    No, it was a tactical substitution according to their manager’s post-match interview.

    If he was match fit I'd definitely have Tayo back until the end of the season.

    He'd give us what Neufville does on the right and has pace.

    Would definitely be interesting to play him and Neufville together.

    I'm not sure. From what I recall Tayo started really well but then seemed to stop attacking with the same swagger and playing safer. Reminds me of someone :unsure:

    Not sure if it was injury or a change in formation . They were poor before he went off and getting swamped. , I think they swapped to a back four as a result ?

    I don't think Palace would send him. We recruited Touray in the summer who had kept Tayo on the bench at Stockport in the first half of last season. They would not want to send him to be a back up.

    George. Abbott had his loan spell cut at Wycombe maybe good cover for Power if and I say if patto and Leigh are moving on

    He's 22 and is struggling to step above L2, I wouldn't be surprised if Palace just allow him to leave on a permanent deal really. He's so far away from being a Palace first teamer or even worth a big chunk of cash, they might as well cut their losses and see if the lad can get his career going elsewhere.

    Not surprised, he had a bad injury, then after recovering got re-injured on his first match back. Spurs might well keep him for the season.

    Yep, and get Dara Costelloe back just for the laughs.

    We look more comfortable with Touray, Tilt and Baldwin as our back three. Maybe that’s what we stick with. In which case, LWB is a slot we can upgrade and Tayo would be perfect. Just the sort we can develop. Nice lad and he loved his time here.

    wright and pennington are strong rotation options and we then don’t need to rely on Byrne and Kelly.

    Luke ONien is on his way out of Sunderland.

    went up with them from League 1, absolute character of a player and a warrior, would love him at City.

    Just saying, this isn’t a rumour. Well other than that he’s on his way out. Probably not a realistic option and will be in demand

    I'd prefer that back 3, but I think his ideal back 3 is Baldwin, Wright & Tilt. For me I'd have Tilt and Wright as the central options, Touray and McIntyre as the LCB options then Baldwin and Pennington at RCB options.

    One or both of Byrne and Kelly out the door and look for another LWB to come in, Tyreik isn't the option out there and Richards crumbles putting his boots on unfortunately.

    O'Nien will get a top end Championship club no problem, Hull or Middlesbrough perhaps?

    We had Greg Abbott and Peter Costello on our books at the same time in the 80's. I cannot recall whether they started a game together though

    If we are to cut our losses on Richards then Tayo as a replacement wouldnt be a bad replacement IMO. He has had 2 spells at L1 now and failed both but maybe GA could get a tune out of him - he has the tools to be a decent LWB. Id take him permament for a small fee but dont think a loan benefits us, Palace or Tayo. And only if Richards is shown the door...

    Im one of a few that prefers Touray at LCB. Like you say, we just look better with him there. Stats favour it too...

    They did
    Elland road
    Think Costello scored a screamer in a 3all draw
    Unless my mind is playing tricks in my old age

    I think his preferred line up is Pennington, Baldwin and Tilt.
