Most strikers miss more than they score, if it was the other way around they would be at the top level

Well whooppy bloody do. How about all the missed sodding chances? We would be Widdleing this league if he was any good. Your criteria for letting up on him is him scoring yet when he does its not good enough? Cool. I am pleased that the lucky header went in. But we would have won the game without it. Its the chances he has missed in some drawn matches that have cost us big time. He simply isnt very good. |

Premier league players miss more chances than they score. |

He's a flipping conference player ffs. He is going to miss chances. Premier league players miss more chances than they score. I agree, they all miss chances, to be honest he's one of the most hardworking strikers we've had, take a look back to last season for example |

Right O.K. so are you saying we have to accept having a crap striker just because we are in a crap league? |

His overall contribution to the game is immense and now that he has started finding the back of the net he is becoming a key player. And most of the 7,000 fans who gave him a rousing round of applause when he came off today would appear to agree. Blissett and Taylor up front actually look pretty good to me. |

Fun fact for you Tbone: Taylor has scored as many league goals in half a season as Lambert scored in his first whole season with us. |

Not comparing him to Rickie by any chance are you? |

I don't think he is 'useless' or clueless like you seem to delight in saying, but I think you have to accept that yes, we are going to have lower quality players. Do you really think we are going to have L1 players in the conference? His link play, work rate and running is very good. He is a good footballer but his strike rate isn't good enough. If it was he wouldn't be playing for us. |

And that is more important to me than the odd lucky header or the odd penalty. |

Not comparing him to Rickie by any chance are you? The point is: Did you write Rickie off as a 'waster' and a 'useless twat' after he scored as many goals as Matty in his whole first season? Imagine if the manager did, we would never have got to league one. So if Taylor, already a good all around player, is well on course to beat Rickie's record for the first season in his first season surely you must acknowledge potential? |

He's now scored 5 goals in the last 9 league games - over 25 for a full season at that rate. I think the time to criticise him has finished and it's now time to praise him for his current ability to knock them in, whether superb strikes or lucky deflections. He has to be in the right place at the right time to to score, just like any striker, and at the moment, he's doing the job.

If Lambert had the chances that Taylor has missed he would have put most of them away. Also he was not fit when he joined us. The same can not be said about our current incumbent. |

He created the chance himself with a great run and scored with a great finish |

I'm no good with history, but am I right in thinking we were a conference side when we signed conference player Rickie Lambert? |

Goal machine Taylor  A lucky looping header just managed to go in. Another simpler to score than miss one on one chance blown. And countless mis controlled balls to his feet and inaccurate passing by the awful striker. Taylor was quality the second half at least . Do you have some sort of alteriour motive against Taylor or do you just not like to be proved wrong ? Your campaign against Taylor reads very embarasing for you on our forum. |

Kinda sucks that we can't enjoy a Dam 4-0 victory over a promotion rival without having to defend one of the goalscorers.
