Christmas Tree Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Say what you want about Ryan Taylor, but he is tough! Fucking hero tonight, and no mistake. Has taken a fair few hard batterings from various Stoke players and weathered the storm. Yup, was the butt of all jokes at the start of the season but has done very well for the b & w cause.

The College Dropout Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Irrespective of his cult hero status for scoring against the unwashed, I'm really starting to like Ryan Taylor as a person. Took two hefty knocks today and just got on with it. That thug Huth almost broke his rib. Agreed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wil Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Really chuffed for him. He's obviously working really hard to improve and develop himself as a player, and is noticeably much more composed on the ball these last few games. He's turning himself into a valuable team member.

Tachikoma Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Made a brilliant left footed cross today, wonder why he doesn't do that more often. Also Santon is now a RB as far as I'm concerned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I actually think his throws are comparable to Delap's? In distance? Maybe. In trajectory? No chance.

While it's easier to like players when they're winning you games, I don't suppose we've ever had a prolonged period to scrutinise Taylor's performance on the pitch, Forest and Blackburn are the only games he's missed, aren't they?

Tisd09 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Ryan Taylor has really turned things around. Like most on here would not have batted an eyelid had he been moved on in the summer but has been great so far this season. Nailed on for most improved player at the moment. No doubt if Santon is to come in I hope its for Simmo. Showed some balls yesterday as well. Was battered by Walters and Huth and played on. The header when Huth attacked him was brave as!!

ponsaelius Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Got to admit I've been wrong about him. After his early performances I thought we were doomed as long as he was in the line-up. However he's actually impressing me a bit recently, he seems to be actively adapting to the left back role and his defensive duties as well as becoming a bit more composed on the ball. I don't think he's a longterm option and the help from Jonas is pivotal but he's done a much better job than I ever expected. Fair play to the mackem slayer.

TRon Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I think Gary Neville got it right. With Jonas as his back up Ryan Taylor could go on playing left back until he's 43. That's not having a dig at him btw, he did a good job defensively yesterday, but if we want to move to the next level we need a genuine left back who is comfortable bringing the ball out. Ryan Taylor is still very limited. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
