It will be interesting to see what happens here, Taylors seen in the inside training video so we can confirm he's alive and fit, can Marti be the one to get him on the pitch playing?

Sorry but to compare willock and Richards is night and day. Willock has proved himself before to bd an excellent player at this level. Richards has done sweet felicity arkwright, drawing a big wage, having a bad attitude. Whilst it was right to sack ainsworth, endorsing ainsworth out stuff on twitter should have seen him sacked. If Martin can get Richards playing then that would be great, but it's probably not his priority |
From what we've seen thus far (I.e. Richards barely featuring) I'm not sure Richards' attitude has improved? | | | |

Not looking to argue or have a spat - these are genuine questions.
What have you actually seen to justify your opening sentence "I see a top player in Taylor Richards"????????
Then - if you can highlight where I am missing ability etc from the fella - can I question you saying "be good to stop questioning his character". Why? As, if he is the top player you see then the only thing holding him back is actually his character surely?
I'd be picking up the phone to Doncaster and asking if they want him in January with a loan to buy option.
If they only pick up £1k a week of his wages then it's a good deal as we'd be getting more out of him than we have and, I think, ever will. |
When I have seen him play, Rotherham away, recent home game etc I have seen a player who has good technique, good vision, & has courage to take the ball in tight spaces + open up play across the pitch with forward passes,
I don't see a player who only plays for himself and plays a safe 10 yards pass to nowhere of no benefit to the team,
Taylor Richards was initially ridiculed for 'stopping to do up his laces' when actually his heel was clipped and his boot had come off, so he had the option to briefly stop and pull his boot back on or run around in his sock. We have a habit of group-think on this forum and that was the start of the pile-on.
Following that he was criticized for a poorly placed header when trying to retain possession. This was when one goal conceded meant certain defeat, gnashing of teeth and some went looking for an easy scape-goat.
Similar to you, don't wish to argue, but if I saw a player so out of condition he did'nt have the energy to walk back to the dug-out without taking a breather in the stand and then thought it a good idea to pop into a post-match hostelry to slag off the Manager, I would question his character. I don't know or hav'nt seen enough, like the above, with Taylor Richards (or Willock) to question their characters.
Taylor Richards had one of his closest friends murdered last year and was trying to adapt to the Championship and then we employ Gareth Ainsworth as our Coach. That's 3 reasons I can think of to give him a break.
For the above reasons, I hav'nt given up on him and see no reason to question his character, unlike one, if not two, attacking players from Warburton's last team. | | | |

There was a game about a year ago when he came on for possibly the last half hour, I think it was a home game, and he played up the middle and looked fairly dynamic. I'm sure I saw it. 95% sure anyway.
What was in his head that day, why he played like that, what he had for breakfast, what happened after that, if he even remembers it - who knows? |  | | |

Huddersfield. Brilliant, for about 15 minutes. Still lost 2-1. It's the single positive contribution he's made in a year and half for us. This idea he's shown all sorts of promise and dynamism and whatever else in his brief cameos is fantasy. Now not even on the bench, again. |  | | |

Fair enough if that’s your view but clearly we’ll totally disagree
I also think you’re barking up the wrong tree in dissing Charlie Austin in some sort of negative positive in respect of Richards
If Richards contributes even 1% of what Austin has done for this club then I’ll give away all my worldly possessions, eat that hat of mine and see you for a drink in W12 wearing just a mankini
We’ve yet again set a waster up for life with a 4 year contract on wages every single one of us can only dream of. How can the transfer policy of this club be so poor? Where is the due diligence in committing millions to these blokes?
I’ll never get this “if there weren’t something wrong with ‘em they wouldn’t be here” bollox argument. Our players need to be fit, be available, have minerals and character that cannot be questioned as well as ability. If not you’re just chucking 50’s onto a bonfire in the desert.
Richards has nothing we need either now when the chips are down or anytime in the future should there be good times and sunshine |  |

I hate to think how much this fellow has cost the club - not only the wages he's been paid but all the other costs such as the admin costs of employing him and presumably a lot of medical fees.
OK, some people don't handle issues in the way most of us do and indeed have to.
It can't go on though can it ? |  | | |

That was it then. Someone pin him down and inject him with 300 cc's of that. | | | |

Be fair, he was good away at West Brom last season too. | | | |

West Brom away? He only played for seven minutes, and in one of those missed a great chance to win the game. | | | |

Interesting re-emergence of the Richards discussion.
While I sympathise with what he went through last year, the elephants in the room are:
1. social media activity, which is pretty much at odds with someone going through continued grief
2. It has been a year now. A few on this board, myself included, have lost people in the last years, and while everyone handles it differently there tends to comes a time where you just pick yourself up and get on with the day-to-day, even if the pain remains.
3. third (or fourth if we count PBBC) manager where he slowly has slipped out the picture.
I have this feeling that coming back to where he grew up may have been the worst thing for him, he's basically regressed. It seems little surprise that the one successful period he had was at Doncaster, far away from the environment he grew up in and also from bright lights and distractions (except horse racing :-D). There clearly is potential there but he could be one of those who needs to be in a quiet part of the world far from London to fulfil it. | | | |

The new Ravel Morrison
Its 4 QPR managers now who have seen this waster at work and all 4 have seen him for what he is
The excuse of his best mate dying is wearing thinner than Karl Readys hairline , Billy Sharp lost his son and then the following few days played and scored the winning goal , this bloke has done nothing in 18 months and people are still looking to make excuses for him for a worldy 7 minutes against West Brom
Needs paying up with what funds we have and needs shipping out of the club pronto |  |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

I’m going to step out of line on this and put up a defence for Tyler.
It was up North.
It was a Friday night.
And it was fckin freezing.
How you lot can even question his loyalty to the cause is beyond me. |  | | |

Let's all forget about him and his problems he is/was a mistake of a purchase and focus on a player like Elijah Dixon- Bonnar who is stepping up and playing very well under our new manager. |  | | |

I would be more than happy to forget all about him except the club will be paying him for another three years for doing absolutely nothing. | | | |

I'm fast losing patience with Richards. When Cifuentas joined he made it clear that he was wiping the slate clean and giving everyone a chance. He's kept his word. Willock is back in from the cold, Dixon-Bonner has emerged, Larkeche looks a different animal, and even Kelman is contributing. If Taylor doesn't make an impression under Marti then he never will. |  | | |

Talking of Ravel Morrison, he has just been convicted of fraud for using a dead persons blue badge to park his car.
How low, nevermind thick, can he go? | | | |

Kolli sustained an injury playing for Algeria U20s during the last international break. |  | | |
