Not bad being as he’s only conceded 4 and by my reckoning he’s only been at fault for 1 v Derby.
Whoops, time for a crafty edit. It was 4 conceded from 7 shots prior to Saturday.... my bad.

Have a look at Stoke's best chance on Saturday. it is near the end and the winger beats Styles (a bit too easily) but look at the centre back who should be covering him.Taylor looked and then decided he was too slow to get there!

Maybe even Taylor wouldn’t pick Taylor?

Can we recall Bartley
RE: CBs vs Blues? - MGalea - 02-10-2026
I'd recall fuggin' Luggano at the moment!

I'm bringing my boots tonight. Like Taylor's they are made of lead. I'm also bringing my pet sloth, to show Taylor an example of speed when compared to him.

I'd probably go to a 3 with Diakite splitting them or using Gilchrist in his best position RCB.
The howls at the formation would be unbearable though.
Indeed - the formation wasn't the issue in the back 3, more so the organisation and asks of the individuals in each position. We executed 3 at the back several times under Mason without any issues, and indeed against Charlton we looked very comfortable playing that way.
I have no idea what to expect tonight, but the thought of Taylor at CB in a back 4 does not fill me with any optimism!
There's been a few times this season I've thought we should execute the back 3....
I dread saying it before the game but Taylor actually looks better at CB than at LB. I think that might be the way he goes. Or possibly with Diakite as a 3rd CB?
I know they are all much of a muchness in terms of how shite they are but execution is a bit of a strong punishment.

We should retain execution for paedophiles, cop killers and female football presenters

And lots of rage.

I think
"I've seen you on TV, I don't think your particularly insightful, you aren't likeable, and simply there are better pundits."
is enough of a public execution, to be honest!
