We cannot play 4-2-3-1 with Taylor upfront because he is rarely there.
Well spotted HG. I wonder at times if our fans watch the games. Taylor is a wide man and a striker. That what it said on the tin when we signed him and that's how we get the best out of him. We need to bring two strikers in to replace Ajosie and Igor. Big question mark if Oztumer signed as we don't know if he is a championship player. JFC also had to prove he can play in the Championship.

Isn’t Taylor moving wide is partly down to our formation and what Bowyer wants from him?We don’t have wingers so our width comes from our full backs supported by either a midfielder or striker drifting out wide.
If Bowyer needed Taylor to stay more central and high up the pitch m I’m sure he could adapt, though it wouldn’t necessarily get the best out of him.
Same height as Insigne of Napoli, is he a similar player?
Oztumer is all action, effort and is always buzzing around. He gets in the box and can finish (even headers).
He's also good with dead balls.
Would be nice to have a corner taker that can consistently get it into a dangerous area
Highest scorers from corners in league one last year, so I'd suggest that's not one of our major concerns
Surprised at that and probably shows more how bad the rest of the league are at crossing and defending crosses rather than how good we are imo. Be amazed if we are anywhere near the top of the charts for that next season, especially with Cullen gone
Personally thought Cullen was the best set piece taker we’ve had for quite a while. Also, we demonstrated a wide range of “training ground” set piece routines. We’re a big side too. I’m not at all surprised to hear we were one of the best scorers from set pieces.
And Reeves (arguably better corner taken imo) and neither will he be here.
Good point. Forster-Caskey took all our corners and attacking free kicks in the season before last - and they became predictable, when not misplaced. With Cullen the accuracy of our corners improved markedly. We don't want to regress on that front. Remember Danny Green, and his corners that would sail straight out of play!
My god. Josh Parker does score the occasional goal. I noticed Tom Eave does like scoring against is regularly when at Gillingham. Thank god he was injured when they played against us at the Valley.

Beilik was also good with dead balls.
Lord knows, plenty of times he got kicked in the goolies.

Notice he is a scouser so can't see any northern teams in the Championship who may want him as they would have better players already.

Yes they will have a contract, but it's surely rendered worthless by the non-payment of wages?
