    Macauley wants to better himself so does us a favour by signing for QPR for £2 million and gets a nice signing on fee. What was wrong with that?
    Now has to eat humble pie as he made some silly comments but if he starts banging in goals it will soon be forgotten.

    6 months will mean he will leave it all out there trying to win a contract somewhere when this one is up

    Not necessarily - If Stockley leaves as rumoured, we'll still need one more Striker

    Fingers crossed. I can see goals from both of them.

    Hope he is fit and stays fit and is always available for consideration.

    I am fine with this.

    If someone said we were getting a striker who scored double figure goals in the championship and then league one in recent seasons - as well as a bag full at National League level previously - I couldn't see how that would not improve the squad.

    Of course, he said some rubbish on social media, as did those around him like his agent. But now he has until the end of this season to prove himself, and get the fans on board, and if he is crap, we can get rid and it is likely he will fade into obscurity.

    The big reservation is for many years we've had a group of players who don’t look committed to the shirt.
    Now we’ve re-signed one who was disrespectful at worst when he left/didn’t sign in the summer.
    I get some people having reservations.
    But this is life in League 1. Grim.

    I'd welcome Taylor back with open arms. He didn't have an issue with the fans or the club as such. There is only one person to blame for what happened and that's the snidey thief Southall.

    Give it a couple of months and some good perfomances/goals, and the mood against will no doubt change to " get him signed up on a proper contract"...really hope it all works out for everyone.

    Didn't he go on loan to Birmingham when Bows was their manager?

    I hope he does well and doesnt lose his head, his stats are pretty good and we can build over him in the Summer.

    Welcome back. Can't wait to see him miss a couple of sitters and eat jaffa cakes on the bench.

    Decent signing IMO. Agree with those who say we’re not going to get much better.

    Bloody hell we can only afford his wages till end of season. We are skint. 
    Where’s that been said ? Before he signed for us today he had no wages. I suspect a six month deal worked well for both us and him. We get a look see and he gets the chance to impress both us and others.

    We had all our resources ploughed into him as iour centre forward and he wouldn't play and as a result we were relegated - i get all the mitigating circumstances but that is all that matters - his choice and its very clear to me what he did - no way back.

    if we had signed him in the summer i'm pretty sure we would be a lot further up the table than we currently are - the bloke is mobile, isn't injury prone and has an eye for goal - other than leaburn, none of our other forwards tick all them boxes  
    Give it 5 minutes...

    Clean slate as far as I'm concerned. Just stick the ball in the net, when you come on as sub for Leaburn.

    Probably in the minority here but would have liked a 18 month contract.

    Decent signing for now. If he does well we give him a contract or look for better options in the summer.

    Southall had gone when he refused to play for us. He let the club and the fans down and I’d never want him back
