    Think he's actually good and people over react. Atleast his position has been upgraded by more than anyone could think. So that'll * the huns game plan of scoring via taylors side. Anyway, his hairs *. Boyzone pish.

    A defender who can’t defend and if pressed can’t go forward, hopefully his last few weeks here

    Nah he was pish, every single pass to Maeda was undercooked, bordering on intentional.

    What we do with Taylor will show just how ambitious we are moving forward as a club.

    How many times do we need to see him struggle in these games. Good vs St Johnston at home when we have 85% possession but.

    Absolutely shocking performance.

    Same issue as many. Plays *. Out the team. Comes back in. Performs well for a couple of games. Plays *. Repeat.

    He isn't bad but even as a backup there must be surely a LB in our price range that can defend better if Tierney gets injured?

    I feel like he's doing a Gouldson on us and people who laughed at the huns for going along with it should be against giving Taylor a new contract now.

    If anything we should be offering him less the more time he takes to decide.

    I would have signed him on as a backup but with the time he took, it's clear we are not his first choice so he should move on. He'll get all the best wishes from me!

    He's bad. Some of his passes and choices today were abysmal. Not even good enough for a back up.

    Drawing 1-1 with a defence of him, Ralston and Scales almost feels like a win. He can’t defend against anyone who isn’t utter pish. There’s this rhetoric that people don’t like him, it’s an utter smokescreen. Don’t know the guy but know he can’t defend.

    Still think after performances like today and Bayen that its * laughable that his biggest issue regarding signing a new deal is he doesn't want to be a back-up.

    Hes * pish amd should be counting his blessings that a combination of our pish poor recruitment department and tight fisted board have allowed him to be here as long as he has been never mind being offered the chance to stay longer.

    Wasn't happy when he signed as I thought he was a massive downgrade on Tierney and 6 years later he still is.

    Defensively hes one of the worst left backs in the league.

    Not good enough to even be a back up.

    People forget the level of performance schlupp put in against bayern away. Unfortunately it's something Taylor isn't capable of because he lacks the speed, strength, height etc

    If we want to improve we need better and schlupp is a much better back up option imo.

    He's out of his depth in our biggest games of the season and that's not acceptable for me.

    Cheerio.

    Hed be fine to keep as a rotation option I think. But hes one of a bunch of players at the club right now who can look good against rank and file SPL teams but struggles at the higher levels.

    The problem as always is he could go out and put in a MOTM performance against Hibs or whatever and everyone will be raving about his importance again.

    Anyone surprised that Greg Taylor struggled defensively or when he is pressed in possession, that he just panics and gives his team mates hospital balls, hasn’t watched much of Greg Taylor.

    If we sign him on it’s because we don’t want the hassle of finding a back up to Tierney and there is a bit of a premium that he counts as league trained. We are then praying Tierney is fit for our big games and Taylor can play home league games against most of the rest of the league and away to bottom 6 teams.

    See when it’s not possible to just pass it to Maeda, I want my full back then taking it forward and driving at them, to at least try and open up space. He is incapable of doing this and then just passes it backwards. I’m not saying the full back should do this all the time, but he never drives with it. If a simple pass to the winger isn’t on, his first thought is to turn and give an easy pass to the centre half.
