Taylor has the potential to score more than Bradley Wright-Phillips did in season 2011-12.
If he sticks in 25+ and Grant gets into double figures as well, we might just have a chance of really competing for a place at Wembley in May.
I know it's very early days, but there's no harm in dreaming about it just a little.

I wouldn't risk him, of all players.
Bolster the Tuesday evening squad with some other league first-teamers by all means, but asking Lyle Taylor to lead the line is an unjustifiable risk in my opinion.
For pity's sake, do we really need Taylor in the team to overcome Mansfield Town at the Valley?

Cracking goal from Taylor last night, a chip from outside of the box.
The lad could definitely play in the Championship IMO, and I’m sure Duchatelet would like to facilitate this happening.

One thing was demonstrated beyond doubt yesterday- if Lyle Taylor gets injured or sold this season, our season is over the same day.
I’m not a fan of KAG....but Ajose and Hackett-Fairchild are non existent replacements.
RHF has a poor touch and looks like he needs to bulk up - the lad needs a long loan spell in the non league to learn his trade. He is nowhere near ready (or shouldn’t be...) to play for us.
Ajose is a wages thief - he must pinch himself that his one good season at Swindon when he scored about 15 penalties has enabled him to nick a living with us. It’s going to be a happy day when his swaggering arse walks out of Charlton for the last time.
We will have to get a loan striker in, and quick, if anything happens to Lyle.

Fair play to Karlan Grant, he has scored the most goals from open play for Charlton so far this season.
But I agree completely that if anything happens to Lyle Taylor then Grant alone will be nowhere near enough to prevent Charlton sliding into lower mid-table. And without Taylor, Grant will be alone - because Hackett-Fairchild, Ajose and Vetokele are little more than passengers.

When we sell Taylor in Jan to a Champ club …. probably Brentford for £1.5m …. we will be told that as we already have Grant, Ajose, Vetokele, Fairchild & Hackett we do not need additional cover in that position... then the Belgian apologist #1 (Mr Bowyer) will agree that we have a strong squad and all we need in January is loan cover at left back.
Personally I expect us to lose several players in January (those who won't sign their newly offered contracts, or those who have just not been offered one) but even I will be gobsmacked if the Club sells Lyle Taylor.
That would be the same as a written statement on the website that we are throwing in the towel this season.
I guess RD could try the 'Kermorgant' excuse, and imply that Taylor told him he'll down tools unless he gets a bumper new contract etc. But nobody would believe the Belgian. Duchatelet's previous attempts to convince people that his damaging decisions were actually taken for the good of the Club have cut no ice.
If Taylor is sold Bowyer should resign - both as a protest and to salvage his own integrity.

On a recent thread on ITTV SR expressed the view that he believed Roland's version of events, and he was right to get rid of him. He was supported in this by a few of the regular suspects.
Apparently there is circumstantial evidence to support Duchatelet's version of what happened with Kermorgant (though RD did not name the player in his interview).
However even if there is some truth in the owner's account of those events back in 2014, I don't think many Charlton fans would believe RD if he tried to justify a January sale of Lyle Taylor by suggesting the player forced his hand by some unreasonable means.
Everybody would see it for what it would really be - cashing in on a free-transfer player without regard for the harm done to the team.
Roland tells so many lies, and has introduced such a culture of lying to Charlton, that it's easiest to assume that he is lying all the time. That's what I do anyway.
