It is not a coincidence that the successful second half of the seson has coincided with the arrival of Taylor. I have often been critical of the recruitement team but they have been spot on this season.
Jensen, Hackett and Hamilton all excellent signings. Then Mitchell on loan.
But the Taylor one in January has been that final piece in the jigsaw. He is one of those special players who has a knack for getting into goalscoring positions. Yes he misses a few but all good strikers do. But after scoring 12 for Colchester he now has 10 for us. That's a brilliant return hopefully he can fire us into the playoffs next week.
Wel done Jez and his team
Oh how we could have done with a 'Taylor' in the first half of the season. Although he would have ploughed a lonely furrow under Kennedy, we have seen how he can create something out of nothing.
Shame Walker couldn't play a part. The striker shortage really cost us more than the recent midfield shortage has.
To use a Hortinism, Lincoln Siddy would have been home and hosed by now.
