I said when Taylor first came in last season he was championship standard and still stand by that observation.
Grant on the other hand I thought from the start was a league two player and trying to replace Taylor with him is like trying to put a square peg in a round hole.
What worries me most is the thought that if Taylor was out for the whole season we may have been relegation material.
I think it's going to be a very disappointing end to the season but at least we will have trips to the stadium of light and sid James's Park next to look forward to next season.
That’s it write the season off,when still good chance of making playoffs.usual moaners out in force tonight.

Now that doesn't make today's performance acceptable, not one bit, there was very little spirit or fight shown. However laying into the team, the Board and individual players on today's performance is wrong. A bad day at the office, yes, we've all had them but hopefully the players will rectify that on Tuesday at Rochdale.
Jervis and Grant are exactly the same as lone striker. No physical presence. No ability to head the ball. No experience the position. Having JJ today would have made no difference.Deacster":1m9zakwf said:Selling JJ looked a mistake at the time, now without a suitable replacement it looks a massive error. JJ is not as good as Taylor at the lone striker role but was growing into it and did at least offer height, pace and a goal threat. Church injury record has been poor for a few years and if Taylor got injured we could and have been left exposed.
