Good lad Matt Taylor ... will be able to pass a lot of knowledge on ... Good luck to him

[ClaretTony]

Really good bloke, I think he’ll do really well as a coach. A bit surprised to see him get in at such a big club though.

[elwaclaret]

Really pleased, its a good club. All the best to you Matty.

Good news about Taylor.

Also good to see at the end there that Mason has moved into coaching after that early retirement due to the skull fracture.

That’s been done properly too. They’ve had him in part time so both club and Mason could see whether it would be the right thing to do.

Always remember Him stepping up to take/and Miss that vital penalty against Leicester over anuther.ATB to Him.

When the player who should have been taking it bottled it

Who would have normally taken it?

[Transpennine]

Who would have normally taken it?

Ings...?

[ClaretTony]

Who would have normally taken it?

Yep, should have been Ings but he didn’t want to take it. Taylor had a good penalty record though.

[groove]

Ings...?

I always presumed MT had insisted on taking it, not that our usual penalty taker had bottled it.

Give over.

Ings took 1 penalty all season, which he took to complete a hat trick.

Our penalty taker (Vokes) went off injured in that Leicester match. He took a penalty in each of the 2 games before the Leicester game.

So that statement is rubbish.

Wrong season. We only got three all season. First was at Palace that Arfield took when Ings had gone off injured. Ings took the next one to get a draw against Villa and the next one was against Leicester which he did not want to take.

So before you start rubbishing it, and it is fact, I’d get the right game. Ings didn’t even play in the game you refer to and Taylor wasn’t a Burnley player.

So if there’s anything that’s rubbish I’d take a look at your own post.


And for completion, Ings took two pens in the season you refer to. He scored one in a 2-0 win against QPR and missed one against Millwall but it was not for a hat trick, he missed the pen before he scored his two goals.

Fair play to him. It takes some effort to get so much wrong in one post

It's a case of "what if".....and there are so many "what ifs".
The reality is that we were already close to being dead and buried by the Leicester game. Taylor had been injured most of that season with him coming back to fitness just prior to that game.
But, "what if" he had been fit for the entire season? He showed sufficient skill and command in midfield and a goal scoring touch to suggest his season long presence would have resulted in continued Premiership football.....sadly it wasn't meant to be.

Could have been a very good player for us.
