I'm not sure whether Taylor is a natural striker, but what I am sure of is that he has been our best striker in a successful team over the last 15 months. I think he deserves an enormous amount of credit for improving himself as a player, proving just as effective in league 2 as he was at the level below. I don't know if the stats for this are there but I'm willing to bet that his goals per chances ratio is much improved this season over last. In the last 12 years our top goalscorers (league only, including play-offs) are: R.Lambert: 52 goals from 117 starts R.Walker 50 goals from 118 starts J.Agogo: 41 goals from 109 starts J.Kuffour: 32 goals from 104 starts M.Taylor: 27 goals from 55 starts Taylor has the best goals per game ratio of all of the above. Doesn't make him the best of that bunch by a long way, but when we complain about him not being a natural striker, well natural or not, he's getting the job required of him done. I think all of them except Kuffour would have easily scored 30 plus in the conference. it's not really a good comparison

Wow i had no idea he was doing that well fair play! Time to cut him some slack

The lack of goals from the rest of the team (non strikers) puts pressures on our strikers. That isn't helped by our lack of movement/central attacking midfielder which would give defenses a lot more problems and give others more chances to score.

What I like about Taylor is the way he comes across in interviews. Very laid back, he knows he's not everyone's cup of tea but he doesn't take the criticism to heart from what I can see. You dont see him cupping his ears when he scores or making a 'be quiet' gesture with hand and mouth to travelling fans.
He gets a lot of shìt online and at games but he just gets on with it. Yeah he may be wasteful on occasion, but he cracks on and invariably comes up with a goal.
I like the lad!

I've clearly said that it doesn't make him the best of the bunch by a long way. My point is that, at the level he's played at, regardless of how many chances he may have missed, he has been getting the job required of him done, which many of his critics on here (doubtless you included) have refuted.

TBH out of the two I'd sooner see Balanta start on Saturday. Montano lining himself up to be one of our worse ever wingers at the moment.
Not on Saturday he wasn't

So the pair of them scored 39? goals between them last season and that's a fantastic return compared to what we've got from our strikers in seasons of late (yep,non league I know) but this season they have 13 goals between them with a third of the season gone so bang on course for a similar return of goals by the end of the season which would give us another decent shot at making the play offs at least.We would all be more than happy if they do score around 40 goals wouldn't we?Beggars belief really that they should be questioned as being not good enough for this league and I think it's just a case of we see all the missed chances or poorer performances and other strikers in this league bang in nearly every chance and never have a bad game,which is total bollocks.Mark Richards is talked up on here but he missed 2 sitters against us but as we only see his goals on tv and not the missed chances it gives a very biased view of a strikers goal scoring ability.Im sure there's opposing fans out there who think they would like having either of our strikers playing for them.It may be a case of building up his confidence but DC said in yesterday's Bristol Post there isn't a striker in this league better than Matt Taylor when you take into consideration all he contributes to the team as well as scoring goals.Of course he shouldn't even be in our team according to some people but hey ho the managers clueless anyway.

Taylor is definitely good enough for league two. Harrison is yet to convince me though. He's been shocking so far this season. He's been useless in virtually every league game at the Mem though this season. Harrison blows hot & cold, he seemed unplayable at Cambridge but yesterday not worth playing! Hope he's proven you wrong ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

Just goes to show how hard work, practise, practice, practice and good coaching can improve a player of any sport.

well in my op,i did say i had high hopes for both strikers,but i obviously didnt give matty taylor enough time to prove his ability at league 2 level. he has of course been fantastic for us,,harrison has mostly been very poor but is still a useful sub with his pace and eye for goal. i dont mind people bringing out old posts because its fun to see just how wrong or right you can be with opinions sometimes. before the season started i created a post saying "we will be promoted" at least 1 poster said i was "nuts" so im very much hoping i can put that thread back on here. for what its worth i dont think taylor or harrison will be at rovers next season,,taylor will go to a bigger club and harrison wont be offered a new contract.

Maybe the original thread went OTT and dismissed Taylor too quickly, but in their defence, I think a fair few of us were pessimistic about whether Taylor was good enough for the league.
And for all our sakes, and the teams, I'm delighted that he's proved so many wrong. Long may it continue
