Ryan Taylor

[Pata]

Thought this was some joke when I saw the thread title.

[durhamunigeordie]

Feel for him. Not going to pretend I like/rate him as a player, but as a bloke he seems top draw and it is terrible to see this happen to anyone.

[littlelunchbox]

if he is suppose to out for the entirety of next season, could this injury even retire him? sounds extremely serious.

[Smal]

Doesn't sound like he's even thought of retiring. Good on him.

[Stifler]

Awful news for the guy, I'm really curious as to how it's managed to fuck him for next year as well though.

Our medical staff.

I think he's going to have to be very lucky if this doesn't force him to retire, I doubt we will ever see him again though.

 

Our medical staff are at fault for this? Sorry, what is this based on?

It was a tongue in cheek comment, however they do have previous in mis-treating our injured players and mis-judging the amount of time required to recuperate.

[Deuce]

This may sound harsh but we should just have him put to sleep. The fees required to sort him out will be astronomical and it's kinder in the long run.

 

[oldtype]

Poor guy. He's had absolutely horrendous luck with injuries over the course of his career.

[Newcastle Fan]

I really like him and do rate him as a squad player, his freekicks always gave us something, an absloute shame that this has happend and it honestly couldn't have happend to a nicer bloke.

[mrmojorisin75]

fucks sake he's only 28, thought he was already in his 30's (probably because he's as slow as fuck)

 

best of luck to the lad, with a bit of luck from our pov by the time he gets back he'll never see the first team again

[Eddy Chibas]

Gutted for the lad.  A decent, hard working pro who is useful as a squad member. 

 

How do you recover from something like this.  Not even physically, but mentally..

 

That's the greater challenge, for repeat ACL'ers - staring at another tough 12 mth rehab/slog with the specialists post-op, just to get back to the professional level of performance. And it's arguably the physically most taxing rehab regime going around, at an elite level. It's that aspect (the mental side) which forces the retirement, especially when it' back-to-back, or a 3-peat

 

The final reconstructive procedure, is more to do with maintaining an acceptable quality-of-life after football, in the context of having enough strength & range-of-movement, and the confidence to participate in the basics with the kids (whether that be backyard footy or cricket)

You seem to know a lot about sports injuries. Are you active in that field or healthcare?

[Magpie]

Absolutely gutted forhim, especially being so close to a comeback. Is it the same knee does anyone know?

[Sifu]

Gutted for Raylor. You can only imagine how he must be feeling right now.

 

Not an automatic starter by any means but he is a decent enough (utility) player to have in the squad. Capable on set pieces and did slot in decently enough last season at RB/LB/RM (a few hiccups here and there admittedly) and a good professional. Speedy recovery Ryan.

[TaylorJ_01]

He was rubbish at full-back to be honest I'm gutted for him and he was useful to have around the squad, yes.

[Sifu]

He was rubbish at full-back to be honest I'm gutted for him and he was useful to have around the squad, yes.

 

Hence why I said he has had a few hiccups here and there - City away wasn't his finest hour. We didn't have many options at the time mind (plus Santon was only settling in...).

[Ronaldo]

He's as one dimensional as it gets, but that one dimension would've come in pretty handy at times this season.

One very long hiccup.

 

Had some moments of absolute magic, though.

[Guest neesy111]

I do think we could had done with Raylor a few times this season at full back and in midfield actually.  Can't see him getting through a 3rd major knee injury, either he'll retire or he'll go to a lower level.

[Stottie]

He seems like a sound lad so I'm gutted for him. I don't think you can be too harsh on performances where he was stuck on the left.

Two great goals for us, but yet to match the four he got in five games against us for Wigan.

 

If Colo's going and Simpson's off, does this mean we need two center halves and more cover at full back. That's not going to happen, is it?

Dr Richard Steadman Greedy old man.

[Cajun]

Hope Steadman has a Nandos style loyalty card, we must have used him more than Nile Ranger has done something cuntish.

[Kanj]

Steadman's the fucking man.

Good gig if you can get it mind.

[toontownman]

Absolutely gutted for Raylor. Hope he manages to overcome this very big hurdle in his career. Top bloke.
