Not simply because he scored again yesterday, but I think McGeehan could blossom into an out and out goal scorer if he’s here next season. He even looks and plays a bit like Joe Taylor. Btw, it’s not an obsession thing with JT, nor an inability to move on, just a healthy interest to see how his career is progressing. However, just to add one final point, he would be scoring goals if he was still here, his record of 12 in the first half of the season proves that. But he’s not, and his career trajectory suggests never will be again (although we do have form when it comes to signing 30-somethings when their legs are gone and the goals have dried up, so who knows, maybe one day 🤣). |  |

I didn’t mean it rudely! I just meant it’s easy to look on in envy. But reality is he wouldn’t be pinging in goals for us, with the current team.
Wilkinson for some reason can’t get a decent run of games for love nor money regardless of a recent injury. He hasn’t been injured since he joint.
During his lay off maybe in desperation or rose tinted glasses we have turned Tovide into a goal scoring machine. He as only 4 in 16. Obvs that’s 3/4 more than the current 2 up top. Hopper with 1 isn’t it.
Unless we play better football the goals won’t come.. today why was there 11 of our own players defending a corner in our box… how can we ever conduct a counter… also the midfield at times was void of a col u shirt… you could of parked 2 tanks in the gaps. |
Last week at Barrow when defending a corner we kept Chilvers on the half way line. We were chasing the game at 1-0 down at the time.
Given our predicament the team will always set up in a defensive formation.
I've always been of the opinion that when defending a corner put a striker on the half way line the opposition has to keep two back to defend.
Many years again in 1980 we played Portsmouth at Layer Road.
They came with great support and an attacking line up.
When Colchester forced a corner Pompey put three players on the half way line. I have never seen a team do that since that day.
Interestingly the final score was 1-0 to Colchester. So much for the all out Pompey attack!
Funny old game football.

Leaving 3 upfront is a bit of pee take. Leaving a smaller player between the edge of the box and halfway really is basic football … we wasn’t even winning the battle in the box. I think In general when playing defensive with more that 60 mins left in the game, you would in general leave 1 up. |  | | |

Yes see him on sky… he was down the front… let’s hope Luton let him go or send him out on loan again and we can nab him on a season long loan if we stay up! I doubt it very much if he would come back but he obvs likes the club. | | | |

I saw that on twitter, and Tchamadeu and Gillespie(?) were at a recent game too - gives me a warm fuzzy feeling that we must be doing something right if former players old and new are still prepared to turn up to support the team. Good things will come, of that I'm certain. | |

Gillespie and son have regularly attended U’s matches at Salford. I guess he resides nearby.
Frankly, I’m not surprised former players turn up on days when they have no fixture given the past team bonding formed. it is inevitably legends or those that upwardly progressed (by transfer etc) rather than those discarded, the latter possibly having hurt pride, and, of course, if still fit, having continued playing commitments where not released to join us by an International Window. What I respect is they will sit with the real fans, and not the prawn sandwich brigade. But again that’s possibly natural. Why sit in an area in the ground where nobody will recognise you? Tchamadeu loved the hero worship at Salford posing for selfies and signing autographs. Nice lad. |  | | |

I remember Clinton Morrison and a few other players who travelled but weren’t in the squad join the U’s supporters in our final game at Carlisle in the season we dodged relegation. Not quite the same thing, but still appreciated. Pretty sure I remember a group including Todd Miller do likewise, just can’t remember what the game was. | |

Pretty sure that it was him embracing all our players just in front of us post match.
What a star and he was obviously popular with our guys. |  | | |

I see Scotland are rumoured to be trying to get Taylor to change allegence from Wales.he is now Lincoln's top scorer and with 12 for us he is joint top scorer as think Cam so may end up top scorer with two loan clubs which would some sort of record although Cam could end up with 15 or 16 goals at his present scoring rate. |  | | |

Taylor substituted in the 72 minutes today in their hugely disappointing defeat to Wigan.
Lincoln may have dipped out after their impressive run.
Taylor is still the best player we have had since Jamie Cureton.

The Rams are looking to sign Joe Taylor from Luton.
I can't see Luton agreeing because they will want him at Kenilworth Road in the Championship next season.
Still if the price is right. | |

There is another Joe Taylor!!!!!
At 32 years of age he plays for Ramsgate FC in the Isthmian League.
Last season he scored 52 goals for the Kent side.
A big step up to League Two but he does at least know where the goal is. | |

One to get your blood pressure boiling Durham - Luton appear to be making a bit of a horses arse of Joe Taylor's career right now. According to this report, Joe was actually in Huddersfield ready to sign the paperwork for a season long loan when Luton recalled him, after failing to bring in another striker of their own.
https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/huddersfield-town-deal-for-joe-taylor-luton-to
Quite why they aren't playing him themselves is beyond me, considering they're in the relegation zone, 1 point from four games and only two goals scored. But all he's getting is occasional starts from the bench with 10 or so minutes to go. | |

Wessex remember when Huddersfield called a press conference and prepared the chair ready for Parky to be announced as their next manager and he was a no show.
Totally agree about JT.
Quality player and Luton are ruining him. | |

I do not understand why Luton are making such a hash of their player.
JT is a superb striker but his talent is being wasted.
Luton will find themselves in League One next season if this nonsense continues.
I would have the two Taylors at Colchester with Tovide alongside for good measure.

They are in serious danger of ruining his career.
Frankly it is nothing short of a disgrace
Luton must be odds on to get relegated.
JT was simply our best striker since Jamie Cureton.

Joe Taylor used as a second half substitute on 59 mins at Leeds last night.
Essentially the game was already lost.
Luton should be charged with crimes against football.
Joe Taylor deserves to play every week not this grace and favour nonsense.
The Terriers are waiting in the wings but Taylor has been ignored for half a season and it is criminal.
Luton will go down and it will be entirely their own fault. | |
