"“I don’t want the limelight and I don’t need it." Yeah, right.
All I took away from that interview, we know Lyle has craved attention since he step foot in the door, don’t understand why he spends his time trying to convince people otherwise
He don't offend me, I'm a nobody to him but his big school comments are c***ish to the likes of Jackson and Bowyer who blew bubbles and grew his talent for two seasons.
"The manager supported my decision" Except Bowyer was pretty negatively vocal about the decision.
" ....sounds a lot like an injury to me - every other player would have done it in my position" What, like, Mr Glass Williams?
"I earned this, I deserve it, no one made me but me" Except coaching and advice from staff.
Doesn't keep himself fit for a job that's pretty reliant on.... being fit.
Just keeps repeating himself, "I was right" "everyone supported me", "don't care about the abuse/ negative publicity" just sounds like you're trying too hard to convince everyone, including yourself Lyle.
Bore off, you've got a new fan base to wind up on twitter now anyway.
Bloody hell, I knew what to expect but I'm still surprised at the amount of back-patting he managed to perform for himself in that interview. I don't think I've ever seen someone talk themselves up that much in an interview about a move, let alone when they've let their team down that badly leading up to it. It's a remarkable piece of work that. The only genuinely interesting thing to take away from that interview is that in the second article when he was talking about the quality players he played alongside he included Lewis Page and Ben Purrington. I always got the feeling he enjoyed playing alongside Purrington. Got the feeling they read each other quite well.
I think Taylor misses the point of why fans are angry and that is because Taylor you did not bloody when the team had a chance to save its Championship place.9
There is something odd about Lyle. A highly intelligent guy and an excellent footballer. But into his thirties, the highest club he has been with is us. And not us at our peak. There has to be a reason for that. Maybe we were the right club for him at the right time, but if that is the case, he has not really shown an appreciation of that.
Ultimately, playing football is what footballers do. Whilst there is always a chance of injury, it is minimal in a handful of games considering how many games a footballer will play in their careers. Even cricketers and F1 drivers play football and sometimes they get injuries. It is strange that a footballer doesn't play football when under contract to do so and seems extreme risk management that could ultimately damage his reputation more.
Highly intelligent - Why? I think you give him too much credit Self opinionated - certainly
Yeah i think he thinks he's more intelligent than he actually is. He's just surrounded by other footballers who aren't the brightest either. You can tell this by the nonsense anti vax shit he puts out.

NPD is a disorder.
Ah, the day.
When we have TS as an owner who gives our current and future players great contracts.
Then we beat forest 0-5 away. Taylor gets sent off.
It wasn't my fault Charlton got relegated.
It was down to off pitch issues.
I didn't think I had time to safely get fit as I sat on my arse for 10 weeks... Not bothering to keep myself fit in prep for the run in.
I remember him posting he doesn't do running so as you say @Dazzler21, not keeping fit was a self made decision.
Typical Taylor bollocks.

Wait
I'd be more interested to hear from the deathly silent Chris Solly about what his reasons for bailing on his team mates were.
Claims that playing so often could have seen him get injured - Yet funnily we didnt get one injury after the restart!!
Even my wife has said he needs to take some of the blame for relegation
He needs to realise its not that he didnt stay for the whole duration its the fact he didnt stay for THREE games, Sat - Sat - Tue!!!
