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!”

Big mistake letting Taylor and Wordsworth go out on loan. Both haven't had any kind of run in the team to prove themselves. Both looked promising when they did get opportunities. Both are the kind of players we need to improve what is a dour and one-dimensional looking Town side. I think both will do well at Rotherham.
I'm really not sure about McCarthy's judgment sometimes.
Ask any defender who they would rather face out of Jay Tabb or Paul Taylor and we all know what they would say. We should have Paul Taylor and Alex Henshall in the team, that would give teams something to worry about instead of the obvious 1-dimensional "get stuck in" type of honest play that Mick seems to hold so dear to his heart! I can't understand why the players with the most skill and pace don't get a look in hardly, it is absolutely crazy!
JET, McGoldrick Henshall, Hyam, Garvan, Taylor Mings, Chambers, Smith, Berra And Bialkowski or Gerken
Surely that is a better team than faced Naaaaridge? Garvan could have been signed pre-season if we showed any ambition. And JET was another talent that we never got the best from. Murphy is an honest striker and he did well when we lost McGoldrick last season, however, he isn't good enough to get us promoted I'm afraid. Look what JET did to West Ham, we could have had that far more regularly if he was given scope to flourish rather than being constrained! And the free header from Murphy against Norwich on Saturday was woeful, should have been 1-1! It really was there on a plate for him! :-( It was horrible to watch, it was like nobody wanted to shoot with any conviction, even when there were opportunities to hit the target!
the goal on 1min 45 is better than anything we r likely to see all seas :-( he had 14 goals for city by the middle of nov last season. yes it was in a lower league and yes he isn't even starting for them this season, but the manager they had last season believed in him and so he repaid with lots of goals, if we had a manager who believed in our more skilful and creative players such as taylor and henshall, then i honestly believe the football would be far more exciting to watch than the turgid "get stuck in" style i've grown to despise under big mick. thank you mick for keeping us up, you will always be fondly remembered for that and you deserved your bonus, but is this the man to take us forwards and do a sean dyche? i think mick has had his day. i really hope i'm wrong in saying that but team selections just don't make sense and he seems stubborn to the point that he'll flog a dead horse just to try and prove a point which frustrates the fans when they can see a player like nouble is a pile a year before mick finally is forced to give up on him when he finds out he isn't even good enough to make the crawley goalie break a sweat!
I know we don't have international quality players at Ipswich Town but I would love to see us aspire to play the game the way Spurs did today vs QPR. Fast paced accurate passing on the ground players moving ahead of the player with the ball making space........ Ah well I shall continue dreaming and hope when I wake up the dinosaur has gone away.
Simply too small. When we re-brand our team and change the name (Hoof Ball Utd) players like Taylor need to be long gone. He can run with the ball and pass it, skills not needed at ITFC.
Surprised we signed Bajner given our tactics. Surely too small...maybe we should get two 7 ft guys up front and just lug it forwards as far as we can.
always new Taylor was a gifted player Wordsworth to always done well i my opinion when started which was very rare can understand their frustrations not given a fair chance when Frank different class Nouble and tabby plus Scuse were always rated better in MM eyes......No one come in for Nouble yet i wonder why perhaps will have to have a raffle.
........ beginning to think that maybe McCarthy is all (some) of our Supporters deserve.
Can't understand how any True Blue' would ever be content with what this man is serving up - would never have been acceptable in the not too distant past.
We slip further and further behind the 'A140 Northerners' as time passes - again, would never have been considered, or allowed to happen in the past. And when will the demise end ??? - or at least be arrested ???
Paul Taylor was and still is a very impressive footballer, that is why we bought him in the first place, I am disgusted at the way he has been treated by our club, and that comment also is directed at certain supporters who wrote a few weeks ago on this forum, belittling his character and skills in a most unkind and unjust manner, I have supported Paul Taylor throughout with all of my postings and I am delighted that the lad is proving me right at Rotherham, if Mick has any sense he will recall him back from loan asap. and give him his fullest support, this would, I'm sure, give him confidence and bring out his clearly obvious skills, we certainly could do with some players of his calibre right now, that's my opinion.
