Rotherham Boss Delighted With Taylor
Sunday, 24th Aug 2014 16:50

Rotherham boss Steve Evans praised the “excellent” Paul Taylor after the on-loan Blues striker helped the Millers to a 1-0 victory at Millwall on Saturday. The 26-year-old, on loan at the New York Stadium until January, supplied the cross which led to Ben Pringle’s winner four minutes after the break.

The Millers’ line-up also included Anthony Wordsworth, who was making his debut having joined the South Yorkshire side earlier this week, also on loan until January, while Scott Loach was on the bench.

Regarding Taylor, who is still to open his goals account after three games for the Millers, Evans told the Rotherham official website: “He’s been terrific every day I’ve seen him. He was at Peterborough which is why he went for £1.5 million to Ipswich Town.

“He was good there but these teams have big squads and we’re always on the lookout for good players wherever they are.

“We’ve got Loachy, Paul Taylor and now Anthony Wordsworth now from Ipswich but I don’t mind where they play. We’ll take them off the moon from Martian FC if they’re good enough to play for us.

“Paul’s always a player we’ve liked and we were quite diligent with that and worked quite hard because he was on his way to a 'bigger' Championship club and I had to convince him to come here. He's a terrific kid.

“He was excellent today but it was amongst a number of other big performances today and an overall excellent team performance.”

As for Wordsworth’s debut, he added: ‘[Lee] Frecklington and Wordsworth complemented each other.”

Jack Marriott made his second appearance for Carlisle as they drew 1-1 at home to Southend, the striker coming close to netting his first league goal on a number of occasions. The 19-year-old is with the Cumbrians for a month.

Freddie Veseli made his fifth appearance for Port Vale as they lost 2-0 at home to Notts County. The former Swiss U21 international is at Vale Park until January with Mick McCarthy having confirmed that he is out of his future plans.

Meanwhile, Suffolk Constabulary have revealed that they made just two arrests at yesterday’s East Anglian derby.

Elsewhere, former Blues boss Jim Magilton has revealed just how close the Blues came to signing Everton’s Republic of Ireland international Seamus Coleman back in January 2009.

Magilton, now the elite performance director at the Northern Irish FA, tweeted: “Amazing ITFC had agreed a deal of £50k for Seamus Coleman from Sligo Rovers when Everton came looking - and the rest is history, as they say!”

Martian FC would be based on Mars not on the moon.

Taylor may not be the best but he's a lot better than most of our midfield and actually likes to attack and pass forwards, but oh well I guess we have to live with defensive midfielders!

Why is it that Tayls always looks as if he is expecting somebody to tell him he's done something wrong.....?

quote CavendishBlue "Why is it that Tayls always looks as if he is expecting somebody to tell him he's done something wrong.....?"

It's called the McCarthy effect.

The arrests were at the Railway Station.

Unusually two trains arrived on time at Ipswich Railway Station.The one from London containing mostly town fans and the one from Nodge were at their respective platforms simultaneously.

There were brief fisticuffs and the police dog bit one of the Nodge fans.

The same fan was arrested again later for animal cruelty when the dog crooked it....

Time will tell how Wordsworth and Taylor get on, and it'll be interesting to see whether they keep their places in the Rotherham side. It's not good to see the Millers above us in the table at the moment.

I suspect we may have had to pay Peterborough more money on the transfer fee if Taylor did well here, so another possible reason we shipped him out as the ITFC transfer pot seems to have dried up as soon as Jewell left.

Did the poor police dog get rabies from there fan. With Paul Taylor I don't think I was not the only one asking for him to be shipped out.

Steve Evans is king of the wind-ups. Time will tell, but no player crosses Evans.....watch this space.

We did have 'Mark Venus' play for us a few years back
So maybe we need someone with the initials of E.T. rather than P.T.

Given a run in a team I believe he will do well in this league , not given the chance here due to the likes of Nouble, Tabb etc being rated better than him

Without doubt the most gifted footballer at the club and id be building the side around him but hes a little too exciting for us. We are labelled hard working, organised, stubborn, resilient......as is every other club in this division, but its those with the xtra spark that will ultimately succeed. We dont have that. I heard G,Neville say of Man u today"its ponderous,you know where the nxt 3 passes are going". The same could have been said of us.......only we didnt complete 3 passes !

Well said Chepstow. Maybe come January MM will realise he's made a mistake. Doubt it though - too stubborn!

I think Taylor its a much better player than Tabb for sure.

Sounds like the police dog did more than our whole midfield yesterday. I do think McCarthy should've given Taylor a proper chance in the first team but you have to look at the bigger picture, things may have gone on that we don't know about. Talent wise he's certainly better than anything we have at the moment which makes it hard to watch us get rid.

Nick prefers Sammon to Taylor which is all we need to know!

Taylor was to small for our team also he had a problem with the ball ..he couldnt see the bloody thing...Good luck Tayls enjoy playing football the way it should be played no matter what club or level your at.
