This him...
He is a good prospect, I think he will do well with us.
Well Bobby’s mother was proud of her lad and every reason to be, she was stood next to us telling young lads her son was number 35. Big prospect young Faulkner

Have you seen him play or any knowledge of him before today? Just interested as to how you can know so much about so many players. Is it just reviewing stats or are you watching lots on the development circuit
The No7 (Jack) looked completely out of his depth, which is no surprise if he’s been released by York). Why are we looking at him?As Camps has already said, Taylor seems to have traded football for Rugby - all his ‘shots’ were way over!Agree re young Faulkner - looks a prospect. But please don’t tell me big Tom is going to be out. We definitely need his experience at the back.The rest:Miller looks a lively addition and I think will be a big improvement up top.Griffiths needs to see Slimming World - he must be a stone overweight!We still need a target man - Griffiths isn’t that. Tommy one or two flashes but a bit rusty (no surprise).Shame we didn’t see Biggins and Molyneux - anyone know why? They may add a bit of quality?
Couldn’t make the game. How did Dunne look?

Reo never has been a target man, and up to now he hasn't been played as one. I'm not convinced we will play in a way necessitating such a player anyway under McSheffrey. Makes me laugh also seeing the comments about Taylor needing shooting practice. That has always been the weakest point in his game, he can't finish for toffee. I'm just glad he's fit to play after the 18 months he's had.

If he somehow plays most of this season's games, that works out to around 7 goals. The only qualifier to that may be that he hasn't played as low as League Two since very early in his career.I like Tayls, he brings directness and drive to the side. But no amount of finishing practice this summer is going to change the fact that he just isn't a strong goal threat and never will be.

You have just posted that he scored double figure goals in one season for Peterborough. I also think he got 8/9 one season for Rotherham.He hasn’t played in League 2 for some time if ever. Not sure if he had a season with Rotherham at that level some years ago, but to say he won’t score 8/10 goals in league 2 could of course prove to be correct Alias, but to say categorically that he won’t do it is imo a bit silly. If he plays 40 games ( starts ) then I will back him to get 8 this season. Even allowing for his wayward shooting yesterday.

If he plays 40 games ( starts ) then I will back him to get 8 this season. Even allowing for his wayward shooting yesterday.He played in League Two in his first couple of seasons as a senior pro, at Shrewsbury. When they won promotion in 2012, he didn't score a single goal despite playing in 36 games.Tayls also scored exactly 4 league goals in each of his three seasons at Rotherham, despite playing 40+ games in two of those seasons. When we signed him, I spoke to some Rotherham fans for ITEN and their report was that he'd be popular because he'd run and run all day, but don't expect any end product from him because he can't finish and he doesn't score enough goals. That proved to be true when he played for us, he often got into the box but just wouldn't finish chances - he's missed some absolute glaring sitters for us and it sounds like he was wayward with his shooting again yesterday.The fact is that Taylor doesn't score many goals despite being a forward/winger, and if he plays the 40 games this season that will probably be required for him to reach that goal tally you're touting Camps, it will be a very impressive feat considering his recent injury history. We can't be expecting success in 2022/23 if Taylor is going to be one of our main attacking threats.Again, I like him but his strengths are not in front of goal.
If we’ve signed Molyneux to play right wing, then I imagine Taylor will be his back up.Molyneux - 43 games last seasonTaylor - 3 games last season
