Taylor injury

Anyone else smell a rat here? On Thursday afternoon according to Erringtons piece he was looking forward to playing Pompey...

The next thing we know, he's had a "training ground injury" and isn't fit to play

How do you get injured doing light training on a Friday FFS?

It can only mean he's off to Real Madrid for £800 million. DA to get £5.35 of that for next season's team budget. The rest, well, you know how it goes!

No idea Hugh but one things for sure, going on Saturdays game we won't be promoted without him.

DA said he injured himself in pre warm up before training on Thursday

No way has he got a 'wee niggle' has he? Not at this stage of the season, we can't sell him until the end of the season and shorely Brent isn't such a twat to risk promotion is he?

I fail to understand after having a good few months of being battered by Division 3 defenders and more often than not giving better than he gets, he has twanged something whilst doing pilates.

It could all be genuine but as with most things at this club, if it looks and smells like shit it probably is shit. or Nool.

Maybe he's got a good offer elsewhere for next season and doesn't want to risk injury. Remember the Halmosi end of season thing after a wink from Hull ?
The plausibility is a bit thin given Taylor's recent comments re batterings. I certainly smell a rat. Stranger still, that he should duck out of the big game with his former club.

Got a niggly feeling this out for the rest of the season be it what ever the reason hope I’m wrong He was badly missed v pompey

Pompey may be where he's headed. Anyway, looks certain Taylor has played his last match for Argo which means we have no chance whatsoever of making the play-offs. Season over.

BRENT OUT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guys cmon I think you're way out of kilter on this one on multiple levels.
He's picked up an injury somehow and it was noted he was walking normally in Argyle lounge post Pompey game. Likely Adams didnt want to risk him knowing there were a further 5 games to go
Little doubt he'll be back Saturday

I hope so, we may find out during the pressers today. As I said if it looks like shit and smells like shit at the Brentihad it doesn't matter sack its in.

Not everything is a conspiracy. Probably not a coincidence that it’s his ankle, which was the earlier injury.

Do people really believe he suddenly decided, overnight, to stop giving 100% after doing so constantly to get Argyle where they are? This team is flying, every footballer wants to be part of that. If he wanted to force a move he could have done it in January.

He is key though and his name on Saturday’s team sheet (or not) should tell us the longer term outlook.

Different ankle and he's still out. Smell a rat yet?

ouch I was certainly wrong.....we're fecked

Oh dear, Grant is hardly a replacement in terms of hold up play and scoring a few, but then as we know the squad is somewhat limited in terms of quality and numbers courtsey of you know who.
Bring on the ice rink - far more of a priority.

He was not in the Life Centre with the rest of the injured players, the rest of the squad was training on the main pitch this morning. Top training pitch has been reseeded this week.

No, I simply think he has an injury.

Nah, not really. Injuries happen, and as often as not they're for innocuous reasons.

It does put the decision to sell Jervis and have no real understudy to Taylor in stark perspective though. Away against a very leaky Northampton Town is one thing, but we'll need him back against ASAP as Rochdale have found some form.

So your comment about whether his name is on Saturday team sheet informing us longer term outlook is pretty superflous, when clearly for you it hasn't.

I'm quite entitled to my opinion, which is it may be perfectly innocent, having seen rather a lot of horseshit emanating from Home Park I will retain some sceptiscm .

Normally Adams is quite poker faced and doesn't like to give out team info early. Wouldn't be surprised if Taylor made a miraculous recovery and played on Saturday.

I didn't say you weren't, did I? Opine away, as far as I'm concerned.

I'll reserve judgement until we see whether he does actually make Saturday's game but yes, if he doesn't, it might mean longer term bad news. I still think it's nothing more complicated than him busting up his other ankle though.

Does illustrate the paucity of the squad though, as Mike points out above.

The article is talking about the injury sustained at the start of the season when it says "not the same ankle",not the injury sustained last Friday or whenever it was.

Well, I've relented and had a look at the article. It clearly says he's out on Saturday. It's irrelevant which ankle it is.
The give away for me is Adams' comment ... "It’s really in Ryan’s hands at this moment in time"
He didn't have to say that. A bit narked ? Who knows. We don't and nor does Adams. Taylor does have recovery issues, as the last couple of years have shown.
Without Taylor, Argyle might as well kiss goodbye to any play off ambitions, regardless of mind games with the opposition. His abilities have allowed others to shine.

It isn't irrelevant in the context of Hugh drawing attention to the article and seemingly deducing that Taylor had sustained an injury to his other ankle since last Friday. As for the rest of it, we'll just have to wait and see.
