Most liked posts in thread: New signing finally confirmed ... Chris Taylor

Well he may as well play tomorrow.

 

Devine and Anderson are shit. Akpan is hit and miss at best. Palmer is injured and Reeves has been out for two years. But yeah, overstocked with midfielders. Some of them might be told to look elsewhere in January with a bit of luck.

 

Edited.

 

I get your point but if you're thinking he'll be much of an upgrade on devine or anderson I think you'll be disappointed.

 

I'm not a lover of what other teams fans think or say, you only have to see some of the comments on here , I take your point, but as I've posted so far Bowyer hasn't made a poor signing IMO this season ?.

 

Seem to remember him playing for millwall against us in playoffs semi other year. When fit better than anderson that's for sure.wauldnt listen to wat Bolton fans have to say very bitter bunch at min ha. Said the same about donaldson

 

So what don’t you get? You clearly don’t rate Devine or Anderson and until recently I don’t believe you rated Akpan either. So why not bring in someone else? You’d rather we kept Devine on the bench so you can continue to whinge about him?

 

Lonridge and Henley remind me of the players you get when playing Football Manager. You sign them up on a free during pre season as first choice, but once the season has got underway and you've bought some decent players in that position, you move them to the reserve team, and then forget you have them, until they remind you they are still with you by knocking on the door saying they have low morale

 

Sounds fair enough to me.

Don't see a negative to this signing - probably won't have much impact, but if he gets the chance I hope he seizes it.

 

If Bowyer thinks Taylor can do a job that will do for me. He hasn’t got much wrong this season. Taylor has had a decent career ruined by a few injuries in recent seasons. Looked poor in pre season but probably was far from being fit

 

I have only seen him in the second half v Liverpool and I thought he did OK then.

 

I can see why Bolton fans think he's garbage. Fans from other clubs expect more from their main striker than merely being able to hold the ball up. We on the other hand love non goalscoring forwards who put themselves about a bit, the fact that he's failing to do his main job is secondary to us.

 

I've always said our fans judge strikers on how many headers they win from long hoofs upfield rather than their goalscoring abilities. It was the same with doyle last year - what was everyone's main gripe? "Oh he doesn't win a header" despite scoring his fair share in a woeful team. Bizarre.

 

I'm assuming the majority of trialists looking to earn themselves a contract are judged on what they do in training and preseason games. How else are you supposed to assess them?

 

Welcome to City Chris Taylor, look forward to seeing you play

 

He also knew Anderson quite well, your reasoning doesn't hold weight.

 

We also have to deal with the fact Bowyer does not think Cooke is a long-term option due to finances.

See if Cooke leaves in January, and Taylor performs well, he could be an instant replacement.

One way or another, we need to accept that Cooke could be gone in January and if the planning for that has already begun, then fair play.

 

The only flaw in all that Jon - Is the fact it reminds me so much of our dilemma, last year - with Jack Payne !!
all our eggs in one basket ......... and it was only good for omelettes ..........

 

As I said in a post on the Port Vale match thread, either he is registered as a player with Barrow or he isn't. It shouldn't be difficult to tell us. I think it is pretty clear he is registered with Barrow and City overlooked it.
