Oldham's Chris Taylor

[mhead bee]

Agree sign of the times where pros don't respect others.......I'm getting too old, I will be saying in the old days soon

A sign of the times..........a sign of the last century if you ask me.

Have you never seen a player dive or feign injury before, I have seen it going on since i first started watching football 35 years ago. OK, the foreigners have made it worse over here but it is hardly new.

Players like Taylor need to know where the line is and not to cross it, cause if he does then he'll get smashed, he crossed it and we didn't nothing to stop him, it was like the nazi's marching into the Rhineland, he did it without knowing how far he could have gone and he got lucky that much like Britain our constant threats were not enforced and he was able to roam freely around (just a little history lesson). He is not skilled, he is not a good player, there is nothing about him that screams sign me up, the only thing he is good at is mouthing off and being a little b!tch, he doesn't want to play football the only reason he is in a team is because their gaffer knows the ref isn't going to do anything to him, he's all talk, you smash him with a big tackle early on his mouth shuts, his head goes down and he as soon as he gets the ball he panics and tries to get rid of it, I agree we didn't lose because of him, but he was a key factor as to why the garden gnome we had for a ref was so appauling because he fell for his acting and let him get away with too much

When we lost 3-0 up at Boundary Park, when it should have been 10, Taylor was an outstanding youngster I thought would go on to much greater things.

If someone has the talent, then I can't understand why they resort to underhand tactics / behaviours. Just let your skills do your talking & let opposing fans "grudgingly" admire them from afar.

Agree. Mind you I was more than impressed with Oldham. Reminded me of the team we had under the Allen era, the team that went to places like S****horpe and won 3-1 at a canter after going a goal down on 4 mins (ironically).

Think Oldham will do well this year, could be a good bet for promotion.

They certainly did a job on us, that's for sure.

 

[Wise old Bee]

There have always been players like this so what's the problem? The antics of Taylor and pantomime villains like our old mate Fletcher of Bournemouth have always provided an added dimension to watching football. I can think of a few Brentford players of the past who would have sorted him out and it's a pity nobody took it upon themselves to do so on Saturday. Could you see the likes of Hurlock or Evans or even Talbot standing for it?

Was having this conversation on saturday, and on many previouis sturdays, our teams are light weight and we dont have the hard man necessary to "make a point" I think Spillane might be and can see him causing some serious grief along the way as he has "attitude".

Unfortunately our team is happy to allow whatever antics the opposition determine and perhaps the proof, if needed, of this is that here we are in mid October and neither of our regular midfielders have been booked I beleive. I would expect a midfielder at our level to pick up bookings on a fairly regular basis for mistimed tackles and the occassional rush of blood however it seems that Kev and Dave are too nice, As has been said where is Hurlock when you need him!!!!l

No chance

I thought Oldham were a good side who worked bloody hard and in the end deserved their win. I thought the first half was a cracking game where we were the better team - and unfortunate to have the two goals ruled out for offside. I can't say too much on those as I was 100 yards away. We were caught fast asleep at the start of the second half and then didn't have the guile or composure to chase the game.
Didn't rate Chris Taylor at all and thought he was a very annoying, cheating pr!ck - I tried to mention that to him Saturday. To be fair though he was all over the pitch and managed to wind up everybody - particularly Leggey (who's not the player he was last season).
For me the two quality players Oldham had were the big lad up front (No. 36) with a well iffy name that I've forgotten and Dale Stephens, their skipper, who I thought ran the show from centre-midfield.

I've said it for a long time, we lack a leader and strong characters on the pitch.

We do not get amongst teams, let them know early that we mean business and never have harrass or intimidate oppo players who need time and stroke the ball around.
I'm not looking to become a team of hard men or thugs but when we get whinging, ginger gits grabbing, holding and taking liberties there should be a queue of players taking turns to remind him not to...............

When we're playing badly and can't score, at worst we need to become a team that is hard to play against, our midfield offer the oppo time and space to control the ball, stroll forward and pick passes in the hope that we can collect the misplaced delivery.

For me, if they're a stand out minority they should be targeted for treatment, so the following included:

Silly yellow boots, midget, albino, spikey hair, dyed hair, long hair, overweight, underweight, ginger, double barrelled name, over 35, under 20, skilful, particularly poor, slow, fast, gobby, aggressive, premiership loanee, has been..............ok anybody who plays against us

I thought he was hopeless, not only did he miss the target, but he missed it by miles !!!

 

[Markybee]

No chance

Great. No chance = 1,000/1. £10 EW Sir?

 

[Markybee]

He did miss that by miles and is very raw. But he knocked KO out the way early like a lightweight and no one does that. He was a handful despite probably the finishing ability of Nathan Elder.

Thanks for the offer but I will leave it. On another day we could have scored 4, and we are poor at the moment. They were ok but I would imagine there will be a lot better than them over the season

 

[hairman]

his finishing was abysmal but the rest of what he did seemed to frighten the life out of our defenders - he was a proper beast

I'm with you on almost all of this. However, we'd have loved a 'Chris Taylor' playing for us on Saturday, although hopefully not a 'ginger'. Chris Hargreaves would've done.
