break back into the first team. I do like Rob, think he's a bit of a rough diamond that could improve exponentially with the right coaching, if he practises crossing he could be a brilliant player for us. I did like this show of commitment also "It has been a frustrating time. I've been in all summer without a holiday trying anything to help the process speed up. It's brilliant to be back involved.". We need more players with that level of commitment!

Aslong as he doesn't play left back then I'm fine with him starting. Got to give vincent and myrie williams a bit more time though.

He's versatile, can play left back, left mid or up front which is very important in small squads like ours, he has bags of pace which is what scares the opposition most, and he can do the hardest thing in the game which is put the ball in the onion bag. They're the reasons that I think Adams would use to justify his contract.

 

Wouldn't be starting if I was Mickey but he's a great option to have off the bench when teams are tiring.

 

With all of the above said tisdeano I get where you're coming from. The guy really hasn't progressed as we had hoped has he?

[tisdeano]

no, not at all LV

 

on his day he is amazing, unfortunately his days are very few and far between

[valeblue]

Should give him a start tonight....

I've always rated Taylor, imo considering where he came from(Nuneaton who were then Conference North level) he's a decent lower league winger.

Yes he's frustrating but few players in League Two aren't, he's done well in both games he's come on for me(he subs in general changed the game at Morecambe) and he put a cross in Saturday that was begging to be finished off!

 

He can also offer us a few goals which shouldn't be sniffed at.

Flatters to deceive. Worth his place in the squad as he can cover a number of positions and on his day can certainly trouble defenders with his pace.

Im not sure if he has bags of potential or is a just a quick runner.

 

More baffling of an enigma than Louis Dodds.

Potential??? Isn't he 27 or there about? I think both him and Dodds have just gone sideways since they joined the club and both need to take advantage of the situation were in to get a run of games under there belts

Impact player, not starting line-up

[Tenement Funster]

I think some average coaching and a lack of a footballing brain have probably cost Rob his chance of ever being a first eleven player. However as an impact sub and squad player I think he's just fine. Pace off the bench and versatility is always useful in a small squad.

Scored some decent goals a couple of seasons ago (especially Hereford away) then seems to have lost his way. Iv always had a soft spot for him cos I thought he could kick on and be a real find for the vale but it's never really happened for him

Bang on comment :-) id try him up front playing off tom pope lol

[andy jones]

Hasn't been the same player since Adams went public with the comment ...

 

'He doesn't realise how good a player he is'

 

Obviously the penny still hasn't dropped.
