  • Those strikers he left behind again, more than enough?

    Hemed : 0 goals in 18 games and semi retired to NZ footy after the season

    Ocran : now in non league after failing to make a single league appearance in his career

    Davison : Now in L2 having failed in L1 this year.

    A Green : went on to make 13 games for Wednesday before disappearing to Slovakian football.

    Bonne : limited success with us that year. Failed at QPR and now back in L1 with Ipswich where he has 2 more goals than Conor Washington and has 1 goal in the last 5 months.

    Aneke : Injured. Did not play again that season

    I think that you're suffering a bit of memory loss. 
    Not sure but I believe that Aneke played in every game after the re-start.
    Bonne had such limited success that year that he scored 11 goals in 33 league games and signed for QPR for £2m shortly after the start of the following season when he had zero goals in three league games for us.
    Plus it's not just about the goalscorers is it, try looking at the rest of the squad and then tell me it wasn't good enough to have stayed up.
  • Couldn't agree less.
    Him talking about needing to feel loved now has nothing to do with cafc fans and all to do with his situation at Forest. Too many seem to think that the world revolves around SE7, it doesn't.
    He was contracted until 30 June, so could have affected one result. If he had got injured, possibly badly and was then out of contract, do you think that the clowns that were running the club at that time would have looked after him?
    Football contracts might have said 30 June, but what that means in SPIRIT is until after the end of the season, as that's how football contracts are written.

    No excuse for not being available for all the games after the 30th June as well. I'm sure 95% of out of contract players extended until the actual end of the season.

    In an ideal world I'd agree but it was far from ideal. No club player has ever been asked to play as late as 30 June, let alone the end of July

    There's no such thing as spirit in football just as there's no loyalty in football, from player to club or vice versa.

    Football is a business, end of.....except where fans are concerned, of course.
  • I don't think Lyle Taylor is a narcissist.

    Only people who know him personally could confirm or deny a potential personality disorder he may have.

    His public image is - he is an outspoken character and he speaks his mind. 
    It is rare for footballers to always be like that, so it stands out.

    Actions do always speak louder than words. 

    We thought we had a Charlton hero.

    Lyle showed his true colours when he betrayed Charlton. His lust for success and money, very much outweighed his loyalty and genuine care.

    It's unfortunate

  • Good player, shit bloke
    Not sure about this. No doubt he screwed us over but I remember him spending a lot of his free time on community work when he was with us. Not the behaviours of a shit bloke. Selfish when it comes to his career = sure.

    The bloke turned his back on the club you support and directly led to them being relegated. What more is there to look at? He's a prick.
    The angle to look at/consider is that he's a far better player than Washington and Stockley and I think better than any current L1 striker. If he came back he would help our chances of promotion.
    (Not that I think he will be returning to us).

    There are certain traits of his character that are not perfect. He's not alone there.
    As for being a prick, I prefer to look at the reason behind why Taylor was going to be leaving. Well run clubs try to tie down their most saleable assets. Under Roland and the various clowns that he sold to Charlton were far from well run. The considerable failings of Roland and Southall ensured that Taylor didn't sign a new contract, although I'm sure that he would have liked to.
    If anyone is a prick then I'd reserve that title for the two people that ensured that he wasn't staying the club.

    I don't care that he left, or that he didn't sign a new deal, I care that refused to play while still under contract. That is inexcusable, no matter how much of a circus the club was at the time.
    And those three games, for which he was still under contract, yielded seven points. Didn't really cost us much at all then.

    How many points did we go down by?

    And how many games did we play in July to obtain sufficient points to avoid that fate.
    If Taylor had played in the three June games we may not have achieved the seven points that we did.

    Spend five minutes reading his twitter posts and it becomes obvious he is a nob.

    Indeed it was because of this that the nature of his exit was so disappointing.

    He's very much a modern town centre pin up boy. Pretty boy who can talk the talk okay, but when it comes to anything that nears displaying morals, loyalty or integrity, they cannot do it. 

    Usually go missing as cannot cope with the lack of adulation then return when think they've sought some new love.

    If that is fact, then it’s the character of a ‘full on’ narcissist.
  • "Round and round we go"
  • So will he be in with the AFC Dons home fans tomorrow night cheering them on? Wouldn’t surprise me.
    He is there tonight. Absolutely no doubt who he’ll want to win

    To be fair, which is a bit painful I'd admit, the 3 points would be massively more important for AFC than for us. I'm sure that's how he'll justify it 
  • For heaven's sake, just stop talking about him.
    Bin the thread!
