Shoreham Street - Til Death Us Do Part
The title of the thread is pretty self explanatory really. I think at this point we have seen enough of Lyle Taylor to cast a verdict on the lad, who we blame for his lack of goals for a supposed striker is down to you lot, we all have our own opinions.
- He's had plenty of pitch time.
- He hasn't hit the net as of yet for a so called striker.
- He got 29 last year, albeit in scotland but never the less proves he knows then the back.of the net is.
- He's playing up front with very little service as of yet.
What reasons do you have?
I personally think he does have enough about him to score goals at this level. I have seen enough of him to see what he is about but as of yet we haven't played to his "poacher" style of football. He's a modern day fox in the box / get under the defenders toes type of player but we haven't been delivering the ball in the right areas and he hasn't had the support he hasn't needed from attacking midfielders. He's been marked out of the game and as a sole striker hasn't had the time or space to make things happen every game.
That said he has missed a couple of notable sitters already this season. I am willing to put it down to nerves but seriously a professional striker should be putting efforts like that away and again another cliche but they should definitely be hitting the tagret!.
My opinion is that I still back the lad to make an impact. I still think he will deliver the goods and I still think he can hit double figures in league one however I think he need to adapt to his style of play. A lot of it is common sense and how we should be looking to play in this formation anyway. Personally however I still also think that having a knock down man alongside him or at least another player to link up with will bring the best out of Lyle Taylor as he's not the most physical of players and he needs a partner in crime to bring him into play and make him some time and space.
So forgive my long winded answer, I know I wobbled a bit but I still back the lad and blame the system.
