The Original OTIB Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 Might an alternative interpretation of the transfer activity to date be indicative of being partly pragmatic but, equally, partly evolving tactical strategy? Our sometimes labored build up and possession for possession's sake last season often did us no favours. Watkins offers shorter, quicker passing centrally, and a front foot instinct, Webster longer, accurate passing from the back. Hopefully this will mean quicker balls into space, on to which Taylor (and maybe Paterson centrally) and hopefully one other, nippy forward can run. I'm sure Diony would have appreciated the same. I for one would welcome this change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 I hope Matty proves himself this season. If not, it may be time for him to move on. We shall see. However, we do need to feed him before judging him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniper Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 I like Matty and hope he's not part of the Marriot deal if indeed it happens. I know some people don't rate him, but a fit Taylor with the right service could play a big part this coming season. If he doesn't cut it, then as some say time to move him on, but I'd like to see what he can do first when fit. The other thing that I like is every goal he scores or sets up is like a dagger through the heart of the SAGS which makes me very happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original OTIB Posted June 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 The principle remains the same... a possible tweak to our system, which would be much more exciting to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe jordans teeth Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 You would hope the club are not hoping Taylor will step up or duric will be able to stay fit because that is a hell of a risk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 Taylor wasn't 100% fit at any stage last season, eventually having to go under the knife. Hopefully he'll have fully recovered and be raring to go come August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Colby-Tit Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 I like Taylor , always buzzin in the face of opposition defenders, and can be a right irritation. He's not a snake, he's The Wasp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 I’ve got big hopes for MT to do well this season. He’s only just got back to full fitness. With a full pre season behind him, I think we might be have a very useful player on our hands with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 I want Taylor to do well. I want all of our players to do well. But something makes me hope he scores 30 by Christmas and then we sell him for a fee that would by a sizeable plot of land in Filton, and build a structure that could see thousands locked out. Not sure why I keep having these thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two looked a really good pairing.....see next. 3 hours ago, Robbored said: Taylor wasn't 100% fit at any stage last season, eventually having to go under the knife.

In some ways, Diedhiou’s injury ought to give him a real chance to stake his claim, but I think it might be Diedhiou who gets the best out of him.

Simon79 Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Wasn’t fully fit at any point last season. A fully fit Taylor I believe would be a valuable squad player at least.

You Do The Dziekanowski Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 He always seemed sharp last season but not quite fully fit to play more than 45 mins. I strong pre season and hopefully he can kick on for the new season as well. He looked very good partnering Diedhou and wouldn’t be too disappointed with him and Pato playing up top to start next season during Diedhous ban Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
