Agreed, we had a number of late corners and set pieces which he took. I'd like to see the number of chances he created from open play, which would be a far better comparison.Covered_End_Lad said:
The issue with those stats are they are heavily weighted in favour of players who take set pieces, every cross from a corner or FK is considered a chance created.Callumcafc said:For comparison’s sake, against the rest of the team
(Wildig led chances created for Newport with 3)

Sort of the forgotten man currently.
Long contract with us.
I don't know enough to have an opinion, but he hasn't exploded onto the scene that's for sure.0 -
There could be a problem with signing unfit players but we don't seem to have worked that out yet.2
-
Why is it taking so long to get him up to speed0
-
Like McGrandles he was injured when we signed him and was rushed back to a half baked team. I really hope fans show more patience than they did with McGrandles but I won’t hold my breath.7

Needs a loan imo19

Did players always take so long to get fit and did we always allow them the excuse of “didn’t have a pre season” ? I don’t remember it .0

Cambridge have already made a bid to take him on loan in January...BigRedEvil said:Needs a loan imo0 -

A goal of the next manager should be to build around players like Taylor. He is a good deep lying playmaker who can also break up play. Holden's refusal to play him on Saturday was baffling. But with the way Holden played, we bypassed the midfield a lot and didn't give Taylor a chance to run things.
My biggest question for Taylor is how he and Dobbo fit into the same midfield. I'm thinking it's as a double pivot in a 4-2-3-1.2 -
Taylor and Dobson played alongside each other against Vale and it didn't look like a promising partnership.0
-
It seemed to force Dobson to play more like Morgan last season, getting forward more and attempting more long and forward passes, rather than do what he's best at.SantaClaus said:Taylor and Dobson played alongside each other against Vale and it didn't wasn't a promising partnership.0 -

Perhaps Taylor played deep because he's not yet properly match fit, and Dobbo could be more mobile putting in the hard yards?SantaClaus said:Taylor and Dobson played alongside each other against Vale and it didn't look like a promising partnership.
Just because they are both capable of playing the same position, doesn't have to mean they are in competition with each other for the same role.
And as SDA suggested above, a new manager will have his own formation, systems and ideas how to perhaps accomodate both.1 -
I don't think I have ever seen Dobson play well for us in a double pivot.2

Trying to hold off judging him bit Taylor looked absolutely pony that daySantaClaus said:Taylor and Dobson played alongside each other against Vale and it didn't look like a promising partnership.1 -
Played in Asiimwe on the right hand side who should have a shot from 10-15 yards but tried to cross it instead if I remember right. A couple of dangerous corners into the six yard box that no-one attacked too.Croydon said:

I thought there was enough there IMO.
He’s going to have a difficult job forcing Dobson out of the side but never say never.2 -
I do think Taylor will be absolutely fine in the long term given he hasn't played since Feb, but I do wonder where he fits in as he looks to be another deep lying playmaker type, not sure if he can play higher up the pitch.0

I think at the moment Terry is the least of our problems.9

He's not a problem, but it's a waste having an excess of players in the same position, when there are glaring gaps elsewhereMendonca In Asdas said:I think at the moment Terry is the least of our problems.0 -
Good to finally have a proper alternative and competition for Dobson though.killerandflash said:

Fair, although from memory he did it at the start of the season under Adkins and has Clare next to him and Albie in front of him as the 10. That was also a time when we bypassed the midfield and lumped it up to Stockley up front on his own. Even back then I felt like he was the least of our worries, and he should have much, much better midfield partners this year with Taylor, Camara, and Fraser.Cafc43v3r said:I don't think I have ever seen Dobson play well for us in a double pivot.
We'll see. I think those are four good midfielders for this level, but as with many things with this squad I don't entirely know how it fits together.0 -
My overriding memory of Dobson in a double pivot is him getting caught out of position at MK Dons and them scoring a goal off of it.

If we sign a proper right back who can get up and down id like to see us play
----------------------AMB
*NEW* - Hector - Jones - Edun
-------------------Dobbo
---------Taylor ---------Camara
-------------------Fraser
----------Leaburn ---- May

I don’t think Fraser is best as a 10, he’d be on the left, Camara on the right with Chen Campbell as the 10 if we wanted to set the team up this wayCAFCsayer said:If we sign a proper right back who can get up and down id like to see us play

Dobson in a double pivot with a 10 in front has never really worked. But him and Fraser did do well in a 2 in a 4-4-2 for Garner for a run of games until Leaburn got injured and it all went wrong1
-
Taylor can be Dobson’s deputy this season, and fill in for Camara or Fraser in more advanced roles if they aren’t fit.Dobson might leave next year so that’s maybe where we’ve for once thought ahead and got our replacement in now so that he’s settled and ready to go next season0
-
Early days, but so far I can't say I've been overwhelmed with Terry Taylor. I can't work out what he's meant to bring to the team.2
-
No idea if he'll work out but you're right, it's early days - I'm not going to judge a guy after two starts.
Don't forget Dobson had a very.slow start.under Adkins, as an example.0
