what doesn't help him is the way he publicly berates fellow players when the goals have gone in. i have no idea what he is saying, but it doesn't seem to be overly positive or motivational to me.
the stats don't lie, without him, we have had significantly better results this season.
So does Buchanan and Matt Taylor did the same .
Often Buchanan throws his arms up at something which he could have prevented !
You don’t know , unless you play in the team how this may or may not affect people.
Taylor is not a terrible player like say for example Sinclair or Alfei but is out of form . I think Sampson hasn’t helped his cause by publicly slating him on the radio.
He’s got 18 months to go and I doubt he’s off in this window so he’s here for a while .
Let’s compare Jay Williams to Taylor when he comes up against a bruiser who can head the ball.
