    He's a decent player but he's the one opposition always target feel we need a bit of height and power back there

    He literally played a ball up the line to noone at times. Like a * Hibs player.

    If that is an acceptable performance for some then we're in worse shape than I thought.

    I do think he's a weak link due to his obvious shortcomings like pace and height but he is a good footballer. Fine for spl but he'll * us in Europe.

    Ralston could do his job at LB.

    Enough said.

    Nah I don't really agree there. Think that's incredibly harsh. Btw I'm not a Taylor fan as I know we need much better.

    Ralston isn't good enough either yet he's never let us down.

    Ironically GT could be a Ralston type of he wasn't forced to be our LB year upon year.

    I'd honestly say Taylor is marginally better but that's kinda it. Both aren't quite good enough that's all. Ralston is a kinda bog standard full back,hard as * and occasionally plays a good cross or pass, Greg similar but just is a bit more intelligent on the ball, better touch I'd say which helps.

    Taylor is good for domestic he’s not the guy for Europe, but what I will say for him since coming to us is that he has developed, he’s got better. His attitude and work rate is brilliant a thoroughly good professional. He has been let down by the club for not providing competition for the LB position, similar to what we seen with KT albeit KT was miles better as a player.

    He already has.

    He's also a far better RB. Taylor needs to be removed for his own sake.

    Taylor had a decent game.

    If you think otherwise, fight me.

    Ralston has orders of magnitude more assists than Taylor, and he hardly * plays.

    Honestly get him to *.

    Nah. The way Taylor inverts when McGregor is being man marked ensures that we're still able to progress the ball well and maintain rhythm to our play. Ralston filling that role would be like having another Scales in the team.

    Decent today to be fair, solid without being spectacular

    Everyone targets him and it rarely works. Hibs didn't create a shot on goal targeting him and the Huns have gotten very little joy the past bunch of games targeting him. If anything, it's been an advantage to us that a big part of their strategy has been playing hopeful long balls in Taylor's direction because often it's allowed us to easily regain possession.

    Just because sides are targeting him doesn't mean it's effective.

    Seems some people are happy with mediocrity.

    I suppose that's what happens after 6 years of forgetting the guy he replaced.

    We all remember KT right?

    What a left back should look like?

    Right?

    I think the main frustration is aimed towards the Board rather than the player himself, he's an honest player who works hard, you canny ask for more.

    The onus is on the recruitment to find better, this has been the case for well over a year now, it negligence/incompetence.
