At the time, I don’t think it was outrageous to suggest that Taylor was failing at his job and we looked doomed. Despite the budget, his recruitment still failed in many areas at the start of the season (Davey, Wright, Reynolds, Mullings, Donovan etc.)
However, ever since that Harrogate game and the signings of Manny, Wilkinson and Balanta, we’ve looked a different team. The past few months, his recruitment has been spot on. Me, like many others I know, are happy to be “eating our words” from earlier this season.
What has impressed me most about Taylor recently is despite changing our system whilst we were on a good run, results and performances have arguably improved. Even when we were winning in November and December, we were still giving away too many chances to the opposition. The re-introduction of a back 3/5 has stopped this problem to an extent.
I still think our main limitation as a team is not having enough control in the midfield, but hopefully we’ll see an improvement in that with the signing of Doug Loft today and Robinson being back fit.
