Re: Taylor
Well that 4 games not being in the squad alongside the full previous season not playing him at left back gave a pretty good indication, along with twice not playing him for an inferior player during this season. If we put 2+2 together the answer seems to be quite clear. A full season as 2nd choice ...

He's been a decent enough performer for us.
But I don't think he completely fits VK's idea of a fullback.
