But we still have something to play for, it's not a dead rubber, he must play his strongest team when he can just in case we can put a small run together.fidelcastro wrote: ↑Sat Mar 30, 2024 2:21 pmPerhaps the soon to be out of contract players are going to see less game time between now and the end of the season (Taylor is one of those).
I don't agree with dropping him, but it could be another possible reason why.

Re: Clarets vs Chelsea Match Thread
Afternoon all from a bright and windy Galway .
After last night anything is possible today i think we can win this . Now last night Galway United won in Derry for the first time in i don't know how long . The lads who travelled were so well treated by the locals and evryone had a ball .
One for Derry , The George pub was something else for the pics i saw last night .

Re: Clarets vs Chelsea Match Thread
Apparently Taylor has a toe issue according to some on social media, so that's why he isn't starting. Not sure of the truth for that, but lets not call for VK's head before kick off.

For all we know Taylor might not be fully fit. If it's purely tactical it's strange.

He may already have one eye on next season.
I stress again though, I think Taylor should be starting.
Re: Clarets vs Chelsea Match Thread
Further forward, yes. But as a full-back, he’s absolutely gash.

Well i was worried Trafford would be straight back in after the international break so that's something. Foster good. The other changes baffling when, whisper it quietly, we looked a bit less awful in the last 2 games.
The sun's shining though, I'm off for a nice walk whilst we have it....

Re: Clarets vs Chelsea Match Thread
Brighton away he got out jumped for their equaliser by a midget
West Ham home both late goals came from his side
Villa away poor
The Brentford home game, guess which side the goal came from?

Re: Clarets vs Chelsea Match Thread
So the player on that side of the pitch where the goal originates from is always to blame?
I don't think it's quite that simple.

Not always but yes if it’s a common theme, the left back has to take responsibility in stopping the crosses.fidelcastro wrote: ↑Sat Mar 30, 2024 2:35 pmSo the player on that side of the pitch where the goal originates from is always to blame?

Re: Clarets vs Chelsea Match Thread
You could pick weaknesses and errors in most of our players this season. Taylor has been one of our better players. You've been slagging others off this season for criticising but you call Taylor 'tripe'. Hypocrite.

Re: Clarets vs Chelsea Match Thread
Does Vitinho do that then?
Taylor is far from perfect, but he's still the best LB at the club.

Re: Clarets vs Chelsea Match Thread
Question 1: do you think Vitinho is a better left back?
Question 2: do you think Odobert providing zero defensive cover helps or hinders the duties of whoever is at left back?
You're not arguing from a positive position about this team selection, you're being contrarian to snipe at other posters, all too common from you now.
Re: Clarets vs Chelsea Match Thread
At least Tresor is back on the bench if we need a game changer
Re: Clarets vs Chelsea Match Thread
I'm not Taylor's biggest fan - at this level, under this manager - but any argument that he's not currently the best left back at the club is close to bonkers. Shuddering at the thought of Vitinho playing there today.

It doesn't always work like that. He may have recovered during the week, too late to work on specifics.

Re: Clarets vs Chelsea Match Thread
Taylor has been superb this season at times and very much deserved of his place.
However he has been caught out so many times and he has looked knackered at times and his lack of pace has really been his downfall.

Re: Clarets vs Chelsea Match Thread
To say dropping Taylor for Vitinho is a bizarre tactical decision would be a huge understatement, Taylor is miles away a better defender than Vit and has been one of our best players , and against a side like Chelsea .Maybe CT has a knock ? Which would explain it easily enough though
Re: Clarets vs Chelsea Match Thread

Why play next seasons team whilst we are still in with a very real chance of survival?
Mind blown every Saturday at 2pm team announcements.

Re: Clarets vs Chelsea Match Thread
Not sure iv ever slagged off other posters for criticising players who have been here for a while, we’ve had more than enough time to cast judgement on the likes of Taylor, Brownhill, Gudmundsson, Rodriguez, Roberts.

https://youtu.be/7Hosa5xQfrA?si=HPqn2I6qK1KOVgs2&t=42 - case in point. Can't get back quickly enough - miles off the pace when countered.
Love Taylor as a player but it has been noticeable this season at times that his pace is what lets him down at times .
Re: Clarets vs Chelsea Match Thread
Looks another ticket cock up. One block empty in lower tier in the away end despite club saying we’d sold out.

Another example of it being fine and justified if KRBFC slags players off but nobody else can.
