Wonder if there was a bit of caution offered from the Wimbledon player (Wagstaff?) - Its not often you see an ex-Player doing that to the opposition fans at the end of the game and when they do its not usually met with a warm reactionBigRedEvil said:Looked like Taylor was waving away one of the Wimbledon players at the final whistle. Whats happened there?

Think this is a really important point for our (relative) success this season on a shoestring budget. Everyone they have signed has added depth and strength to the squad from what I can tell, which when you've got a grand total of about 50p for new players is impressive.ForeverAddickted said:To be honest I had the same concerns as seemed he'd only ever made an impact @ AFC Wimbledon compared to his other clubs as was a bit of a Magennis / Ajose in that respect
Certainly remember the AFC Wimbledon game at the Valley last year where he was completely anonymous yet since joining Charlton it seems as though Bowyer and Grant have gotten the best out of him; i.e. at the start of the season I felt that Bowyer and Gallen had gotten just the one signing wrong (Steer) yet my view has changed on that now and really hopeful they can add to the squad next month as both really do have an eye for a player2 -

Didn’t realise Fosu is out of contract too.
It’s been said so many times but please sell up and sod off and let someone in who can start salavaging this club and running it professionally.0 -
Don't like the guy. After Saturday, my wife has decided that she'd also like to give her heart to him this Christmas (As sung in the song). And he can talk as well! She had a mini orgasm when he used the word "reticent".9

Gary Linekers toe injections never seemed to do him much harm....0

Last Christmas, I gave Ricky my heart.
The very next day, we sold him away.
This year, to save me from tears,
I'll give it to Lyle Taylor4 -

First player of ours I’ve ever followed on social media. Just comes across as a thoroughly decent bloke, and one who genuinely appreciates us as fans1

So many of our goals this season have been off balls played across the face of the goal then KG or LT putting them away, wonder how much time we must have dedicated to it in training as its really sharp. Aribo's goal against Blackpool the other week is another example on top of this vidpaulie8290 said:0 -
That's why it was so frustrating with Ajose against Wimbledon. He kept cutting inside; pretty much the first time he stuck one across the six yard box, we scored..LonelyNorthernAddick said:

To be fair, it wasn’t just Ajose but each time Fosu got the ball he played it inside or cut inside. I don’t remember him beating his man and playing in a decent ball across the face of goal.CatAddick said:

I thought our crossing has been pretty poor in general this season which is frustrating when you see that Lyle Taylor is one of the few that can actually produce a neat delivery - thankfully Karlan's heading appears to be improving (Bowyer certainly seemed surprised when he scored with his head in the Soccer AM challene) so has been putting those chances away but we also need the threat of Taylor in the box and not out on the flanks!!Sage said:

Our corners were especially poor until Cullen signed yet then he sits in front of the Defence so unless he's taking a set piece he's not going to be out in the wide areas to put in that type of delivery0 -
Agree (and in fact I nearly added him to my post first time round), difference was that finally Nicky tried something different. IMHO this has been the worst aspect of Fosu's play this year - he's so predictable even I would have a decent chance of dispossessing him once in a while.Sage said:

First time I have listened to Taylor speak and didn’t realise how intelligent and articulate he comes across on camera. Seems a thoroughly decent guy when all is said and done2

Sad I know, but I just got really excited when Lyle just liked a tweet of mine haha6

Dm’d him earlier on instagram and he replied. Had a convo with him, lovely bloke and he made my Christmas with thatpaulie8290 said:Sad I know, but I just got really excited when Lyle just liked a tweet of mine haha

This. During a break in play yesterday he looked up at the north upper as we were singing his name and just had the most genuine grin on his face.Croydon said:First player of ours I’ve ever followed on social media.

Can someone who sees him play regularly, unfortunately not me, tell me about his regular bookings. Does he commit silly, frustrating fouls or is he so intent on winning, he chases the ball to win. Most of his yellow cards seems to be fouls committed in the opposition half. Only another 2 yellows and he gets banned for 2 games0

Hes a fucking nuisance in the style of Bellamy or Dickov, constant in refs earhole, cheating, pulling, biting, pinching, diving, winding up defendersross1 said:Can someone who sees him play regularly, unfortunately not me, tell me about his regular bookings.

He is a proper niggly player, he is always all over the opposition. Holding, pushing, backing in. A proper handful in fact.
Not a big surprise he gets so many yellows but you wouldn’t want him to take this element of his game out as it’s how he gets a lot of his space.3 -
He spends a lot of each match wrestling with his marker.ross1 said:Can someone who sees him play regularly, unfortunately not me, tell me about his regular bookings.

Occasionally he flies in recklessly.
He kicked the ball deliberately, after the whistle had been blown.
He's often arguing with the ref.
Most of his yellows are unnecessary.1 -
Take that out of him and he's half the player, guarantee this.Covered End said:

Regarding some of the fouls against Taylor and some of his bookings, I think it’s a case of him being frustrated. The treatment he gets every single game is crazy, I mean he is constantly being fouled and pulled by the defender and often if the striker goes down, the referee is more likely to wave play on than if it was the other way around.
I think some of his bookings this season have been a bit unnecessary, but there have definitely been some as well where he is a victim of how the game has gone where he would get booked for less than what the defender does to him. You’ll often find Lyle express his dismay towards the officials because of this, and they don’t like that, so they’ll pick on him more.
No way I would change how he plays though, I do agree that it would take part of his game away. The bonus too is opposition teams focus so much on stopping Taylor as best as they can, that it leaves space for Grant to use his pace to get in behind.
He’ll likely miss a couple of games through suspension with his bookings, but he is one hell of a player for us, and in this division.7 -
Best player since Kermogant - enjoy watching him play. Great signing.6

Think he's very similar style to Kermogant in that he's the kinda you love to have, but the kind you hate to play against. Always in the opposition defenders face, constant hassling and grit which makes the CBs job that harder to do for a full 90 minutes. Agree with above, he may get a number of yellows but if you took out that part of him he'd be half as effective.hoof_it_up_to_benty said:Best player since Kermogant - enjoy watching him play.
