Curle must surely be aware of the stats with / without Taylor. Why did he keep picking him, does he believe it to be a coincidence? Is he confident that he knows the reasons for those defeats and is comfortable Taylor wasn't a cause? I think if I was in Curle's shoes I'd have taken him out for a couple of games to see, maybe the latest injury has helped him with that.
Part of the problem with Taylor and the fan base is that has pretty much become the accepted truth amongst the fans that he is a bad egg / has an attitude problem. When he was out earlier in the season all the talk around the ground on match days were that Curle bombed him out due to his attitude, or that him and Barnett had a punch up and were both sent away from the squad. It is all classic 2+2 = ?. The stuff about him swearing and storming off on Saturday was presented originally as though it was an eye witness account, only later for that person to back track to it being relayed from a 'reliable source'. It's a bit like a newspaper running an inflammatory front page and apologising a day later on page 16, the damage is done.
It might all be true but as Boot & Shoe says who knows. There is a lot of talk on here (and twitter) about players who don't care or have a bad attitude when none of us know if it is true at all, but it absolutely sticks.
