    Agreed that he has to find a way in life going forward but in earning thousands of pounds a month for many years he wouldn't give his shirt to my mates little girl because it would cost him £50, whilst climbing into a Mercedes worth a fortune.

    Who was he playing for then ?
    As so many Charlton supporters have "mates" of other clubs I won't just assume it's Charlton.
    Cambridge, Colchester ?
    Since when did players from the EFL give shirts away ?
    They are told by their clubs not too.
    I remember Tony Watt doing it but quite rare.
    You could be asked dozens of times every game if you gave the shirt away. 46 × £50 =£2300 

    Seems mandatory in the Premier, where many are sold on eBay or similar sites.

    Lyle Benjamin Button Taylor left CAFC and went to big school before ending up back in the reception class in the infants.

    I know Lyle is hated by most Charlton fans for obvious reasons but I have heard many good deeds Taylor has done but pointless saying about them on CL where he is the devil.

    Seen the very brief highlights of the game after my post above.Got to say that his contribution in build up play was excellent and awareness of space in the penalty area ...that of seasoned pro with an instinct for goals.He does look like he carries abit more weight but still has movement
    So the question is would LT offer more to CAFC than Danny Hylton?
    The answer is as plain as the goals scored tally.

    Scoham- love that clip!
    As a player judged purely on ability obviously yes.

    But when you sign a player there are other factors that have to be considered.

    Agree.
    Taylor is the past and bridges have been burnt and there will be no phoenix rising from these ashes.
    No one has actually asked me if I even want to come back :D

    Do you want to come back Radostan 🤔😀
  • Also worth remembering that Hylton is there primarily as a coach. Watching him coach TC through his goal against Chelsea u21s was very good to see. If that had been Taylor instead of telling him what run to make he would have been pointing out all the nearest available emergency exits
    Or knowing Taylor he would of refused to play that Bristol Street Trophy game saying it is beneath him.

    Would never want that snake back under any circumstances. Also I know supporters of both Wycombe and Cambridge who both said he was a complete waste of space and unfit .
    He stills looks overweight and dont think for one minute he would do a job in league 1 as proven last season.

    On top of that Hylton was brought in mainly for coaching and a back up striker behind Leaburn , Godden, Yahyai and Chuks so don’t know how one can compare the two. 


  • The bit that he conveniently forgets is that some, from memory I think it was three, of the outstanding games, were played in June and the other six in July. His contract with Charlton ran until 30th June, and he was perfectly entitled not to extend it beyond that date. It was his refusal to play the three earlier ones that is inexcusable. He was still on the payroll and presumably accepted his June pay packet, but did nothing to earn it. For that, I will never forgive him. One goal in those three games, and we would have stayed up.
    There were plenty of other players throughout the game in the same situation who showed some loyalty in July - especially to make up for the miserable time we all experienced beforehand. He also forgets the long subsidised injury break the club provided him with after he went off to play in some irrelevant game for Montserrat.

    Should be in action tonight v arsenal u21s. Can't find scorer odds for him but expect he'll deliver, especially given recent form.
  • At the risk of repeating myself and being accused of being Lyle Taylor again, Taylor did what he did, he should of played the 4 games he was in contract for and then stopped playing. Fans would of been more understanding if he had, that all said he was a contributing factor to us getting relegated but IMHO I dont think he would of kept us up singlehandedly that season he was alright for us at championship but nothing special and had been injured aswell. I think losing Gallagher was the biggest loss as when he left we lacked creativity and drive in the midfield. 

    Would we have had a better chance with Taylor ? Yes but is it nailed on survival ? No. He did what he did, he burnt his bridges but im certainly not wasting any time or energy putting level of hate towards him. Its time to move on.

    We can’t, move, we want to, but it just hurts to much. It’s easy to say it, but just one goal could have meant we wouldn’t be where we are today. In another parallel universe where Lyle played, we could be in the Premier by now.

    I thinks it’s time us, and those who cannot get over the loss of May receive some support. A therapy group, where we can sit down and talk it through. A bring an end to the recurring thoughts we have about the goals “They would have scored”.

    Well done him. Bossing it at the bottom of L2 after failing at 2x L1 clubs last season.

    Yes -unfit for the short Wycombe stint
    Cambridge- started scoring but unluckily sent off for a 50/50 incident. I expect you'll mock me but then I bet you won't bother to watch it. Cambridge fans took against him for that. Irrational  (but due to the pressure of league position)
    Colchester- fitter and scoring, good build up play in a side that started the season on the poorer end of the scale. He does look like he's carrying abit more weight. But look at his last goal -sat the defender on his backside before scoring.Class.

    It comes down to this- if you want a rat catcher -why not get the best you can afford? 
    Still waiting to hear/see what Hylton offers.

    Gilbey does well in L2, as does Jack Payne, should we sign them as well...?

    Unused sub last night. Back in action Saturday at home to Bradford.

    Even if he does then there are better (younger) forwards that would offer more to CAFC than Lyle Taylor.

    Don't want him back as a coach, so for that reason Danny Hylton offers more (they are only a year apart age wise).

  • Taylor is for now a league 2 striker. He will never play at a higher level again. Only going lower from here on in. Maybe he can join that other waste  of space Bonne next season in the Conference.

    I'm sure he'll worry about that , being 34.

    Just to summarise:

    Lyle Taylor left the junior school of Charlton Athletic to go to the big Senior school of Nottingham Forest. Not straight away but without saying goodbye and leaving the school bereft as they had no replacement for him.
    32 goals in 63 games was exceptional and Lyle went from hero to zero and from Lyle Taylor baby to Lyle Taylor snake as well as Cuxx.

    He was hardly every picked for his Forest school team as other big boys like the mature boy with the long beard Grabban were ahead of him. 7 in 57 app over the 3 years.

    Lyle left the senior school to go a really bad Junior school in Birmingham with an old headmaster of Taylor's being there and he scored 5 in 14.

    From there Taylor went to Wycombe Infants but couldn't settle and 0 in 7 was the result in the exams.

    Cambridge next but not the university as no one would take that punt on him ! But the Infant school where he scored 3 in 14 in the exams.

    Next, on to the reception class in Colchester where young 34 year old Taylor has pulled his socks up and has 5 in 11 and received a gold star.

    To be continued when Lyle leaves to go back to nursery school...

    Taylor way better than Bonne at any point in time past , present and future. You are letting emotion cloud your judgement.
  • Also worth remembering that Hylton is there primarily because Jones owes him big time.  Watching him coach TC through his goal against Chelsea u21s was very good to see. If that had been Taylor instead of telling him what run to make he would have been pointing out all the nearest available emergency exits

    Don't be that hard on Charlton. You have to consider he had a 10 yr career before us, so really hard to look at us as the Junior School (if any team that fits that label it is AFC Wimbledon). Forest are the third team he has played for at lower league level team that went onto the Premier League, without him.* (probably says something about his ability/personality of the guy). Point being he was a decent Football League player (championship max). Could off been another Mendonca, for us, but decided to be big headed.
    *-Not sure you can count it if he didn't make the PL squad.

    Fair but the thought of Taylor never playing outside of League Two is quite funny.
