    Taylor has been brilliant for us , shame he couldn't finish his career at Charlton by helping us to try and stay in the Championship  .

    What we have to do is separate our loyalty to our team and the loyalty of players. The best you can get is a player that builds an affection to a side, like Chris Powell, but they will never love that side like we do. To them, they have a career and have to achieve the best they can in that career. If we expect more, we will ultimately be disapointed.

    99% of us would do exactly the same as Lyle's doing, were we in the same situation. It’s a profession after all. 
    Still gutted though. 
    Evidence for saying 99%?

    I wouldn't want to play him if he was more interested in avoiding injury. His game requires full commitment. Yes, fine him to recoup some wages by all means, but that is all we can do. We need to stay up using players committed to the cause. We need to forget about Taylor.

    No doubt we have all made career moves for personal gain in the past but in doing so would have seen out the existing contract before moving on. This is what Taylor should do and if he did play those 2 or 3 games until 30 June then more of us maybe more understanding.

    Lyle was always going to leave, I know I’m going to get pelters for this, but with all that’s going on in the world at the moment and having known 4 people taken, in just meh whatever, it’s not important in the scheme of things.

    Pre Covid I’d probably be spitting feathers, starting threads galore, and up in arms, I just feel lucky to still be around at the moment.

    Doing an ooh ah, yes we’ve probably got a 90% chance of being relegated without Lyle, of course I’d rather have him playing for us, but in really not surprised, or bothered as much as I used to be.

    Wembley May 2019, seems a long way away, even if I did miss Bauer’s goal by drinking too much in the green man!

    Don’t get too stressed out by this people, we’ve always been a selling club, players come and go, don’t get too attached to them, its their career and living, don’t give them abuse, we’re better than that.

    not stressed out by it - its football, can understand it but also have a view on it - its definitely put the nail in our coffin

    If only he stayed till the end of June and we could all moan about him not staying till the end of the season .

    I mean all this shit about loyalty , bullshit, they all do what suits them not us the wanky fans

    As disappointed as I am, I won't be condemning anyone for not playing. We know the club is in an absolute mess, but we don't know everything that's gone on being the scenes. If it was a well run club I'd feel a lot angrier about it but as we appear to have been overrun by a confederacy of crooks I can't blame anyone for cutting loose.

    So he’s still contracted till the 30th but won’t play between the 20th & 30th ? Surely he’ll be breaching his contract ?
    You can't force a player to play during a pandemic. 
    But that isn't his reason for not playing. I suppose he is being honest and could have lied and said he didn't want to play because of the risk of catching the virus

    Isn't the Hull game the next one? A 6-pointer if there ever was one. Even if he could just play that I'd be less angry, let alone until the end of his contract. So the season would have finished in May ordinarily and he was more than happy to be under contract (i.e. be paid) up until then end of June for a further month. Now there is the need to play in June he doesn't want to do the job he is actually paid for! Have been a fan of his, but am mightily pissed of by this.

    Doesnt he have the right to be training seeing we're his latest club?

    Only say that because Roger Johnson was allowed to train @ Sparrows Lane before he joined Bromley when out of contract

    No they wouldn't - not if they were in a 'profession' and being 'professional'.

    I'm sorry Bob but being in the profession of football I do think that 99% of us would do the same.
    I have to say that listening to the responses of so many "fans" over the last 12 hours has been like listening to the whining of a 14 year old boy just dumped by his first girlfriend. "But she told me that she loved me!!"

    I presume the agent has "Big moves" lined up despite the fact clubs will have less money to offer ?

    Does he fancy a crack at the Premier league maybe ..

    Or a top Championship club going for promotion in his mind.

    Otherwise it won't be much of a step up..

    It always seemed to me that the Montserrat stuff was just a glorified holiday whenever it came up. I’m sure he was proud to represent them but it does wind me up that he was prepared to risk getting injured for them but not for us when he is contracted to keep playing.

    I doubt that we could be forced to let him use the facilities if he has been released for breach of contract and as he is still our player we could just suspend him from the training ground for breach of contract.

    if he has downed tools he shouldn’t be allowed to travel in, mix with others and use the gym anyway, there is still a very real health threat out there.
