September 4, 2025Sep 4 Sounds a load of bollocks how have they measured that and over what distance ? Not like it was a rumbalows 100 metre sprint at Wembley stadium to decide it

Not like it was a rumbalows 100 metre sprint at Wembley stadium to decide it We have heard about speeds before, albeit within a club. Maybe they just use the data that's acquires from the pro-zone type equipment.

September 4, 2025Sep 4 It's just showing their top speed, which could have been achieved in runs that varied in length and doesn't account for things like how quickly they get to that speed. Saying all that, if on the face of it he's in the same bracket as Elanga he must be pretty quick
September 5, 2025Sep 5 Its a good attribute to have obviously but think the first 10m is more important in football than top speed.
September 5, 2025Sep 5 Wayne Rooney could reach a top speed in excess of 150 mph when dropped from an aeroplane. Fact.
November 30, 2025Nov 30 Not just yesterday, but in his last few appearances Richard Taylor has looked slow to me. Maybe the stats quoted above relate to straight line running but he has the turning circle of an oil tanker? Whatever it is he seems to be chasing shadows 🏧
November 30, 2025Nov 30 Hence why he isn't displacing Conway. He is probably also somewhat disappointed as I doubt he expected to be playing second fiddle when he signed. If that is the case then he needs to knuckle down. I have a feeling he will start against Huddersfield and will need to be at it.

I have a feeling he will start against Huddersfield and will need to be at it. He did start v Huddersfield in the cup, and played really well IMO (even scored). Presume you mean Swindon or Bradford? But cup games count for nothing re who starts the next league game. If Taylor's going to start at Mansfield SS will have already decided that, performances in cup games won't influence that, barring things like proving fitness (Gale, EE etc).
