da prosport bet: Lee Bowyer has revealed that Lyle Taylor could be set to play another 45 minutes for Charlton Athletic, rather than starting against Queens Park Rangers, as reported by London News Online.
What did he say?
da supremo: The Montserrat international was prolific at the beginning of the season, getting five goals and an assist in the first six matches of the season.
That is before he picked up a problem on international duty that saw him miss 13 league matches, part of an injury crisis that coincided with a dramatic drop in form from the Addicks.
The 29-year-old has now made three substitute appearances as part of his return and was controversially denied a goal on his return against Middlesbrough.

Bowyer has confirmed that he is ready to start, but may have to wait:
“We have to be careful – like with Lyle [Taylor]. Lyle will be ready to start now. Whether we just chuck him in, I don’t know.
“It might be a case of giving him another 45 minutes. We’ll see how it goes this week.”
Encouraging signs
Whether Taylor actually does start or not, the fact that he is deemed ready to be playing matches from the off is definitely an encouraging sign for the Addicks.
As indicated by his record at the beginning of the campaign, Taylor is a key man for Charlton, and with the team now on a run of ten games without a win, they need all the help they can get.
Bowyer’s stance on the situation should also be positively viewed, as he is ensuring that Taylor is fully prepared to start, rather than rushing him in and risking further injury.
This highlights the manager’s measured approach that has had to be adopted during the club’s injury crisis.
