He was good enough in the league before... Was he? I'm sure he was part of our lacklustre attacking performances (due to lack of effort and poor attitude) which helped get us relegated out of the football league for the first time in our history. Personally I wouldn't put the blame on a 20 year old lad in his second full season. He made some mistakes, but he's got his head down and is doing OK.

Exactly. Let's have some positivity. While MT is out let's encourage Ellis and see what he can do. UTG.

Taylor is out with couldnthitabarndooritis. Not sure if there is a cure. He's a good squad player who has had ample chances to prove himself in front of goal - failed. A chance for Harrison to show what he can do. were you there for the second half? sadly harrison showed us what he could do.

Matty Taylor seems to be the latest player to divide opinion amongst us gasheads. To me he is the best centre forward at the club, he holds the ball up better than anyone else, he brings other players into the game. Unfortunately he is guilty of missing chances which gives the doubters easy ammunition to criticise him. Hopefully his injury isn't serious, if it is I think DC will try and get another loan player in.

Harrison has had enough game time over the past few years to show that he is NOT up to the mark IMO He lacks some of the basics to make a decent footballer despite Wales call ups
To say that by giving him a prolonged spell would then possibly / probably show is a better bet then than a fully fit / half fit Matty Taylor defies belief - there is simply NO comparison

Another attribute that Matty Taylor has is anticipation, which is something clearly lacking in Harrison and Blissett especially who is constantly caught on his heels. I am hoping Blissett will come good next year after a proper pre-season and get used to being a full time professional. I read on the Grimsby forum that they thought he had given their centre halves the toughest game they had had all season.

Taylor never stops running, never stops dragging defenders all over the pitch, has an excellent first touch, and is pretty reasonable in the air for someone who isn`t the tallest. Of course I wish he was more composed in front of goal, but overall his contribution to our healthy league position has been as great as any other player. Criticize Blissett, who is to football what Audley Harrison is to boxing.

He adds nuisance value but he hasn't shown enough yet for me, jury still out. A bit like Devon White after 8 pints IMO - can't seem to coordinate his arms and legs.
Taylor isn't up to scratch, yes he has been our best striker, but that sums up our problems for me. Lets hope that our rock solid defence can carry us over the line.

I guess we're paying Div 2 wages to the back 5, Conference wages to the front 2 if doesn't take rocket science to work out why one's alot better than the other?

If we paid £50k for Blisset what was the shortfall for Brunt? Need to include Blissets wages in the calculations. Think Brunt will score/create more o'er next 18 months. Yes if he is injured again then my thoughts may be stuffed.

Harrison changed the game when he came on. We looked the poorer side (against 10 part-timers) until the later changes were made. Superb finish from Harrison after a great flick on from Matty Taylor. Thankfully it was that way round else it could well have stayed 1-1 :-) Ugly win - but I'll take that. UTG!

Thankfully it was that way round else it could well have stayed 1-1 :-) Ugly win - but I'll take that. UTG! Corrected that for you, as for superb finish, he would have rightly been slaughtered for missing it. I like Harrison and want him to do well but he has to start producing on a regular basis. He was poor on Saturday and take away the goal Tuesday people would have been on here saying he had a stinker.

Harrison did alright in my eyes on Tuesday, more comfortable playing alongside Taylor anyway (as most players would be)

He was poor on Saturday and take away the goal Tuesday people would have been on here saying he had a stinker. The first 45 minutes were dire and changes had to be made. I have no idea why Gosling started ahead of Dawson. A combination of Dawson / Harrison coming on injected pace and we looked far more dangerous. Blissett probably needs a rest right now and needs to work on first touch (seeing as the second one is usually a header). I think it's a bit rich to suggest Harrison needs to "start producing on a regular basis" - when he never gets a start! He's seen as a 'good impact player'. Why not give him the chance to make an impact for 90 minutes? Anyway agree to disagree. UTG.

He's only scored four goals less than Taylor this season despite getting very little time. I'm not saying I prefer Harrison over Taylor but Ellis has done OK this year. Take away that hat-trick at Dorchester and the only thing he's done that has actually made a difference to the result is his goal against Lincoln. When Easter comes back into the squad I wouldn't even expect Harrison to be on the bench anymore. Someone did some analysis a few weeks back that showed conclusively & unequivocally that if you discount Taylor's games at the start of the season when he couldn't see the barn door him & Harrison have almost identical goals per minutes played record. For obvious reasons FACup games weren't counted

Yes if he is injured again then my thoughts may be stuffed. That's certain to get all of the mindless Brunt-haters out. Those who love to kick a chap when he's (hopefully) temporarily down. Still, whatever floats your boat eh?
