He said after making his professional debut, “The Birmingham game was a bit crazy – it was all new and a bit daunting, but I personally felt as though it couldn’t have gone any better aside from the result. I just felt really at home in the team
I didn’t have any idea that I was going to be starting the game either – I was obviously included in the matchday squad, but I didn’t find out until we were in the dressing room beforehand.It probably helped a lot that I didn’t know though, so I didn’t have too much time to get nervous.
I was literally thrown in at the deep end, but I was glad that the manager chose to do it that way. I thought that at best I’d be on the bench, but to find out that I was starting was a massive boost – I knew that I had to step up to the plate and put in a performance. To have the manager’s faith is a massive thing – coming into next season, I’d like to think that my performance against Birmingham has shown that he can trust me and hopefully I’ll be able to get my opportunity again.
Running out onto the pitch at Macron Stadium was incredible though – I’ve literally waiting for that moment all my life and in all honesty, I can’t describe the feeling.
lieutenant was just amazing." After making his debut, Taylor was rewarded with a 12-month contract extension that keeps him at the Macron Stadium until the summer of 2016. In March 2016, he joined League Two side Dagenham & Redbridge on loan until the end of the season.
