    He hurt me Telly... He hurt me!  😂 😂

    That sentence is perfect from a literacy perspective, there is even a Dylan reference in there.

    Magic Roundabout?
  • Fuck him no way, showed what he us about by pussying out of the end of the season. A rat of a man

    The Lyle vs Yann comparison isn't unfair at all

    Yann 32 goals in 96 games, with 12 in 39 in L1 and 20 in 57 at Championship level (including cups)

    Lyle 36 goals in 67 games, with 25 in 45 in L1 and 11 in 22 at Championship level (including cups)

    Of course goal stats aren't everything, but we shouldn't rewrite history either
    Lyle did get at least 12 penalties which of course can be missed but do distort the figures.
    Wasn't Yann a penalty taker? Or did JJ still have his legs back then?
    Don’t think he was too keen after (ahem) an incident at Leicester
    As immortalised in A Song for Yann on YouTube

    Anyone even mentioning yann and Taylor in the same sentence needs their head checked... That's not even remotely sentimental. Taylor was class but yann was the best we've had since bent. Imagine Yann and Darren Bent up top! 
    Just caught up with the thread and looks like I started the Yann debate. Of course Yann was the better player and I hadn't forgotten him when I said Taylor was the best striker since Bent. 

    To me striker means goalscorer. Yann was a target man, who scored the odd goal. Taylor was an out and out striker. BWP was a striker but not in Taylor class. 
  • Noticed today that he was getting a little bit of pelters on the socials. So thought I'd look at the Forest forum to see what the general consensus was. 

    Sounds like they are crying out for a striker, and don't see Lyle as that person. Indeed a lot of comments were in similar vain to this:

    'Taylor - Vintage Lyle performance. Came on, almost got into a full sprint, fell over trying to con a free kick and waved his hands around a bit. He's a better public speaker than a footballer.'

    Interesting to see why it is he has dropped from our talisman to Forests bit part player. Has he regressed to the mean, did Bowyer build the team around him and know how to get the best out of him, has he got his big money move and does not care anymore? 
    Shhh- don’t give Bowyer any credit on here !

    In all seriousness, we built a team around him and he was excellent for us .  Some players need to be the main man to really thrive - like Parker with us and West Ham.  
  • he’s behind Grabban and Murray and they play one up front , so he’s not getting much of a look in or chance to get any form, aaaah 
  • Got his money, doesn't care.

    I am pretty sure it is this and he’s openly come out and said as much before. He ‘worked hard so he could get his pay check’ No real interest in football past that.

    He has it now. No need to try anymore. Surprised Houghton has stuck with him this long. We saw him at his best.
  • Just had a look at how his stats. 4 goals in 31 games. They seem to have given up on him now as 20 minutes from the bench is around what he’s playing these days. 

    Always difficult to gauge an overall fans perspective on Twitter, but Forest fans after last night just can’t figure out why he’s changed. They said when he first got there he was hungry and always looking for the ball, now he spends most of time on the floor and has poor attitude.

    You absolutely love to see it 
  • He hasn't started a game since the 15th of December and they've since brought in Murray so I'd be surprised if he started another game this season

    I think there's a good chance of him being shipped out this summer and with that record as a 31 year old he'll struggle to find a championship club imo

    I wonder if Bowyer would take him back as part of the summer rebuild?
    I personally wouldn’t want him back but I wonder if Bowyer feels he was so important that he can overlook what happened.

    shipped out where though, who's gonna pay him what Forest are !
  • It happens in football. Sometimes you just click somewhere and go through a brief period of being brilliant, move on and find that you were just in a great moment rather than a great player. Danny Graham was a great example of this. Middling career when he was young, and a couple of decent seasons at Carlisle got him a move to Watford. He had one good, one brilliant season there before he got a move to the Premier League with Swansea, started alright and then went to pieces. It took him 5 years before he scored more than 10 goals in a season again after getting a grand total of 2 Premier League goals in 3 years after leaving Swansea. Lyle was the same; struggled to make an impact at the start of his career, decent at Wimbledon, excellent for us, collapse. I'm sure he's happy with his £20,000 a week until 2022. There will definitely be frustration that he isn't making an impact there but I doubt there's any regret on his part. He was always leaving the second Southall walked through the door and there's nothing that could change that.
    This is very true - from watching The Big Match Revisited, I noticed Alfie Conn who played for Spurs - very good player, but drifted away it seems and ended up with a career of only 233 league appearances (incl in the NASL) and 57 goals - Spurs fans called him the ‘King of White Hart Lane’ and from his play I have seen on the telly, should have had way more games and goals than he did

    I don’t know if injury blighted his career though, maybe that was the reason
  • I would take him back. In fact I would put my own ballbag on a hotplate to get out of this awful league. But without you know who in charge.

    I do hope he’s still enjoying “Big School”
