We are interested in lots of players, unfortunately we are never interested in actually getting them signed. He's fairly decent isn't he

Who was the last player we had who was 6'4?

 

My mind is at a loss with the sun/lack of engine power.

Ah fair play. Bit of a brain melt there.

 

I was thinking about Duncan Ferguson or someone :lol:

Dropout that is why we need a fast CB back there.....

 

Neither Taylor or Colo are very good at recovering once beaten.

 

Its a big issue and has been for a while.

 

Agreed. But we also need a more physical CB to prevent us getting beaten in the first place. Any defence with someone as slow as Colo in the centre is going to have trouble playing a high lline.

Personally, I don't see Taylor as a particularly strong or dominant aerial defender.

 

Wouldn't have him over Yanga-Mbeezy just because he's taller.

 

I would have more faith in Yanga-Mbiwa eventually adjusting and finding a way to deal with the more physical forwards. Even if it means dropping off, and dealing with the flick ons or whatever.

MYM may be smaller but he is a lot more athletic than Taylor as well as quicker. I have faith long term he will be much better. Taylor is a decent defender, he plays up to much at times though and isn't a colo or MYM type in nicking the ball away from attackers.

Taylor is physical enough when he can get tight to a player, but more often than not he's nowhere near the opponent and is either looking over his shoulder and pointing to someone else to mark players or back pedalling furiously towards the goal line for one of his spectacular clearances/handballs on the line. In the game Mbiwa got outmuscled by Danny Graham you would have expected Talor to have taken care of the big man if he was such a powerhouse defender.
