I was very impressed with Taylor today, a great signing, he wasnt spectacular but he did his job so very well.
Turner is what I expected and delighted with him and I bet Gerrard was so glad he was next to him :ayatollah:

Another decent partnership in Gerrard and Turner!
We are fine in that position :D

With all these new players we have got in since last season most of them costing next to nothing or free is there any signings MM has made that have not been up to scratch?

I knew this team would be good at the start. MM for King!

Only Earnie

and from the sounds of it, his signing was already on the cards before Malky got here

Ben Turner will get better and better as time goes on, this lad is class, Taylor was good at Boro so was pleased when we signed him. :ayatollah:

Can't agree to be honest about Taylor, I think there are far too many attacks and crosses coming in from his side, going forward I am happy with Taylor but defensively definitely not, at one point today Marshall went mental at Taylor at his inability to mark when Forest had a throw in and they got a chance at the far post which thankfully did not trouble the keeper but again another example of Taylors poor defensive display.

Turner I am very happy with and believe we got him quite cheap and his value will continue to rise with each solid performance he puts in.

Strange you should say that as I thought he did well today and according to my brother who listened on Radio Wales reckons Jason Perry was raving about him esecialy towards the end.Still,each to his own eh?

I think where Taylor is concerned its a trade off between attack and defence especially in a team with no real out and out pacy wingers, my view though I like him, can see where your coming from though.

ben turner was immense as expected,taylor very good,my opinion is that his defensive play is becoming better ,i really do think hes a quality player and will continue to improve under malky
gerrard had a few wobbly moments and the odd laspse in concentration,id favour hudson over him anyday but cant argue when we keep a clean sheet,he must have been doing something right.

also id like to mention don cowie who is the fittest player ive seen in years,his stamina and work rate is outstanding

Agree gerrard was poor today, Ben turner was immense and my motm in my opinion :ayatollah:

Re: Ben Turner & Andrew Taylor !!

though gerrard was poor today, almost conceded a penalty, got caught out a couple of times, would av had a red had he connected with that two foot lunge and too many times he miss kicked the ball into touch...

i like gerrard and his commitment but thought he struggled today...

Ditto gimme Darcy anyday,i think Taylor is excellent a big improvement on Naylor :ayatollah:

Thought Turner was immense and I think Taylor played well covered superbly when Super Kev made his one and only mistake towards the end of the game. Thought Gerrard was average and i would put both Hudson and Blake in front of him but he's still a decent Championship CH and fair play helped keep a clean sheet today :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Taylor was wanted big time by Watford,and was one of the main players who MM wanted to bring to Cardiff .
Been impressed by both Taylor and Turner to date ( along with MM other signings ) :ayatollah:
