The South London Press understands Charlton were offered their former player Lyle Taylor, who left Nottingham Forest in the summer.

Ahh! so that's why he didn't sign Lingaard as someone else suggested we should..shirty5 said:The South London Press understands Charlton were offered their former player Lyle Taylor, who left Nottingham Forest in the summer.

Given the number of signings that this club has made in recent seasons (inc free agents and recently expired (contracts!) where the players are not fit then this is a change in thinking, maybe even a raising of standards. Well until the money gets tight. All fair points in the interview, let's see at the end of the season.
PS I won't be cheering if LT scores and sends Wycombe to the play-offs. Just a sigh and shake of the head0 -
I actually really like the way Appleton has handled that. The obvious choice would be to say we'd never re-sign Taylor for his previous actions and get some fan brownie points, but all that's going to do is stir up Taylor and create extra animosity. Ruling him out based on fitness and talking up our young players instead puts a more positive spin on it and stops Taylor becoming the story again, which he loves. I'm absolutely certain that when he comes to The Valley he'll get booed to oblivion and play his best game for Wycombe because that's how he operates. Don't need to add anything to that.17

Lyle Taylor baby is an Ex who left us when we needed him most. The feckless fucker just upped and left. We are still bitter and twisted as instead of staying in the detach house in Chislehurst, we are now in a bed sit in West Croydon and it's shite. The slippery slope followed and it's hard to get back up.
Instead of being a hero for ever and a day even if he had left at the end of the mini season. He is persona non Grata and the only mitigation was Matthew "my door is always open" Southall but 9 more games, just 9 more games and he was a free man to go to big school.
We may have only got a couple more points but it would've been enough just to see championship football.
We have to move on: hopefully from this bed sit in West Croydon to a semi in Sidcup where the nice people hang out.
The 12 X10 picture I had taken with Taylor is up the loft along with the blow up I had taken with Katrina Meire the day she wore the black leather skirt.
Life is all about being let down 🤷🏻♂️

Am I the only one who read that and at first thought Sam had a blow up doll that was made to look like Katrien in a leather skirt?16

He might not have needed to play all 9. If memory serves me correct there were 3 games played up until 30th June when contracts usually expire. He didn't play any of these 3 games from the restart. Just scoring in one of those 3 games could have given us the extra point we needed to stay up.soapboxsam said:Lyle Taylor baby is an Ex who left us when we needed him most.

He needed to play and score against Cardiff if I remember correctly we won the other two games 1-0.golfaddick said:

We'll never know what would have happened if he'd played for us then because he chose not to. Had he, who knows where his head would have been at. I do know that if Barnsley hadn't scored in injury time to get a shock result against Brentford, it wouldn't have mattered.7

He let us all down, that’s all there is to it. He could have had a legacy where he was remembered as one of our most exciting players of recent times. But no, he will always be remembered as someone who let us down.24

The missing name is Louise Clarke, middle at the back. The book was published in 2013. Sadly Louise had died the year before.golfaddick said:

Just seen Exeter vs Wycombe highlights, 1-0 to Exeter. Lyle Taylor provides a neat defence splitting pass that results in a penalty which is saved by Exeter goalie. He should have taken it.Just saying. It's not the end of the season yet.0

He has started 3 games and come off the bench in 6, so total 9 game involvements, playing 354 minutes total (games against the likes of AFC Wimbledon, Morecambe, Reading, Exeter, Orient, Vale, Shrews). He has no goals or assists.
Maybe his fitness comes back but he wasn't worth the bother so far. Tomorrow the window opens and if our owners and recruitment team bring in a JCH or Humphrys we will be much better off than having gone back to LT...
Had a look at the Wycombe forum... their fans view so far are below; they don't seem overly impressed:
"I'll give you my opinion on Lyle Taylor as a footballer if I ever see him play football."
"Dale and Lyle Taylor are both easily managed by big Centre Backs playing League One football. I.e. wrapping them tight, using the body and getting away with it."
"I’d take issue with Lyle Taylor - he has been pretty poor the whole time. Spends more time on his backside flailing his arms and crying like a banshee. His heading had been poor as well, not at it, a bit like Hanlan. He has really disappointed me"
"Lyle Taylor can do one. Cut the theatrics until you have at least delivered something, anything, a challenge, an attempt to win a ball. How he got past the character test is a mystery."
"Gawd, him and Lyle Taylor up front rolling about, waving their arms, shouting at officials and team-mates and shaking their heads after another failed run forward would certainly be a complete culture change at AP!🙂"
"I am not convinced Lyle Taylor has done enough to warrant a contract extension beyond the short term deal he is on."

He has been poor for them so far. Definitely not what we need or needed.

It's not the end of the season yet. Said that early on. Happy to eat humble pie, eaten plenty in my time. Definitely the qualities we need , just the issue if he's lost too much from sitting around at Nott F. Anyway he'll firing on all cylinders by the time the season ends.0

Wasn’t even on the bench on Monday, did his short term deal expire 31st December?0
