Greg Taylor appreciation thread

[Docco]

Look, his name doesn't end in a vowel, he's Scottish, he is not a stand out in our team, by no means a fans favourite, not a natural born Tim ...but by, fuck, you have been a breath of fresh air this year......a leader, a 100% trier and a damn fine player who gets better every game.... tonight you were outstanding

He has usually been steady and is a decent full back. He hasn't been so good in attack as he seems to run out of confidence in his ability to beat his opponent and too often turns backwards to lay the ball off rather than attack them and deliver the ball into a dangerous area. If Ange can convince he can do this through lots of practice and hard work then he can become a very important player for us.

I thought his performance in tonight's derby match was his best since he joined us. On the back of his charging in to defend Jota from thuggery in the previous match then I am delighted with his progression in the last few weeks.

Well done GT. Keep getting stuck in and believe in yourself and you will help bting us success.

What is it with you and names that end in vowels?
Juranovic doesn't end in a vowel and he was fucking stunning tonight, Carter- Vickers same, O'Riley same.
Docco - ends in a vowel!

Other than that I think Taylor had a great game.

Ha, fair point but you know what I mean.... sometimes us Celtic fans dismiss a player maybe because he's not foreign enough....you know I'm right....we need to get behind our non-celtic born Scotsmen more often...just like we did in the past re: Aitken, McLeod and most recently Broony

I said last week that Taylor was coming into his own. This is Ange's work again.

I don't think there's an anti Taylor vibe going on here mate, I think he's a fucking solid player and works his arse off. He's been my pick at left back all season. He played great tonight.

I've seen it all over social media my man.... always the first to get roasted

Nah that's Starfish bud!

Up until tonight I didn't think that there was to much to choose between scales and Taylor tbh, but Taylor has stretched the difference hugely after tonight and nailed the position for himself now imo.
Scales will get his opportunity also, but come the bigger games now Taylor has to be 1st choice without question now imo

Daft wee pricks who haven't clue about the game, except on a video game player
They slag more than Taylor, and I wouldn't give them house room
Wee Greg is a good player, and sticks to his task, week in week out, 100%

Any truth in the rumour of Taylor having a 19M Messi dildo in his pocket now

It's true. Taylor gets slammed all the time for no reason on social media. He's pretty consistent -- not flashy but more times than not he gets the job done.

 

[Smelltheg-love]

I’ve said it over and over he’s a victim of something I dint get and never will
A lad that gives his all and is a far better player than most are prepared to accept

but more importantly he’s a first pick for the manager

if ange walks on water then surely we should understand that wee greg clearly has the backing each and every time he’s fit and available

Had tae dae a double take there Shammy, thought the gaffer was postin' oan The Noise. That's usually the way she starts .

He seems to have added a wee bit of “edge” to his game this season I think - like when he was in backing up Jota the other week, and got stuck into their “£40m wonder boy” early doors last night. He’s always suffered as a target for no other reason than he isn’t KT which is unfair because KT is a genuinely world class player. He’s a solid player and looks like under Ange he’s going to develop into a very good player.

I thought that Aitken was always a Celtic fan. If he wasn’t I’ve learned something new.

Anyone who came in after KT was going to suffer the unfair comparisons. GT has proven to have the character to survive under the weight of expectation and unfair comparison.

I really thought last night was the best performance from him in the hoops.
The Ange system seems to suit him ( like Ralston) so maybe it’s down to the coaching also.
Elsewhere I highlighted Taylor and JJ being standouts last night. Happy to repeat.

His best game in the hoops last night he was relentless all night made some great runs in the first half and stuck to his task
