I like Terry Taylor but some of the comments on Twitter are frankly a bit much. You’d think we had loaned Northampton a prime Luka Modric.
I remember someone tweeting that Bakinson was 'mustard' after a couple of appearances last season. I do genuinely think that our expectations have been so lowered and eroded over the years, that we've forgotten what really good looks like and have been overly accommodating to what largely, have been a very mediocre bunch of players.
Seems to be getting worse every season as well
Isn't Bakinson playing fairly regularly in a promotion chasing team? Just saying...
He is. Is he ‘mustard’ - no.
Are most of the players we’ve had over the last few years have been poor or at most average, a few exceptions of course. I do feel that this has impacted some people’s views on what good looks like

My point is that teams are usually more than the sum of the parts. We've had players in squads that got promoted before now, that were nowhere near "mustard"

Standards have slipped, I don't think there can be any debate about that. Some players have proved they weren't even good enough for L1, let alone a L1 promotion push.
We didn’t win any of the games he started this season. Have seen some say he’s our best midfielder which is just mental
Correlation isn't necessarily causation. Those results were far more attributable to the tactical approach we were adopting than the individuals being selected to execute those tactics.

But maybe some of those tactical decisions were made to fit TT & CC in the same team

I think it's a bit of both. Taylor is comfortable on the ball, took dangerous set pieces and has a good range of passing, but I think the issue is he's not energetic and aggressive enough for what Jones wants in that DM role. Coventry's passing isn't as ambitious as I'd like it to be, but he gets stuck in more than Taylor and is busier in how he gets around the pitch with tackles and interceptions.

Nothing against TT but anyone doubting CC….he is has been probably our most consistent performer this season.

What? Booting the ball over their heads constantly? I don't think so.
Can't see it being Kata , doesn't fit the profile of what we really need. Would be interesting if we did start shopping in the European market but I expect this mystery midfielder to be a domestic based player.
Hopefully it's a permanent of someone we can build around long term.
I am completely mystified by those on here who keep on saying we should be getting another keeper NJ has woken up to the fact that AMB is better than both Isted ( completely useless) and now Mannion The only weakness in his game is distribution but as a keeper who saves goals he is very good. So long as the defence in front of him remains solid he is a perfectly good keeper at this level and I would argue / Championship too - if we ever get there !!!!

He basically never comes for crosses. His shot stopping is brilliant but he needs to start to command his area. If he was a good keeper for the Championship we would have been fighting off interest in him

AMB is not good enough at this level and is certainly nowhere near the level required to play in the championship.

He's also in the national team with some pretty big names so he's rubbing shoulders with some real talent.
IF he is the one we are looking at he'd be welcome IMO
Going on what Jones said about attacking signings, I'd be surprised if we bring in Kata or a similar type of player this window.
Hopefully it's a permanent of someone we can build around long term.
They went ages ago, maybe if we all had a look, we could find 'em again...🙄
