Sounds like he should do well at this level, thouhg that formation is far too Robinson to me.
Pretty sure Bowyer will stick with 2 strikers, whether that's 4-4-2, a diamond or 5-3-2/3-5-2. Could also see someone like Dawkins or Clarke playing slightly deeper in a 4-4-1-1, but that's really just a form of 4-4-2.

Tbf I've left out Magennis who would work well upfront still with Taylor I reckon
My manager and uncle are both massive Derby fans, I will ask my uncle about him but my manager reckons he is very good on the ball and better in the middle rather than on the wing. Says a lot of Derby fans moaned about him but he felt he was a scapegoat. Reckons in league1 it's a top signing
Middle as in a striker or as an attacking midfielder?
Just spoke to my uncle, he reckons he plays just off the strikers, got a brilliant touch and holds onto the ball very well. Says he is crap at tracking back though.
That's pretty the same view from two people now, both know their stuff so if we get him sounds quite promising.
As a first 11 it is very decent for this division, but as has been the case every season under RD it is whats behind the first 11 that causes our failures. Such a lack of squad depth.
Very true.
Dijksteel, Sarr, Ajose, Grant, Magennis and Marshall are our only senior back up players until Reeves, Clarke and Igor return from injury.
Magennis has shown he’s at least a 10 goal a season striker at this level. Much of that has been up front on his own which doesn’t suit him. Taylor should take the pressure off him, sounds like he’s more physical and can hold up the ball a bit. Ajose doesn’t offer that at all so it was always down to Magennis when they played together.

Ajose has shown that he is shite. Never let him near our starting eleven again.
Clarke and Reeves played alot wide and drift inside. Forrester I've seen a fair bit for Brentford including both cup games vs Chelsea. He is skilful but lightweight, doesn't tackle and easily knocked off the ball. One of those players that would be decent in Champ but ineffective in L1.
Interestingly with Hary Forrester, every league goal he assisted last season for Wimbledon, Taylor was the goal scorer. And even more interesting is that the three goals he did score, two were assisted by Taylor.
This means that out of the 8 goals Forrester directly was involved in, 7 of them were also directly involved in with Taylor. Or to put another way, he assisted 5 of Taylor’s 18 league goals last season, 28%.
Why does the press not ask obvious questions like what happened to the player who was due to come in on trial on monday?we are all going through the mill with the takeover thing at least keep us updated on transfer matters

They did in Bowyers post match interview after the Dulwich Hamlet game. it was Prattley
No he said 1 was given another 48 hours to decide to sign and would decide by monday and 1 was coming in on trial on monday prattley was never gonna come in on trial as he signed
“Do we need to strengthen in certain areas? For sure. We need to strengthen in midfield. We need to bring in a horrible midfielder, to win the ball and give it to ones who can play.
“We’re waiting on an answer [from one]. They asked for 48 hours, we gave them 48 hours and they’ve said can we stretch it another 48 – and that changed yesterday.
“We’ll know by Monday if that fella is coming in.”
This (from page 49) was the only thing Bowyer said last week re: midfield and never mentioned a trialist specifically. It was on page 50 that people started guessing trialists that don't exist.
The club can save costs when setting up any interview simply by writing 'It is what it is' on a piece of discarded packaging cardboard and placing it on a chair for journalists and others to look at.

I'm sure elsewhere he mentioned the trialist and said something about fans probably knowing on Tuesday. Unless he just meant Pratley, as that was the day he signed?

Seems they work quite well together.
Exactly what happened with Poyet!
Oh well - it’s better than nothing whilst we are PATIENT for the real rumours to arrive
