Reading back a couple of pages - terrible signing, the new Alan Hutton etc etc. Now - Good signing, nice to have a left back who can defend etc etc. Absolute classic Villa Talk. I thought he has been OK all round. Nothing more. Pretty much as expected. Agree - also, he seems very good at blocking crosses. As in, when a winger is trying to get past him and get a cross in, Taylor seems to block an impressive number of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mikeyp102 Posted March 11, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2017 He's a good solid fullback. Makes it hard for opponent, reads the game pretty well and can break forward. Probably the most consistent lb we've had for years. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sir_gary_cahill Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 He's a Premier League standard defender in my opinion 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Got to be honest I judged him way too quickly. Wasn't really pleased with the signing at the time and then I wasn't impressed with his debut so I just thought he was crap. He's definitely proved me wrong though, has been very reliable in recent weeks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Just like the Adomah swap, we have mugged off Swansea by swapping Taylor for Ayew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I thought he was fairly decent from the start and was a bit surprised to see so many people writing him off. He looks comfortable at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Good signing for us at this stage in the championship. I was against the transfer but he has been good; not sure going forward when we eventually get promoted whether he would still cut it at the top level but I don't really care too much about that now as it's a while off.

sidcow Posted March 11, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted March 11, 2017 I have barely noticed him in most games to be fair which is good as it means no one is skinning him, he's not putting in a ton of awful crosses and he's not giving the ball away unnecessarily frequently.

Popular Post Xela Posted March 19, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 19, 2017 No comments on Taylor? I take that as a good sign! Solid and dependable. Something we have lacked at left back for a long time! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a lot of time for this guy......a bit of an unsung hero. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to the RDM signings he has had a far higher hit rate I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
