As Dean Smith has just pointed out - he was one of three in a back four that conceded very few goals in the last 15 games last season (after leaking loads). He (Smith) is obviously keen on a fair degree of continuity. UTV.
Unbelievable, since May, all the “in Deano we trust” has disappeared before we’ve even kicked a ball !?!We’ve all got opinions, and this site is for posting them but lay off Deano, he’ll have his reasons, either dealt with illness or injuries , or just simply his choiceAs he’s just said, 3 of our back 4 were on a very long winning run last year

This is a discussion forum. Suggesting Targett might have started ahead of Taylor doesn't mean we're all suddenly turning on the manager!

Elmo didn't feature that much in the warm-up games given his involvement for Egypt (which was more than decent). Maybe Elmo gets the nod to help settle and support Trez. Taylor is a surprise, though the grief he gets from some is over the top.We signed 12, and six are starting and another four are on the bench. Away at Spurs first up and you could make a case for being defensively conservative particularly with Jack and the front three, so that might explain why Taylor gets the nod. UTV.If Neil Taylor is our best bet when we want to adopt a defensively conservative approach, god help us against the rest of the top 4 is all I can say.As Dean Smith has just pointed out - he was one of three in a back four that conceded very few goals in the last 15 games last season (after leaking loads).

But there are too many already moaning about Deano’s Choices, that’s what he gets paid for. We don’t see what happens at BMH all week or the stats they use

It’s opinions as you say, I won’t agree with everything he does but I agree he knows more than me. I am surprised at Taylor starting, but that’s not having a go at Dean. I did have a Moab about Dean, in the pub after Brentford away, and keep getting reminded of it ha ha
