Dons_1988 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Hopefully Taylor never has to play. Bombscare even in his good games. Massive step backwards that he is back.Rubbish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bob Mahelp Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 There is an argument to be made that Taylor was part of the best side we've had under Mcinnes.....that of 2014/15 and 2015/16. I'm not necessarily making that argument, I'm just floating it out there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a different argument to bombscare every time he played well. I’ve no idea how he’s progressed/regressed since leaving but if Taylor from last time he was with us returns then he’s an absolutely fine squad player and decent signing who can contribute goals too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what happened last season. In 2018 he won POTY and Players POTY.Fans raved about him. We know what we’re getting. If it’s to boost the squad and replace Reynolds I’m very happy. If it’s a replacement for McKenna...time to worry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellAnderson Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I’m surprised at how happy I am with Taylor coming back. He’s a character, he’s enormous and he’s handsome! The heir to the throne has returned!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFCDannyFTH Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 One of the least inspiring signings that McInnes has and could have made. He was a bombscare in his first spell, made several mistakes that cost us goals and clearly unsettled the team when he played. He left us thinking he was a level above us and went on to be relegated from League One then nearly getting relegated from League two before having his contract cancelled due to form and attitude. 88% of surveyed Northampton fans said it was the right decision to terminate his contract. This post on a Northampton forum speaks volumes. http://www.smfserver.com/forums/thehotelend/index.php?topic=18417.0 The deal was finished a couple weeks back and they've obviously tried to lessen the blowback by announcing Hedges on the same day, but if this is the level of ambition we're going to show then we'd be as well call it a day. Really hope it doesn't have an affect on season ticket sales, there is a £600k difference between finishing second and fourth so we can't really afford to lose any fans. If McInnes doesn't get a few more bodies in before the Europa qualifiers, he/we could be in serious trouble before the season even starts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Can I just shock you? I like Ash Taylor. Despite what I just said earlier. At any one time, I have nine bottles of Ash Taylor in my house. Interesting fact. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewDon Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 It is correct to say that Taylor was a regular in probably the best team(s) we have had under McInnes, but not without acknowledging the degree of protection offered to the defence by the midfield and the set-up at that time - Jack was especially important in this, also often removing ball-playing pressure away from the centre-backs. I suspect if Taylor had been in our team last season, with Jack (and McLean, although to a lesser extent) gone and that protection significantly eroded, he would have really struggled. He's not as good as McKenna or Considine, and not as good as pre-injury Devlin. If he is just used as squad cover, it might not be too bad a signing in the grand scheme of things, even if it is very lazy; if he is used as a regular, and especially if McKenna goes, I fear it will. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logie skid boys Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Reaction from most fans i ken seem to think Taylor is decent back up and will be than capable stepping in if we get injury . i agree. his last season with us was his best apart fae his comical Pirlo attempt passes and his amazing cross field bullets. Cup final he had a great game . If Fraser get sold then i think Mckenna is def staying another year which is massive, the Taylor signing is only a downer if its to replace Mckenna. Same guy told me Hedges was signing has said we have more less agreed deal with quality midfileder . so like last time we wait and see. middle of the park is where we need the strong signings.. so far im well happy with the players extending contracts and the signings so far . 5 weeks on thursday first european game so expect some deals before then . season ticket renewed bring it on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Read on the Dundee forum that you lot are willing to let Scott Wright go for nothing, but would insist on a massive sell on %. I'd happily accept that. Do you guys think that's something that's a possibility? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it depends on how the transfer window plays out, particularly in the next few weeks he may be required for the European games if we can't get bodies in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant see us letting him go for nothing but could be good chance a loan for a season would be the deal that could happen. Regards Wright how was his performances ? if there was something in this maybe GMS is staying .. or we have an attacking midfielder ready come in. with Frank and Ethan Ross stepping up then maybe Wright is on his way .. still got couple years on contract i think 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other times he can just go hiding. Far too inconsistent, but that could be down to a lack of games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
